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

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 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.

We stayed at Centara Kata Resort for nine nights, and loved it. The room was perfect (we had a family room - three adults and a baby). The breakfast buffet was really nice, they had different and new things each morning. The food in the evening was also really great.
We did a cooking class and absolutely loved it. The food we made was delicious and the experience was so fun! That’s a must do if you’re into Thai food.
They also have a play centre, so we could take the 8-month old baby there and there was a soft mat and toys for her to play with.
Special shout out to Mark and June! They made the whole stay really fun. June was so nice and kind with the baby in the play centre and we appreciate everyone’s hospitality. Thank you!

Family of 4, two kids 15 & 12 and this was such a great location. Kata beach was quiet enough to feel like we could give the kids some freedom but still just for things to do & places to eat. Centara was such a perfect start to our holiday, good pool, good rooms & beautiful staff.
