5 star hotels in Kata

The facilities and amenities were excellent, and the air conditioning was promptly fixed when it broke down in the middle of the night. The room we were given faced the beach directly, and the breakfast was superb. My whole family was very happy with our stay.

Comments online mentioned the rooms were damp, but I didn't really notice it. The air conditioning had a slightly strong musty smell, but after a while, my nose got used to it, haha! Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. Some said the service was poor, but I felt it was acceptable – not overly deferential, but certainly not dismissive either. Breakfast was decent; I think some reviews...

Stayed for three nights and was generally quite satisfied. I never opened the balcony door, so the room didn't have the humidity issues many reviews mentioned. There's a dedicated splash pad for kids, and my child had a great time.

Before my trip, I did some research and indeed saw some negative reviews online. However, several friends and family members who stayed here a few years ago all had positive things to say, so I ultimately chose this hotel. My actual experience was better and more consistent than expected. The front desk staff were friendly and patient; I didn't encounter any of the attitude problems mentioned in other...

Facilities: The water park facilities are complete, safe, and hygienic, and the rooms are clean, although there's a slight smell of renovation. Hygiene: The room hygiene is good, and the mini bathrobes provided are very cute and practical. Environment: You can't see the sea view, but it's very convenient to cross a small road to get to the beach. Service: The staff at the kids' club and water park...

We were thrilled to get a free upgrade to a two-bedroom suite in the new building! What's even better is that you can step right out onto the balcony and into the 1.2-meter deep swimming pool. It's so convenient to just hop out of the pool and take a shower. I heard this building is new, but there's no renovation smell at all. Parents, if you're thinking of coming, go for it!

Love this hotel! I really love the environment — very natural and calm. I stayed in a villa. The room looks a bit old, but it’s big and I like that it has a bathtub and direct pool access. My baby loved it! Breakfast was delicious with many varieties to choose from. I also love the kids club — very clean and well maintained. The staff named Wee (not sure if I got the name right) was very kind and...

The hotel is a bit far from the beach; you can take a car to the entrance and then walk the rest of the way.

This was a nice hotel. A little off the Main Street so it is quiet.  The hotel provides a short ride to the Main Street (very convenient.). Breakfast buffet is pretty good. Would stay again.

🌟 A Seamless and Memorable Stay Despite arriving late at night and in heavy rain, checking in was absolutely smooth and problem-free. We had reserved two connecting rooms, but we were pleasantly surprised and delighted to receive an upgrade to a spacious suite with three rooms and three bathrooms for our family. This upgrade made our entire holiday exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable. Because our...

What a beautiful modern hotel. Large King comfortable bed. Spacious wardrobe and bathroom. I enjoyed the Gym facilities, very up to date. Afterwards 20 mins in the Sauna to relax and a Thai beer at the pool bar. The staff is very polite and ofcourse very well spoken English by all of them. Apologies in advance, I'm not a very good photographer.

I booked this hotel mainly for my daughter’s birthday, drawn by the kids’ splash pool — but it was closed the entire week without any prior notice, explanation, or alternatives. This was a big letdown, as the pool was the main reason for choosing this hotel. On arrival, the lobby felt temporary and cheap, but it didn’t affect our stay. Our first room had a strong smoke smell despite a non-smoking...

The only way to describe my overall stay at Novotel is average. Upon arrival after a very long journey, the check-in took some time and the person covered a huge amount of unnecessary detail which was difficult to take in. The hotel is quite strangely laid out, requiring two lifts and some stairs to get to our room. It is also situated up a very steep road which is difficult in the Thai heat. There...

We had an overall very good stay at Novotel Kata Avista. There was one unpleasant incident during our stay which I prefer not to detail here, as it was handled professionally and elegantly by the reception team. I appreciated the way the situation was managed. Food quality was good, but in my view overpriced. If I were to return, I would choose breakfast only rather than half board. The breakfast...

Whilst we had a comfortable stay, I would not be rating this hotel 5 stars. I feel bad saying this, because we did get an amazing upgrade to the family suite, but the toilet barely flushed and the shower head would switch off if you wanted a hot shower. We had an issue with our Accor membership and the front desk staff sorted it out after a few hours - so that was excellent. The staff are lovely and...

We want to say Thank you to all the staff: at reception desk, the restaurant and bar staff, waiters and waitresses, the room maids all of whom expressed genuine attentiveness, friendliness, courtesy, always asking if we had a good day and always helpful. Plus a special thank you to chef Adam Reez who prepared a special meal for us on our last night which was delicious! And he took the time to ensure...

We spent 4 nights at Novotel Phuket Kata and had a great family experience. The resort offers plenty of activities and facilities for kids, and the beach is just a short walk away with shuttle service available. The front desk staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating with all our requests. The real star, however, was the restaurant. The chef and team prepared outstanding customized vegetarian...

Had an amazing time, beautiful resort all the staff were amazing. The resort is so so clean and the food is great. A wonderful place to relax. May was amazing and helped us all the time with things we needed. Also the Staff were so kind and lovely to be around. The shuttle bus to the beach is great as well.

Facilities: The hotel has limited facilities. I mainly stayed in the suite and didn't notice or see amenities like a gym. There was no doorman when we arrived, and the driver had to unload our luggage. Service: The breakfast selection was very limited, with only a few options, not comparable to five-star hotels in China. The restaurant staff's service was also mediocre. It was semi-buffet style, and...

Fantastic experience at the shore ! This place is a high end resort that is as close to paradise as you can get for couples. Special mention to the Thai restaurant which serves delicious and instagram-able food and the private chef dinner experience at the Kissing Point which was the highlight of our stay. Would recommend 100% and would love to go back asap !

Worth staying at least once. The scenery is absolutely stunning, though the breakfast selection isn't very extensive.

Facilities: The attention to detail is impressive, perfect for couples. I absolutely loved the heated pool. Hygiene: Clean and sanitary. Environment: The unobstructed sea view is incredibly beautiful. Service: Any issues I raised on the app were promptly addressed and resolved, which was excellent.

Excellent! They gave us the best room with an amazing view, and it was incredibly quiet – perfect for a couple's getaway. All the staff were lovely. The only downside was that breakfast wasn't great.

Everything was great – the unbeatable sea view and the incredibly warm and friendly staff.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Kata Rocks. The design is stunning, the views over the Andaman Sea are breathtaking, and the atmosphere feels effortlessly luxurious yet relaxed. The villas are immaculate, the infinity pool is one of the best I’ve experienced anywhere, and every detail feels thoughtfully considered. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout my stay,...

Truly amazed by it's location, the views and the service. What a lovely resort in Kata, by the rocks of course and got billion worth of views ❤️ amazing service, food and drinks are great. Just the road goes there is very narrow, which only one vehicle can go and they got straight away valet. Kata rocks is truly a gem.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had dinner with a stunning sunset view — absolutely beautiful, I really loved it. The food could be improved a little, but honestly, I didn’t go for a big meal. I mainly came to enjoy the view, and it was worth it! 🌅🍷

The hotel didn't have many activities for kids. Otherwise, everything was great.

Good overall, but the details still need some improvement.

The hotel's setting is quite pleasant. The living room in the 3-bedroom villa was very spacious, and the master bedroom upstairs was also large. However, the other two rooms were tiny – barely enough space to open a suitcase, and the twin beds were only 0.8 meters wide. Moreover, there was a strong, unpleasant sewer smell in the living room. One tall staff member was particularly rude and arrogant...
