We were a group of 7 staying for 5 nights in Kata Palm in Feb 2012. It was still the bussiest season therefore the hotel was quite expensive for what i've heard of thailand - 120$ / room / night incl breakfast. 1. Kata Beach. The beach was dissapointing for us. As we were the first time in thailand, we... More

Stayed for 3 nights. Good breakfast, good location within 10 min walk to the beach, clean and helpful staff . More

Stayed 2 nights in December 2012 with wife and kids. Not a bad location- just the huge Club Med resort between you and the beach. Problem was the room and the staff. Very average rooms, somewhat rundown facilities, and surly staff. Maybe everybody was tired because of the busy tourist season, but no excuse for very sour demeanour from the... More

We booked a deluxe room which was lovely. The Reception check in is a very slow process. Once we got our keys we ended up taking our own bags to the room - didn't know how long the porter would be! We only used the pool once which was lovely and the pool bar made great cocktails but we tended... More

I can only assume that the people who have rated this place well have not compared it with some of the lovely hotels in Phuket or have different levels of acceptance. We spent two weeks on holiday in Phuket and decided to spend three nights each at four different hotels on the island. This is my fourth trip here, so... More

The strong point here is that it’s a value for money - you get what you pay for, no high expectations please. Don’t even try to compare it with 4* resorts of the Caribbean or alike it won’t match (guess star ratings also have local flavors). It’s good unless you are not planning to spend there too much time, using... More

My son and a friend stayed at the Kata Palm Resort in Nov 2010 for 10 nights (yes I am a bit late posting this) in a Pool Access room. Perfect choice especially for my son, who was in and out of the water at all times of the day. I was able to enjoy our lovely sun lounge on... More

I've just come back from a 5 days stay at this resort. I would not rate it as a4* resort. The good thing about this place is that it's in a very good location. when you are at the reception checking in, there is no smile of welcome from the receptionist and they are not accomadating at all. They could... More

This hotel is a classic case of buyer's beware. Kata Palm is a very Thai hotel - rooms are clean, lots of ornate carvings over your bed and touristy buffets 2 nights a week with local performances. It has a nice pool. But, the service here is no where near a 4 star vote on tripadvisor. "Free shuttles to the... More
