Centara Kata Resort

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An unforgettable stay at Centara Kata Beach Resort From the moment we arrived, our experience at Centara Kata Beach Resort has been nothing short of outstanding. The hotel itself is beautiful – perfectly located just a short walk from the beach, with spacious, comfortable rooms and wonderful facilities for families. What truly makes this resort stand out, however, is the incredible team. Every single day, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, cared for, and relaxed. They are warm, genuine, and always ready with a smile. We especially want to mention Gift, Coach, Waiporn, Mark, Moy, Aoy, Wut, and Gars, who each made every day so brilliant and memorable for us. The food deserves a special mention – every day, the Thai dishes prepared by Chef Ngah were some of the best we have tasted anywhere in Thailand, full of authentic flavours and beautifully presented. Dining here was a highlight of our stay. The housekeeping team was also consistently wonderful – kind, attentive, and thoughtful every single day. Our rooms were always spotless and comfortable, and their kindness shone through. A special mention to Ni, whose attention to detail and warm nature really stood out. The bar team deserves a huge thank you as well. Haris and Ohm kept us smiling with their brilliant service and amazing cocktails (all day long – because let’s face it, holiday day-drinking doesn’t count, right?). Joy, the wonderful Beverage Manager, and Klu also brought such great energy and hospitality, making every visit to the bar a joy in itself. And of course, the Friday DJ deserves a shout-out too – bringing music, fun, and energy that inspired everyone to join in and really made the night unforgettable. Overall, Centara Kata Beach is more than just a hotel – it’s a place where you’re looked after every single day, where the team becomes part of your holiday memories. We left with full hearts, smiling faces, and unforgettable moments, and we absolutely cannot wait to return. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for an exceptional stay in Kata Beach

We had the absolute best time at Centara Kata, it totally exceeded our expectations. It’s a really lovely hotel, it feels way more upmarket than you would expect from the online pics (which honestly don’t do it justice). The location is great, lots of nearby shops and restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Since we booked directly through their website, we got a better deal and we were upgraded to a family apartment with direct pool access, which was great. The pool was fantastic, with a huge slide, and a kids area, a volleyball net, we spent hours there. The buffet breakfast was delicious with lots of Asian and western options, eggs made on request, bacon, even smoked salmon (which costs a fortune here in Australia), lots of tasty pastries and even a separate kid breakfast area. The staff were fantastic, from the front desk, to the pool area, everyone was very helpful and professional, and just lovely. We were very impressed and are looking forward to coming back. Thanks so much!

We stayed at Centara Kata for 7 nights and had a fantastic experience. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a One Bedroom Suite, which offered plenty of space for our family of four (2 adults and 2 children). The room was clean and comfortable, with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool area—a great spot to relax. The pool area was a hit with the kids, especially the waterslide, which kept them entertained for hours. The adults appreciated the swim-up bar and the daily happy hour at 4pm, which was a nice touch. One of the highlights of the stay was the Friday foam party—fun for both kids and adults, and a memorable experience for everyone. The breakfast buffet was another standout. It was well-stocked with a wide variety of tasty options to suit all tastes, making for a great start to each day. A special mention goes to the wonderful staff members Aoy, Wut, and Kla, who went out of their way to make our daughter’s birthday extra special on our final day by singing "Happy Birthday" and presenting her with a delicious cake. It was a thoughtful gesture that truly meant a lot to our family. The only minor drawbacks were the shower temperature, which tended to fluctuate between cool and hot, and a stiff bathroom door that was a little tricky to close. However, these were small issues in what was otherwise a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend Centara Kata to families looking for a fun, relaxing holiday with great service and amenities.

We finally found the open, spacious family room we were looking for in Phuket, and it made our stay very comfortable. The resort itself is cozy and well-located in Kata, just a short walk to the beach. The surroundings were convenient with easy access to local massage parlors, shops, eateries, and transport. The resort had daily activities lined up for kids, which kept them happily engaged. There are two pools, one of which is more child-friendly with a slide and was always lively with kids. Rooms also come with a mini in-house kitchen for anyone who prefers cooking. Housekeeping is on request, which worked fine for us. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, though we faced two setbacks: 1. Food options were limited to Thai and continental — no Indian or vegetarian options were available 2. The shower design caused water to spray across the entire bathroom and, if not careful, even flow into the bedroom. Aside from these, the staff were friendly and very helpful, making the experience enjoyable.
