Had a wonderful stay here! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they really can’t do enough for you. The pool area is lovely and relaxing, with a great pool bar for drinks and food. Location is great, close to all the main attractions. The suite we had was spotless. There were 2 massive double bedrooms, both with spacious en-suite and a lovely kitchen / diner and lounge area. There was a huge balcony running across the whole suite, it was fantastic. The restaurant offered a great selection of tasty food. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer, it was like having your own apartment. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic stay at Centara Kata Resort Phuket! The entire crew was welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. Joy and Aay were incredibly nice and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The hotel itself was beautiful, with stunning pools that were perfect for relaxing. The location was also ideal—right in the center, close to shops and just a short walk to the beach. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely return!

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.

Dear Coach, Ohm Wan Haris. And chefs🧑🏼🍳 We would like to thank you for a wonderful 11 days. The food has been outstanding. Coach the food service you have given Emily and myself is unbelievable, we will never forget it. your friendly face welcomed us all the time and it was so good to see you!
You have made our holiday one to never forget.Thank you for the beautiful drinks that you served Emily the last couple nights she has enjoyed them immensely🍹 To watch her eyes light up when you brought it over to her is something I will never forget.

Not a luxurious hotel as claimed. Old and out of dated hotel, need renovation.
Book a Family Room Pool Access and got complimentary upgrade to a Two-Bedroom Family Suite. Not so sure if the upgrade is good as room was located on the ground floor, right next to the restaurant, so there is a NO VIEW ROOM. (Room 5101).
Room needs a renovation as room itself and furniture and kitchen are so old. Microwave is so old and its color turn to yellow. Kitchenware as well as glasses are not clean. Lights are very dimmed and has yellow toned light bulbs. Bathroom floor was clogged, not drained properly. Could not wash my hair nor take a shower too long; otherwise, the floor would be flooded.
Room looks like as advertised but not as bright and new as in the picture.
Location is good as it is close to markets, restaurants and stores.
Breakfast has a variety but Thai food tasted so bad.
