Good breakfast - omelette & noodle soup stations, well equipped gym, pool - slide and volley ball net = hours of entertainment for kids. No issue getting sun loungers. We went for a basic room which had a view over the pool, comfy beds & good shower. Good value for money and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at Centara Kata Resort. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always greeted us with a smile. Our room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised to receive an upgrade to a spacious family room that included a separate living room area.

The resort has three pools, and we especially enjoyed the adults-only pool, which was peaceful and quiet. The property is very family-friendly and offers something for everyone. Breakfast was decent with a variety of options.

The location is also excellent, with many restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance. We especially appreciated the complimentary shuttle service to and from the beach, which made getting around very convenient.

Overall, we had a great experience and would happily stay here again when visiting Phuket.

We see a family of 5 and had 2 rooms right next to each other with inter-joining balconies. It made life easy as we didnt have to keep knocking on each others doors could just access through the balcony. We had beautiful pool views (the pool area is an absolute highlight). Our rooms were spacious and clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Its worth paying for the buffet breakfast, one of the best we've had. We made use of the fitness centre (multiple machines were out of order which was disappointing).

Absolutely beautiful staff and great location. Food was great in the resort and was amazing hospitality. Location great and family friendly. Only disappointing thing was had 5 guests and had to book two seperate rooms not joined. Ended up in one room with the other empty at twice the cost. The 2 bedroom wasn't available. The 1 bedroom could easily accommodate 5 guests and we had to pay for 2. It's a great option for families and the staff are amazing. The pools great for everyone. We had a lovely stay

They are currently doing construction so you would want to check your room is away from any noise. The staff were all fantastic to deal with, especially Sutisa at the tour desk who helped with our activities. The area in Kata is near the beach and lot of great restaurants.

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.

We loved how family friendly this hotel was. The buffet had a kid station and the pool facilities were great as they had shallow and deep sections and a waterslide.

We were a little let down by a few things- closure of the kids splash pad (currently under construction), water turn-off dates (between 9-11am one day without notice) which meant no flushing toilets or showers for the family, and being overcharged for items at the restaurant. Having to bring up issues with staff really took away from our experience at Centara Kata.

We did like the hotel overall as it had good sized rooms, good pool facilities and lovely grounds, but the lack of communication from service staff about promotions or closures meant that we couldn't rate it higher.

Compact, kids' paradise (Great pools) and everything in the resort is accessible in 2min walk (especially from the family suites!) and the resort itself is all just 2min walk from a great selection of local and international restaurants, with the main Kata bustle another 5 minutes walk past those... plus lots of nearby laundry services (60Bht/kg), shops (t shirts, hats and bags mostly) and 5min to the supermarket. The golf course cuts EVERYTHING in Kata of from the beach, which is a real pity, but the beach is only 2 minutes in the complimentary shuttle bus or about 10min walk if you want get down there for the 9am wave machine opening time, which is highly recommended!
Speaking of recommendations; the very busy Eight Fold restaurant right at the hotel barrier does a fantastic mix of \"kid friendly\" spaghetti Bolognese and authentic Thai dishes, the pizza restaurant 200 metres up the road on the left does the best stone baked pizzas (\"better than Pizza Express\" - which is the kids' benchmark of a decent pizza) and Cafe Oh-O* in Palm Square (also <1 min away from the hotel) came out a little more pricey, but because they do really cheap, good sushi and LOTS of other stuff too, especially their cake selection.... and then another 1 min past Palm Sq is \"Lost in Phuket\" for great burgers and the best value, well cooked steak in Phuket (but no Thai food).
*Café Oh-O was fantastic for all but 1 of our visits: the normal staff were really attentive, but we had 1 bad a Tuesday lunch

The Centara Kata Resort is a great hotel with lovely, helpful and friendly staff, but I simply can't give it more stars because if you have young children, the hotel facilities are *dangerous*. :(

The main swimming pool is very appealing to children as it has a splash pad and a water slide. However - worryingly, the pool randomly changes from shallow (100cm) to deep (130cm) with no markings (other than a mosaic-style numbering which is flush with the ground beside the pool and is oriented outward, so you can't read it from inside the pool anyway. There's nothing in the pool to indicate a change in depth (some pools have different coloured tiles to indicate a depth change) and this is not helped by the irregular shape of the pool.

Our daughter loves diving under the water to grab toys from the bottom and pretending to be a mermaid. We don't make her wear a floaty if she's in her depth as she wouldnt have much fun. On our first day, we were all in the pool and she was in her depth, but was moving along the side of the pool. She got to the fake rocks by the slide and was using those to move along the pool, and none of us realised the pool had got deeper. Her hands slipped and she went straight under the water, completely submerged. Thank god my husband saw her, because i was holding our other daughter and had my back to her. He managed to grab her and pull her up. I told the receptionist, who promised to ask the GM to contact me, but he never didn't. :(

It was OK. It's looking a bit tired in places and it's not a grand beach centara but overall for the price it was OK.

A few points to raise. We indulged in the seafood buffet on a Thursday evening. Apparently \"eat as much as you can\" - this was not the case we were served 1 squid, 6 or 7 prawns when more prawns were requested we waited for 30 minutes another waitress bought a squid to our table so we asked again but they never arrived so we left.... Staff too interested in looking after large tipping guests, which is a shame.

Our child loved the pools so that kind of made up for our so called seafood buffet!

This property was very nice. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We had a garden view suite and were able to walk right out to the pool. Staff at reception were good and maintenance staff fixed our hall light which wasn't working when we checked in due to electrical issues. Our only issue was the housekeeping staff which gave inconsistent service. One day they didn't come at all and we had to phone the front desk at 5:00 and ask if we could get more water as the hotel supplies 2 bottles per day. Also towels were sometimes stained which didn't mean they weren't clean but still for an upscale place this should not happen. Pool towels were often stained as well.

As I understand the hotel will be refurbished in a year or two so that tells you about the state of the hotel for now. Maintenance was average any fittings or fixtures loose can ask for housekeeping.

What a wonderful resort and oasis from the bustling Kata Beach area. We absolutely loved this resort, from the pools to the warm and helpful staff to the incredible breakfast buffets! The rooms are spacious, lovely and quiet if you do not stay in a poolside room on the Emerald Pool. We did not stay poolside there but at the Elephant pool which was quiet. Emerald Pool has a lot of activity with families and music blaring on the speakers, which is a fun place to hang but if you are looking for a quiet afternoon nap or something, I would recommend not booking those rooms. The grounds of this resort are exceptional and so lush. The walk to the beach (there is a one-way drop off shuttle courtesy of the hotel) is not too much, you get to stroll past restaurants and shops along the way and people watch. Highly recommend this resort!

No major complaints, just not what I was expecting. Beds could be more comfortable and room insulation was not the greatest.

We recommend!!!

What could I say? It was great!!! We had an excellent time at Centara Kata Resort. My family was so happy and satisfied. The room was new and clean, the breakfast was complete, the swimming pool is beautiful, the staff was so friendly, and -finally- the price was fair. We are totally thankful to all the staff for providing us an excellent experience. Free tip: if you are going to Phi Phi, you should check more options of taxi and ferry boat before any agreement. I chose the tour company in the hotel and my bill was a little bit more expensive than the price I could pay if I looked for taxis by myself. No complains, the service was good enough, but if you're looking for \"saving money\", check it out around.

Very nice hotel - highly recommended for families.

Very nice hotel with a beautiful garden. Staff is all the time very friendly and competent.
Kata Beach is very good for children due to the beach condition.
Town has everything but more family orientated.

Family of 4 1st overseas trip altogether

Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children (11 & 8) really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were all very lovely. The cooking class was fun. The local area was quieter than Patong which was a great way to introduce our boys to Thailand we did go to Patong a few times via Tuk Tuk which didn't take too long and were easily found in close proximity to the resort. There were plenty of places to eat in and surrounding the resort. The breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of foods. We would definitely stay there again with our kids.

Good for families and close to the action.

This hotel was a great family hotel. We booked a 2 bedroom suite on the ground floor beside the Emerald pool. We loved the room, the pool and the hotel generally. It was located close to many shops, restaurants, massage, scooter hire, etc, so you don't need to travel far to get dinner or some pampering. This was our 3rd time in Phuket, once with my wife and I at the Le Meridian near Patong, once with our 3 kids in Sunwing Kamala and this time with extended family and our kids. This was our favourite location as it was practical but not our favourite hotel (Le Meridian was the winner here). But we must compare apples to apples and Le Meridian was more costly and 5 star. For the money Centara is a brilliant hotel and i highly recommend it for families wanting to relax but not be too secluded. Only thing is the breakfast options are not varied enough so within a week you find you are bored with Breakfast and a buffet is usually one the great things about a holiday. Don't get me wrong, it was good but just lacked the 5 star touch i am accustomed to when it comes to choice... Other than brekky i cannot fault the hotel.

A very nice hotel

We, a family of five, stayed there for 4 nights in 2 rooms, although not connecting ones as we requested, we were given rooms next to each others, it was convenient enough to take care of the kids at the next door. The hotel staffs were friendly and the hotel facilities, pools and fitness room, were good except the room shower for which the water was a bit weak. The big balcony with a good view of the pool refreshes our holiday mood from time to time. Parking is convenient. The buffet breakfast was great. The snack bar nearby the pool was terrific. If the pool opening hours can be extended to 9 pm or 10 pm that would make it perfect.

would come again and recommend to my friends

I stayed for 10 days, and really enjoyed the hotel. The gym was fantastic, pools were lovely, great to have towels and comfy loungers. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. They have a set of private showers below reception so you can shower later in the day after you check out. Overall very happy to stay here and would come back.

A concrete monster

Probably we were spoiled by our experience with wonderful beach hotels in Khao Lak and Krabi but this hotel came as a sobering shock.

I would rate it as two-star at most. It is a concrete monster resembling a prison in the middle of the bustling city.

Shopping in Bangkok with Glow

We have a fantastic stay with Glow, the staff were very helpful, friendly and also willing to assist with any request. The only downside was the neighbourhood but as we had come specifically to do shopping it was brilliantly situated.
