We stayed at the resort for a week, it was very clean but outdated and in need of repairs and upgrades. The beds were very firm and uncomfortable, and there was a bad smell in one of the bedrooms due to the air conditioner being on all the time. The breakfasts were unfortunately average and had very little fruit choices. The location was good but unfortunately the club med resort blocks easy access to the beach - however they do have their own shuttle bus. The biggest compliment is the staff they were all very nice and extremely helpful.

We had a wonderful stay! Highlights included:
- breakfast buffet which had changing hot dishes every day and omelet station
- big family style room that opened out onto the pool area
- family pool with the waterslide, as well as two other pools
- swim up bar
- kids room had a great range of toys and was always very clean and welcoming
- location is perfect!
- Thai cooking class was awesome at the resort!!
Special mentions to the staff that made our trip so magical (June at the kids centre and Mark who took awesome photos of us in the cooking class). They made our trip so restful and fun - by the end our baby had learnt to wave!!!

Great staff at hotel very friendly and helpful special thanks to Ohm Coach Joy Giff & Wan for making our visit so enjoyable. More positives than negatives points. Kids pool floor badly needs re painting. Hotel in very central position.

Location is good! But the room didn't have working a/c which is an absolute no starter. And it was not very clean. Mold in the shower, dust and stains on the walls. I would pay a little more and stay at a nicer hotel.

We'd been to Centara Kata Phuket in August 2024. Our stay was lovely and very comfortable.
We even got 1 room upgrade and the rooms were huge. Thanks to Nan at reception area. Very kind and friendly staff.
Breakfast spread was good. Thanks to Chef Ngek for taking care of Vegan & kids food and all other staff at restaurant area.
The hotel had 2 swimming pools and a kids pool area which were great.
