Absolutely beautiful staff and great location. Food was great in the resort and was amazing hospitality. Location great and family friendly. Only disappointing thing was had 5 guests and had to book two seperate rooms not joined. Ended up in one room with the other empty at twice the cost. The 2 bedroom wasn't available. The 1 bedroom could easily accommodate 5 guests and we had to pay for 2. It's a great option for families and the staff are amazing. The pools great for everyone. We had a lovely stay

We enjoyed our stay at Kata Palm we thought it was good value. It’s a beautiful serene setting especially the pool and the refurbished rooms are great. They are currently doing construction so you would want to check your room is away from any noise. The staff were all fantastic to deal with, especially Sutisa at the tour desk who helped with our activities. The area in Kata is near the beach and lot of great restaurants. The breakfast was fine, it changed daily and there was plenty to eat

Just Okay

Okay hotel but nothing special, the positive is the friendly staff but the hotel needs a update in general I was there 17 night's and the electricity was not working 3 of the day's and also there was no water in my room 3 other days. Every time there was a problem with either the electricity or water in my room the staff fixed it within 4-7 hours 😁 in general a okay hotel but I would find another if I should go to that area another time

We enjoyed our time at Centara Kata. The resort is getting a bit tired overall (pool area, sun loungers and some parts of rooms) but the staff was fab, the location suited us and it met our needs perfectly. The grounds were lovely and the pool options were varied and there was something for everyone in our family. I would recommend the breakfast also, delicious options that varied each day and were fresh and interesting.

Clean and well laid out property. Kid friendly which is what we were after. Looking a little run down in places like the pool and other common areas. Decent gym. AC worked so well, our room was lovely and big. Dining/pool staff were amazing, special shout out to our new friend Joy who went above and beyond for us. Overall a great family friendly place.

Hotel is nice enough with nice food etc and lovely staff. I had an ongoing problem with plumbing in my rest room which really needs addressed properly. I feel the hotel is clean etc but some areas would benefit from updating. Kata beach is a short walk.
