Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Centara Kata Resort Phuket from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Centara Kata Resort Phuket is a lush, green retreat featuring three pools, including a main pool with a slide that's popular with children. Guests appreciate the well-equipped gym, sometimes mentioning the Thai boxing class, and the good breakfast with a variety of meats and fruits. The spacious rooms, some offering direct pool access, are generally liked, though a few guests have noted the need for some updates in certain areas. It is close to markets and groceries and offers free beach transfers, although it's a 15-20 minute walk to the beach.

good stay overall

delicious breakfast helpful staff loud music faulty doors
the breakfast was great. there was a lot of food to choose from, and it tasted good (i especially liked the omelets!). the staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests we had.
our room was located near the main pool. the hotel played loud music on a speaker all day. this got annoying after a while (it was the same playlist over and over!). also, the sliding doors in our apartment didn't lock very well. i only found this out after a couple of days.

decent family stay

nice layout adult area good breakfast insect presence missing elevator
The resort had a nice layout with lots of greenery and three pools. there were separate, quieter areas designated for adults. the breakfast buffet was good with a wide selection of items to choose from. the gym was well-equipped. It included a thai boxing class.
i noticed different types of insects inside the room and bathroom. the hotel didn't have an elevator. This was inconvenient during check-out as i needed help with luggage.
