Staff were wonderful and very accommodating I was able to have a late check out which was helpful. Food was incredible next time I will need to get a cooking lesson.
Loved every moment of our stay here. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, great for children and families. Brilliant cocktails and food as well as close to all local attractions. We will be back!
A great hotel to families. Good location (to beach you need to walk about 800m), everything is near and staff was amazing!
Breakfast was also really good. We dont have nothing bad to say about this hotel.
Property is old and needs maintenance
Pool area needs urgent repairs.Broken tiles ,Algae ,cracked slides etc

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.
Only stayed one night. Nice facility. Good location.

Nice Stay
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.
We stayed for 5 awesome days. Awesome location, and the facilities had everything we needed/expected and clean. Decent gym/fitness centre too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will stay again if we ever visit Kata again.
We got upgraded to a great size room close to the pool. Helpful and friendly staff.

Great stay at Centara Kata. The 2 bedroom family suite is perfect space for a family of 4, offering privacy and space to connect.
Staff great, special thanks to Nan for all your help prior to and during our stay.

I really enjoyed this sight. Once I picked up a Scooter I realized just how centralized the Kata Beach was to everything I enjoyed. Even the surf was great. Definitely going to revisit this area.

Great for families with young kids, as the main pool is shallow. Not great if you want some peace
Thanks for a wonderful stay, we stayed for 8 days and enjoyed very much. Easy walk to everything we needed.

Room was big but the AC was garbage. We were uncomfortably hot the whole time. Everything was dusty and there was mold all over the bathroom and everything smelled like mold, even the tissues. The location is good, not too far of a walk to Kata Beach. Would not stay here again.
