We paid $130/night for a "deluxe pool access" room. This "deluxe" room is actually a damp, smelly concrete bunker with a rock hard bed, very limited natural light and dim, poorly placed lighting with absurdly located on/off switches. Breakfast was beyond atrocious, with a bizarre repeat-loop of oriental string muzak to accompany. Have never seen such a poor breakfast buffet... More

I only have the Karon Sea Sands Hotel to compare this to in Phuket so will use that as a benchmark as it is not far away but slightly higher priced. Kata Palm Resort & Spa has 2 great pools. if any criticism it is that sometimes the water is too warm. They are in well lit areas throughout the... More

Stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in April 2011. If you book this hotel make sure you spoil yourself with a pool access room. Kata Beach is a quieter location than Patong but only a 10 minute tuk tuk ride costing 300 baht ($9). Kata Beach still has plenty of restaurants and shops. The breakfasts are adequate, the usual...

We have just spent 11 nights at this resort from 8th April through to 19th April. We travelled with our teenage daughters 15 and 18. This resort is slightly dated upon first impressions but it was very clean. We had two pool access rooms (as they were quite cheap at this time of year). I would highley recommend these rooms....

Here are a few positives before I get stuck into the things that irked us: Positives - Pool Access Room (with air con and a great bathroom) - Swimming pools - Swim up bar - Nice reception area - Central location - lots of shops, restaurants, bars within easy reach. - Kata Beach within 5-10 minute walk. Lovely sand and... More

We stayed for 9 nights and were most impressed by the larger pool area. It has a wonderfully complex layout that makes it feel like 4 or 5 separate pools, all covered with awesome tropical vegetation. Wading around it waist-deep made me feel like Humphrey Bogart in the movie "African Queen" -minus the leeches though! This means it kept hanging... More

Hello, I checked out from the Kata Palm Resort on 12th April 2012, I left my doughter's favorite toy - grey mouse - in the hotel room. I realized that during my way to the airport and I wrote an email to the hotel maybe 1 hour after I left. Unfortunateley the staff is not helpful, although I've already written... More

The pool in this hotel is outstanding. It is so long - I thought the photos must have been taken with a tricky lens - but it's even more amazing in real life. This hotel has a lovely atmosphere from the moment you walk in. It is great value for money in every aspect. The room was great, breakfast great... More

The staff here was great. I got a great deal on this hotel right from their website. I believe around $50 USD in September. They gave me a great room just a few steps from the pool. The bathroom was huge and so was the bed. Breakfast is included and there was a large selection of items. Staff was extremely... More
