The 10 best Resorts in Kata Beach, Thailand

May 27, 2023 Brain Ambrose

Just to the south of Karon lies Kata, a laid-back town with two stunning beaches. Kata Yai is the bigger beach, and if you’re not the type to lounge on the sand all day, you can rent practically any type of water-sports equipment here. Kata Noi, on the other hand, is quieter and smaller—ideal for a lazy day. Want a break from the beach? TripAdvisor travelers recommend taking a local Thai cooking class or going elephant trekking.

My wife and I just visited Phuket, and we spent the most of our stay there at this tropical hotel. We encountered a nice and helpful staff during our stay, which made our time there worthwhile. We took advantage of the complimentary shuttle service to Kata Beach, which is the closest and most beautiful beach. The room was large and comfortable, with a view of the sea, and it exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return to this location because it captivated our hearts and gave us nice sentiments following the Covid.

2nd times here First time was so happy but this time very disappointed with poor service mind of Manager who’s not on duty. I love the room and everything but not their words. Have a BAD smell in the room changed 3rooms still same. The manager (on the phone she’s not there in that day) name Ae(I saw on sup phone) She said can’t upgrade to the other room type “If you don’t want to pay for upgrade pls wait in some other room and I will let ENG to clean up the air con” …. “IF YOU DON’T WANT TO PAY FOR UPGRADE” this is not good. Very bad. I travelled a lot never met any manager so rude like this I paid for what I should get but after get in the room it’s smell like “pee” 3 rooms still the same cause it same building. I’ve arrived 3pm change the room 3times until the last one at 5pm still have bad smell but better than previous. Super tried with this I’ve give up don’t want to do anything only want to sleep One bad thing that the manager said “Even GM can’t upgrade or do anything for me” …. So I have to sleep in the room smell pee whole night. Surprise me that GM can’t do anything. Wow…. One star wanna give to “Hotel view” And Khun Pream Khun Nam(SUP the one who handle this better than the manager) also Khun Leo(I’m not sure I’m correct or not but he’s bellman) Even this hotel have a nice view and beautiful room but bad smell. The worst things is the bad words from manager make me so upset and won’t go back for the 3rd time also not recommend to anyone who wanna traveling with good service.

I can only says the facilities is super for kids. but the room is leaky and kata beach is a dead town. Their room planing is terrible as we are at the far end which need quite a bit of walking. The room layout is a bit funny. the basin is outside the bathroom and its always wet. Their room are only like 10% -15% occupied. restaurant food was so so. Despite only 1 table at the restaurant the soup came barely warm. The worst thing is the during my check in I had a very bad experience. They took my passport to copy and they lost my boarding pass and embarkation card and they are not even apologetic about it. Best part they just stood there not saying anything and just told me I could get a new embarkation card when I am flying off. Secondly, the reception is of double standard. when I was checking out there was another person who was checking out. She asked how was his stay and he just returned the key and left the hotel. She asked me to stay for 10mins while she send a bell boy and housekeeping team to check on my room. Well, to me is fine as the room was as it is. Ask to borrow an umbrella, told me to walk back to my room to get it. Absolutely no help. Anyway decide to check out 1 day early to explore Patong as it was way more rowdy. Stay at your own risk. You able to get a better price stay else where as you need to pay for taxi to go Patong or other area as there is absolutely no crowd at kata beach. there is absolutely no tour or even briefing on how to get about the resort.

Doesn't deliver

Reviewed By thewearytraveller85

Visited April 2022. The web site looks great but pictures were taken some time ago. Doesn't deliver on what's there. There is no massage/spa, The restaurant only does breakfast therefore to me that's not a restaurant. There is no bar and there is no shuttle service. These reasons are why we booked here and we were really disappointed. I made a complaint quickly but the management never got back to me. It is quite far away from decent restaurants and bars and although it's only a 15 minute walk, in that heat it's not pleasant. Also roads dangerous, no pavements, no lighting and no tuk tuk's to get you there. Plenty for getting you back. Breakfast is not what we are used to as cannot eat chicken pad thai at 9 a.m. We were reduced to eating toast (hot bread, didn't toast) runny butter and jam. There were pastries and a couple of bits of fruit but for what we paid this was not good. This was the same every day. Room service was good and the pool access was brill. Loungers need a cushion. Cleaning was fairly good except they didn't clean toilet. Disgrace!! Staff were very good and we could get by with their broken English. If you want to go to Phuket, stay closer to beach area at Kata or Karon and don't believe that 15 minute walk means 15!! This was a big trip for us and we were really disappointed.
