Hotels on first line in Kata

The security guard at the parking lot entrance even saluted my child every time he saw him. After check-in, the front desk staff even took the time to show us the pool area and informed us about the opening hours

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

There was Thai rice vermicelli among the hot food, which was good enough. The hotel is massive, with at least five or six pools. I only used the one in front of my room, which was great and very convenient

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

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

The only minor issue was that the shower drain was a bit slow. I can understand why though; being so close to the beach, I brought back quite a bit of sand after swimming, so it makes sense why it might get clogged

The pool area is fantastic, warm water, plenty of sunbeds no matter the time, fresh towels for pool in room daily. Lifeguards were very vigilant. We paid extra for a pool facing "swim up" type room

The soundproofing is excellent; even though there's a kids' pool and water slide right outside, there's no noise, it's very quiet. The breakfast selection is incredibly rich

This family room was one of the few we could find at this price point. The water slide was great, but you need to wear beach socks to protect your feet

Pros: Great for family trips, kids absolutely loved the various water activities. The location is quite convenient, close to the beach, with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby

Very friendly staff, kind and welcoming. The room wasn't the cleanest, dust and sand in the corners, shower sealent needed replacing urgently

This hotel/resort is located near Kata Center (a 10-minute walk), very close to both Kata Beach and Karon Beach, but on a small hill that isolates it from the hustle and bustle of local traffic

Initially, the uphill walk back after the beach seemed like a drawback, but after a few days, we appreciated that it was cool in the evenings without needing air conditioning, and being a bit "surrounded by plants" made the setting pleasant

It's about a 15-minute walk to the street with cafes, but the uphill walk back to the hotel isn't comfortable. Taxis won't take you for 100 baht; you have to offer 200 baht for them to agree

Check-in was also an issue; they were slow. We arrived at 12 PM but only got into our room at 2:30 PM. And the room wasn't cheap; we paid 13,000 rubles per night. We stayed during peak season, January 2026

The breakfast in the morning had good food, even if it wasn't particularly international (for us Europeans, especially Italians, high-level food and wine is something else, but I must say that, staying within Southeast Asia, it was fine)

An older hotel with an excellent location, close to both Kata and Karon. However, the linens were subpar, and the water quality was terrible. I'd recommend bringing your own filter shower head.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. The pool is fantastic, especially for families with kids

The hotel's location is good, within walking distance to Kata Beach, and there are many foreign residents around

Overall, this place is exceptional for families, offering plenty of space and comfort. Breakfast was really good with a nice variety of options to start the day well

The floor-to-ceiling windows are also very comfortable. The hotel charges 249 Thai Baht per day for children's breakfast. A deposit is required upon check-in

We had a great stay with our two kids. The room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was great! The kids loved the pool area and the play room

Traveling solo, I'd really recommend this hotel. Even though the facilities are a bit old, the environment is nice and the room is very spacious. I suggest everyone book their rooms through Trip

It is marvellous that buggy service provided on request between lobby to main street. I can walk 10 minutes from main street to beach for surfing. Hotel have gentle and helpful staff. Hotel have lovely swimming pool

Love this hotel! I really love the environment — very natural and calm. The room looks a bit old, but it’s big and I like that it has a bathtub and direct pool access

The hotel graciously extended our check-out time, allowing us to fully enjoy the hotel amenities right up until the very last moment of our holiday

The staff named Wee (not sure if I got the name right) was very kind and took good care of my baby. She was lovely and my baby enjoyed it so much

We will come back again! The only small issue was there was some sand in front of the door and on the table. Even after cleaning, it still appeared, and I’m not sure where it came from

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

At the heart of Kata beach next to the night market you can find this lovely and lively hotel. With great service, nice pools and next to everything you need. Bars, restaurants, the market and the beach

The hotel's pool is very clean, and they provide unlimited beach towels. There are rinse-off facilities at the back entrance to the beach

The breakfast was delicious and varied daily, and the location was convenient. The towel service by the pool was excellent, and the front desk staff spoke Chinese, which made traveling with parents and children very easy

The rooms, dining, and pool were all great, and the pool's back exit leads directly to the beach. They even had movie nights, and I participated in a cardio session on the lawn with other guests

Hotel staff was friendly and attentive. Good location, close to the beach and a lot of restaurant & eateries within walking distance.

Excellent location: 7-Eleven and the night market are right across the street, and it's only 150 meters from the beach. The front desk staff were very welcoming and friendly

Super near to beach, within 5 minutes walking. Surrounded by famous restaurant and 7-11. Staff service is excellent. The only comment is breakfast variety is not much, can consider exclude breakfast.

But Very nice staff and breakfest was great. Location super close to kata beach and many restaurants. 5 hour taxi drive from airport so expect a long taxi ride to hotel. There’s always traffic so 1

Nice and calm. Friendly staff, nice and affordable breakfast. Clean pools and small, but comfortable gym. Like it a lot

They are very accommodating and the pools and location are fantastic

The hotel was awesome, clean and the staff were friendly. I just love how polite and respectful the staff were. Their breakfast is great and a variety to choose from. I will recommend it to everyone

Great value with great experience , considering the price i have paid , everything was perfect!!  The location between the trees among the nature was amazing 😍😍🔥🔥

The room is large and had a great sea view with some nice sunsets. However, the sound proofing is awful. There was a lot of noise coming from both the lobby and the pool area. The rooms really need a refurb

Unfortunately this was a common theme. We noticed a pool table in the lobby and I was excited to have a few games. The pool cues are broken, the table is awful and all the balls just end up at the sides

There is a shuttle bus but you need to be there at the right time. The location otherwise is good, being very close to Kata beach and lots of shops/night market

A lot of the furniture is cheap, hollow and outdated. Things are awkwardly placed as well e. to open the curtains you need to undo the curtain tie which is right below the ceiling lamp and I banged my head on it

We also only had one towel returned to us and one day they took the bath mat and we had to ask for it back! The breakfast was quite poor. There is no air con in the breakfast area or the lobby

I went to the bar and they said it doesn't work and they'll bring it over. Another 30 minutes went by and we had to go get the drink ourselves! If it doesn't work, then just remove it

If you rent a scooter, getting to the beach is incredibly fast, and it's only about a ten-minute walk. The hotel is also very, very close to a street food area where the snacks are cheap and delicious

The price of this hotel varies greatly between the off-season and peak season, but the hotel facilities are truly excellent. The rooms are laid out with a separate kitchen, living room, and bedroom

The hotel itself has three swimming pools, and the reception hall is very spacious. The breakfast in the morning is also quite good. The location is also very convenient

In the evenings, there's a lively bar street nearby. There's also a highly-rated and very clean 'The One Thai Massage' shop (Branch 1) near the hotel, which offers purely green services

You need to book your massage in advance, otherwise, you'll have to wait a long time. I recommend the 300 baht an hour option; it's very relaxing and stretches you out nicely

A very nice serviced apartment, very comfortable, with an excellent location. There's a 7-Eleven, restaurants, and a pedestrian street nearby, all within walking distance.

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

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.

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

If something is finished, there is no refill. Specially this one who puts a lot of make up on. I speak Thai but she didn’t realize I do. The other one leaves me standing talking to her and goes to pick her grab order

3/5 The hotel has two pools, they are clean and well-maintained, but the pool bar has been closed for a long time. No entertainment in the hotel. 3/5 Rooms are cleaned every day, even if you don’t want it

Housekeeping knocks loudly even with a “SLEEPing” sign. And can enter in after a one knock. Rooms have Wi-Fi, safe, fridge, aircon, TV, shower, etc. 3/5 Staff at reception are very nice and helpful

One issue is sunbeds, get down to the pool after 9am and towels left out but no one visits all day. Staff try their best to manage this but unfortunately a lot of the hotel residents were very selfish and rude

That said, I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to visit Kata beach

The hotel was very nice and we had a pleasant stay. The only downside is that we were suppose to stay in a Seaview room, but I can only call the room that we got "partial seaview" at best

Almost had to climb out to see the ocean, because we could only see the pool from inside

We noticed that our room (on the second floor, at the furthest end) was the room room that did not have an additional windows on the outside wall either

The other rooms above us had a window so that it was easier to see the sea when you're on the balcony. Felt a bit cheated and scammed

The rooms are spacious and comfortable; choosing a direct pool access room offers even more privacy. The staff are warm and attentive, the breakfast is delicious, and the spa experience is very relaxing

Great location, very good and generous breakfasts. Personal is friendly and always helpful. Nice and clean, wonderful inner yard and pool.

This hotel is perfect for a couples' getaway. The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk to Kata Beach, and surrounded by plenty of restaurants and convenience stores

The hotel itself has a peaceful and elegant ambiance. The oversized pool is beautiful and well-maintained, and enjoying a drink by the pool in the evening is incredibly romantic

Just a 7 minutes walk from the left side of the hotel entrance will take you to the main road and a 2 minutes walk from the right side will bring you to a small night market where it is quieter, easier to find a seating place and not that hot

The bellboy and the front desk staff were quite friendly and enthusiastic. My room was on the 3rd floor, in the middle section, and I was very happy with the view. It was also quite close to the beach

Really nice place to stay if visiting phuket. All the staff members are amazing, everyone very kind and they always made sure everything is ok. The hotel is at a nice location

Food is very good and very reasonable. 3 great pools, plenty of places to relax. Very easy for kids to entertain themselves. Enjoy what Centara has to offer, everything is here for you

It was a very pleasant time in this hotel. The staff is super friendly, the room was clean and there was everything we needed including mini-kitchen

Rooms are clean and the pools very well maintained

Good location near Kata night market and walking street. There are three swimming pools and hours are reasonable. The room is clean although the facilities are outdated. There are no electrical outlets near any bed side

We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway, especially if you have children. Thank you to all of the staff for making our family trip so amazing, we can’t wait to come back!

The staff are exceptional, helpful and friendly and make a real effort during your stay. It is on a hill but a regular free taxi shuttle service down into Kata is great. Would recommend this hotel in Phuket

Returned to the hotel for the second time. We were here last year. I love the villa. The view there is gorgeous.

Fantastic place to stay! Beautiful and clean, not too big, lovely pool and surroundings with a great view of kata beach and the sea. Great location and close to Kata beach

Beautiful hotel with calm and relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The resort overall was good and well maintained. The topography and layout inside the resort are very nice and give it a pleasant, peaceful vibe. However, the room did not have a window, which was a drawback

The location is not very happening and not within walking distance of shops or other places, so commuting is required. That said, the view from the resort deck was great and very relaxing

If you're going to see the public beach, there's no point staying at this hotel. Then, in the early morning, there was a mudslide that blocked the suite entrance. We had to walk through mud just to go out for food

When it comes to vacationing in Phuket, this hotel is unbeatable! It’s right next to a stunning beach—whether you’re in your room or the public areas, all you see is the sparkling blue sea

Facilities: The attention to detail is impressive, perfect for couples. I absolutely loved the heated pool. Environment: The unobstructed sea view is incredibly beautiful

The staff really need better training. Environment: The suite we were given had a terrible location; we couldn't see the sunset, only the public beach

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

Fantastic experience at the shore ! This place is a high end resort that is as close to paradise as you can get for couples

The hotel's service, room size, and overall environment truly justify the price of just over 1000 during peak season. The breakfast and pool, in particular, were absolutely fantastic

Super satisfied! Everything was fantastic except for the big slope at the entrance. They have a pool where you can sunbathe. It's a shame I only had 4 days in Phuket; I wish I could've stayed longer

The slope leading up to the hotel entrance is quite a trek, really works your legs. The private pool in the room was a nice touch, and the open-air restaurant was surprisingly good

I loved everything: the accommodations, the service, the pool, spa and especially the breakfasts! The best hotel we've ever stayed at. Thank you. We highly recommend this hotel.

Absolutely stunning hotel 200m from the sea and up to the hill with the best sea view ever

And the sea view was absolutely amazing!

The rooms with pools are amazing. The breakfasts are amazing. The best view of the Buddha and the sea.

What a great place Pool amazing specially the one getting out of ny room

Sugar Palms is a beautiful hotel. A quick 5 min walk to the beach which is amazing!!! The pools are wonderful with different bed/chair options. Breakfast has an assortment of different options

The swimming pool was spotless and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day out at the beach. I booked the room through Agoda, and the process was smooth and hassle-free

Nice clean hotel, great location, great breakfast. Only negative and it’s a negative to take into account if you have any mobility concerns is the fact that the hotel is built on a hill

At check-in, our 16-year-old was charged as an extra adult despite being declared during booking, which was disappointing. The pool access room was nice, but the pool itself is very small—more for dipping than swimming

The bed wasn’t comfortable , instead of getting a one bed I’ve got two joined together and as the mattress was suuuuuper thin as well as all blankets and pillows , I could fill the edges of two beds or my foot was stuck in between

Awesome hotel, the room was great, very comfortable bed, the hotel amenities like the pool and the gym were just so good. Located in a great location near the beautiful beach and some nice cafes and restaurants

Would be great to have ice for the guests in case someone needs it for an iced coffee or any drink

Strange that you can get an ice coffee when you order room service but can get just a cup of ice for your breakfast coffee and you have to drink it hot as if it’s not hot enough outside

The gym was super hot and two of the 4 machines were not even working

The stay was okay, though I must say the rooms are a bit old, the AC was noisy and smelly ,tv is too small and weirdly placed

The hotel is full of grass, palm trees, and greenery, it’s nice to walk around the resort and look at the mountains and nature, there are butterflies flying around, you can see the big Buddha while walking on the treadmill in the gym, the beach shuttle is Great

We love this hotel. There are lots of vegetation around the hotel. The layout of the room is great. The breakfast was wonderful. The shuttle provide the hotel to the beach was wonderful

I absolutely loved our stay at The Palmery Resort. We were greeted with attentive and smiling staff. The location is great, a 10 minute walk to Kata Beach, with plenty of restaurants on offer along the way

On arrival really impressed, however once you look closer it is well used ( which is a positive) but starting to look a bit tired

Nice hôtel. Clean, the stuff is generous. Not far from kata beach there is a free shuttle bus. Many restaurants around we really enjoy. I firmly recommend you this hotel. See you next year

It’s only 10 minutes away from the beach! Great hotel! clean! And lots of swimming pools in the hotel

Amazing. Great facilities. Must visit place! Breath taking sunset. Every villa with private infinity pool. Kata beach os only 10 min walking distance away. Definitely want to go back!

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

Kata Rocks strikes the perfect balance between modern luxury, privacy, and a peaceful escape. I would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something truly special in Phuket

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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
