Sawasdee Village
"Everything about this property is beautiful- amenities, atmosphere and especially the staff. A HUGE shout out to Boy and K2. You are an asset to Sawasdee Village!"
Novotel Phuket Kata Avista Resort And Spa
"Excellent property very helpful staff highly recommended"
Chanalai Romantica Resort Kata Beach - Adults Only
"Went near the end of low season for a week and had a very good experience. Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, albeit dated. Staff were very friendly, food was very good (breakfast buffet a great value). Pool was great for lounging around and atmosphere was quiet (no kids or partiers). The gym was disappointing - cardio machines broken or not working well, just a few dumbbells and a bench, no towels or way to wipe the bench or mat. I was glad to not have a pool side room as people could swim almost right up to your sliding door and it wouldn’t feel private at all. Personal preference though. The location is close to the beach but still a bit of a walk (~8 minutes) to get around the massive Club Med across the street."
OZO Phuket
"Highly recommend if you have a family and want a nice place to relax that’s right next to the beach"
Chanalai Flora Resort, Kata Beach
"Warmly welcomed by staff, greeted with a cold flannel to wipe the sweat away and a fan put right in front of us. Kids enjoyed the pool and pool activities. Handy to beach , shops and laundry across the road. Very helpful friendly staff. So far this has been or best of 3 different hotels around phuket"

Pocket Guide: Karon Kata Hotels
A scenic beach on the southwest coast of Phuket, Kata Beach is actually two beaches that are separated by forestry terrain. It truly is a gem with an old village feeling, picturesque beach, clear water and stunning hilly backdrop. The water here is calm and great for swimming, making it a popular family destination, though from May to November it is a popular spot for surfers.
Don’t MissThe stunning 1.5km long beach and clear blue water is what Kata Beach is all about, though there are also some activities to enjoy and a few things to see.
Water lovers can go snorkelling, fishing, kayaking, windsurfing and parasailing or even hire a Hobie cat, while in the monsoon season Kata Beach is fantastic for surfing.
If you prefer to stay on land try these: hiking to the Karon Viewpoint on the northern end of the beach, playing a round of mini-golf at Dino Park, going surfing year round at Surf House Phuket or visiting the 18th century Kata Temple.
Restaurants and BarsVisitors will be pleased with the eating and drinking options at Kata Beach, which are lined along the beach and in Kata centre. You don’t even have to leave the beach to enjoy a meal, as vendors pass by selling ice cream, sandwiches, fresh fruit and other snacks. You should expect to pay more for a meal here than on other parts of the island, as they cater predominantly to tourists. For cheaper eats, head to the twice weekly Kata Fresh Market. Bars to suit all tastes line the road in Kata centre, from cool laid-back reggae bars to trendy beach clubs.
ShoppingMost of the shops in Kata Beach are geared towards tourist and sell souvenirs, handicrafts, T-shirts, beachwear and jewellery. These are all located along Kata Road and Patak Road. For more options, take a taxi to Phuket Town or Patong.
