Resort Kata Palm Resort in Kata

This place is located on the main road in Kata. The rooms and swimming pool are well maintained. The breakfast buffet was decent as well. Overall, it’s a good place to stay.

Breakfast wasn’t great, room was spacious. Had fresh towels everyday. At 6am every morning you will hear sweeping/ cleaning outside your room which can wake you up.

Great Location and Comfortable Stay – Book Online for Best Value

This hotel has an amazing location, right behind Kata Walking Street, a food and souvenir market, and just 150 meters from Kata Beach. It’s central yet quiet, which is a big plus.

The rooms are clean and well-equipped, featuring big, comfy beds, a warm shower, a garden shower, and a small terrace with direct pool access. The only minor inconvenience is the lack of power sockets near the bed. Toiletries are decent, and they provide extra towels for the pool or beach.

The pool is large and beautiful, especially at night with the decorative lights and palm trees. It’s quite shallow (about 1m deep) but great for relaxing. There are water jets and submerged stools where you can sit and enjoy a drink at the pool bar, but unfortunately, the bar was closed even during high season. Sunchairs are always available, and there’s also a library and a pool table for extra entertainment.

The lobby area is nicely decorated, with tables, chairs, and sunbeds both indoors and outdoors. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and tropical, with a resort-like feel, making it a great place to relax in the heart of busy Kata Beach downtown.

Breakfast is served buffet-style indoors at the restaurant from 6:30 to 10:30, which is a convenient time range, but the food and drinks could be better. The waitstaff wasn’t very attentive, and the toilet near the lobby and restaurant wasn’t always clean.

Housekeeping ignored the “Do Not Disturb” sign and knocked repeatedly in the morning. After I asked them to stop, they did—but then they failed to clean the room. The reception staff speaks very little English and isn’t very helpful. For example, they refused to assist when my driver called speaking Thai and needed directions.

While the staff generally lacks warmth and initiative, they do fix technical issues quickly. I had problems with the safe one day and the door lock another, and both were resolved immediately.

I booked through Agoda for €50 per night, which is great value. However, at the reception desk, they were asking for almost double the price. Booking online is highly recommended to get the best deal.

We stayed in suite 820, Pool Access Room for 3 nights: $299.76 plus $ 56.35 tax total $356.11. Very convenient location, behind Kata Walking Street. Near all the convenience and walking distance to the beach. Breakfast is included. Don’t miss out on the omelette station, outside tables. We didn’t see it until it was too late. On our last day here after we had breakfast, on the way back to our room, we discovered the made to order eggs. Surprisingly, while having breakfast there every morning, the staff never mention anything about it. Lol

Because the location is ideal if we were to return to Kata, we would definitely stay here again.

Note:
The owner has breakfast at the diner also, not sure if it’s every morning. Before sitting down to enjoy his meal, he made a point to go around and greet everyone in their language. I thought that was a nice touch :)

Be sure to close the sliding door when go in and out of your room, otherwise you will get a lot of mosquito bite during the night. I did, at least 5 bites 😭

Fanatics Location

Lovely calm and quiet hotel just next to the busy Kata beach strip. Staff were super friendly and kind, especially to our two young kids. Loved our room. We stayed in a Deluxe Hideaway and it was easily big enough for 2 adults and 2 small kids with our youngest in the bed with us (The bed was huge). Bathroom was like a spa bathroom, with massive bath, shower and lovely vanity. The pool is amazing and everything was very clean. Breakfast was good, your usual Thailand breakfast with a mix of western and thai options. After i booked i read a few 1 star reviews on Google so i was nervous, but i have to say i think they are fake as we really did have a great stay here. Definitely one of the best value for money hotels we've stayed at too.
