Centara Kata Resort, Phuket

I'll definitely stay at Centara Kata again if I have a chance to revisit Phuket. Even though the hotel does not have private beach, but it's still in walking distance. The hotel is a great place for families seeking quiet getaway, and the price is not too high, especially in the low season. The staff at the front lobby greeted us with welcoming smile and she was very helpful. Overall, staying at this hotel was a good experience.

Centara Kata was a great hotel experience for us as a family. We live in North Thailand but we were looking for a nice get-away to a beach in the south. The Centara was nicely located and we had a great time. While we were there the weather and waved made it impossible for us to really enjoy Kata beach. Fortunately the pool and restaurant setting of Centara Kata still made it feel like a good vacation. The hotel was great for kids as it has a well kept play room and the pool has a slide and shallow areas for fun. The Spa was also a nice experience to take some time to relax at the hotel. The restaurant offers a variety on the menu but is more expensive than eating out of the confines of the hotel. If staying a bit longer I recommend using the laundry services out side the hotel on the facing street. It will save you a lot of money and the places we used all did a good job. Overall, a great family holiday location.

The bellhop gave us a detailed briefing on the hotel and its facilities. I was pleasantly surprised that when we got back to our room after breakfast prior to checking out, the bellhop was waiting for us to carry our luggage down (without being told). Very good initiative.
