Oh My GOD.
There is no way one would not fall in love with this resort. It's beautiful, the service is great, the staff's wonderful, the location is perfect especially for families. Close to the Kata Beach - not very close, but it's walkable if you like to walk.
Attaching pictures as proof of what a wonderful resort they've created and maintained. Months post our trip, we still recall how wonderful this was. The area is quite quiet, too, if that's your vibe then I highly highly recommend staying here.
Also, we're pure vegetarians, it was hard to find food here, and we'd already paid for our buffet breakfasts. We managed to make fresh fruits, cereal, pancakes & waffles our breakfast every day (for 4 days). If you are a pure vegetarian, try finding some place to eat at or carry sufficient of your own, otherwise Phuket was tough to manage in terms of food.

We stayed 6 nights at this hotel and the big family room was spacious and fine for a family of 5.
The resort is old and needs refurbishment in the main pool area. The area for small kids had damaged flooring with big open holes.
Breakfast was OK, other meals and drinks were a bit expensive compared to other locations. All in all our expectations were a little higher than what we got.
The beach is great, but shuttlebus is only every hour. Could be an easy win to go every 30min instead.

Stayed for 10 nights the rooms were really great but it was the staff that made it so special, such genuine and kind people. Restaurant staff were especially amazing special shout out too Aoy, Mark, Coach, Joy and Ohm for my making my stay here at Centara Kata Resort truly worth it.
Only thing I hope they do is consider keeping the pool open a little later.
I absolutely recommend staying at this resort and could definitely see myself staying here again in the future 😁.

We stayed at the Centara Kata Resort Phuket in Early October 2024. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this hotel to stay.
The pools were amazing and our son constantly wanted to do the rounds of the pools each day. The main pool is ideal for kids with a small slide, volley ball net and balls. Also great number of lounges for the parents to relax while watching older kids. There is also a pretty cool splash pad that little kids seemed to enjoy.
We had mucked up our booking days but the team at the front desk sorted us out with an upgraded room which was pool front and was so excellent.
The staff were amazing, our son cut himself slightly on the first day and both Aon form the activities desk and Joy were amazing at helping apply first aid and make sure he was ok. They both also came and checked up on us multiple times throughout our stay. Always saying hi when we saw them and making a big fuss over the children.
We would not hesitate to stay here again

Had a fantastic time here with my family. The service is amazing, from breakfast to dinner. The pool bars are well stocked and the staff are always on hand. Wut served us well in the quieter pool whist the staff at the main bar were equally as hospitable. A great holiday!! Decor a little tired.. everything else 10/10. Thank you Centara
