Rico's is about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach, and there are plenty of restaurants, 7-Elevens and markets near by. Personally, I think Kata is the best of the beaches for anyone over the age of 21, so this hotel is in a great location. The hotel staff were very helpful, once you asked for help, but... More

We have stayed at Rico's numerous times but my fiance had her engagement ring stolen this time, so we moved out. It was our fault because the ring wasn't left in the safety box, the police came but didn't interrogate the maid who we suspected, we were not happy with the effort from the management so best to move to...

The room was very basic , nothing fancy. There was complimentary bottles of water replenished everyday. The sheets were clean and towels were replaced everyday.... More

From the other reviews, I knew to expect bare bones, but this is not what I had in mind. I found the front desk staff to be rude. We encountered 2 different women during our stay, both sarcastic, not typical of the friendly Thais. When we arrived, we asked if one woman could recommend a restaurant close by. She recommended...
