Arrived late to a cloud of mosquitos in the room. Beds are hard and uncomfortable and we were absolutely eaten alive while there. Food was average. Shower temp was mostly cold and occasionally warm. Had to request basic amenities, drinking glasses weren't washed and returned. Simpy rinsed and left in the bathroom to dry. Location was fantastic, recommend dining at Eightfold and massage at Bejamas. Wouldn't return.

Although it was start of the rainy season, we had very good time for first 5 days, the last two days just rained very heavy during daytime. It was still 30 degrees, had a chill out time by the pool, breakfast was normal, same every day, we found it was a bit expensive to eat out, prices were up every where, room & service was ok. Staff very nice & helpful. Some places outside was a struggle as they did not understand English, but managed ok. Our room was right at the back of the hotel, was a bit of a walk from the main reception. Overall it was ok, we would not be in a hurry to return again. Thank you Centara for your service.

We booked a week long package through Jetstar Australia for only $600 pp inclusive of flights and accommodation. Given that price, we were dubious about the accommodation. I am quite OCD when it comes to hotel accommodation and I tend to scroll through countless TripAdvisor and YouTube reviews. Overall the reviews were favourable concerning Centara. I found it difficult to get a good understanding of its proximity to the things I enjoy, which is the beach, good authentic Thai food and clean no sex massage shops. In this review I want to make it clear all the above is within easy walking distance. Except good authentic Thai food. The food at the markets up the road is not good. We did not try dinner at the hotel. We wish we had as it looked much better than what we found in our quest for great authentic Thai dishes. We hired a bike for 200 baht per day and added to our experience by riding to several other locations in Phuket. Parking for the bike is available at Centara. We had intended to move from Centara to another hotel upon arrival due to proximity if it was too far or not nice. On both accounts we became more than satisfied with Centara. We have travelled the world extensively and as my partner is Thai we have also travelled Thailand. However we had not been to Phuket for many years. The staff at Centara are unlike any hotel staff I have encountered before. They become like family or friends. They are empowered by their management to be themselves so you get to meet the many personalities that make up the staff. They feel confident to get in and get to know you. Nothing is a bother. They are just so helpful. Especially Nan on the front desk. The only downside to the hotel is it is in need of a renovation. That does not detract from its cleanliness or the way it is maintained. COVID-19 would push budgets to renovate back years I could imagine. With a renovation this hotel would be stunning. That aside it is stunning based alone on its staff

Overall, we really liked our stay at Centara Kata Resort. The staff were very attentive and friendly and always had a smile on their faces. It is a very convenient location, close to shops, restaurants, spas etc. The complimentary shuttle service to Kata Beach is also very useful. There were a few issues with our room (a/c leaking etc) but they were generally attentive to fix. Our main issue with the hotel was we stayed in Block J (Rooms 9000+) which backed onto a busy road and was parallel to the busy club behind where they played live music from 7pm-11pm. This bothered us a little, as we would have preferred a quieter room (which I'm sure there are plenty of at the other end of the resort) Overall, it was a great place to base ourselves in Kata.

Incredibly friendly staff, great accommodation, we loved every minute of our stay at Centara Kata. We stayed for a week and didn't do much other than enjoy the pools. The included breakfast was absolutely fabulous, there was something for everyone, we enjoyed it very much. The beds were a little firm for our liking, but good. The bathroom could do with a good scrub, but it was still cleaned daily so it didn't bother us.

The hotel has complete facilities, very clean, if it is better, the furniture should be changed to be modern. Accommodation with a swimming pool is suitable for families and with children. Breakfast and other meals are very diverse and delicious. All staff, housekeepers, security guards are very friendly. Special thanks to Khun Pond for helping make Puket Trip go well. Arnut
