Grand Kata VIP - Kata Beach

So so nice the place really have great location. Lot of good food and restaurants. Near seven eleven. Breakfast so so good also i love it. The service really nice. All the people really nice. Have a great great hospitality there. Have a big swimming pool and kids play. Near the kata beach. I will for sure comeback. Price also not expensive. Thanks Grand Kata Vip.

The service were awesome, especially the front desk guys and the trainee boy, every time when I pass by they also can call my name and knew which room number I stay, the new trainee boy always be ready to help you with his big smile, even he might can’t to handle it. Housekeeping team also great, always smile and say hello when they see you, seems like you go back home.

A Nightmare Stay: Grand in Name Only Our family's dream vacation turned into a horror story on our last night in Phuket. The so-called "Grand VIP Hotel" is anything but grand or VIP-worthy. It's a decrepit, shadowy labyrinth that will make you question your sanity and your travel choices. A Shocking Arrival As we stepped into the lobby, the air of neglect hit us like a wall. Everywhere were dull and grimy, a far cry from the glossy photos that lured us in. We knew instantly we had made a grave mistake. Filth Lurking in Every Corner Imagine your children running through corridors littered with mysterious garbage, or splashing in a pool where used, soggy towels lay forgotten. The elevator hall welcomes you with more rubbish – a grim reminder of the hotel's true nature. The Unseen Horrors If the visible areas are this neglected, one can only shudder at the thought of what lurks in the shadows. The unthinkable filth and potential health hazards for your loved ones. Staff Indifference: The Final Straw When confronted, the staff's nonchalant reaction was perhaps the most chilling aspect. Their blank stares and shrugs spoke volumes – this squalor is their status quo, and your family's comfort is the least of their concerns. A Plea to Fellow Travelers Parents, I implore you: don't subject your children to this travesty. What was meant to be our final, blissful night in paradise became a race to escape. We checked out immediately, unwilling to spend a single moment longer in this deceptive establishment. Save yourselves the anguish, protect your hard-earned money, and preserve your precious family memories. The Grand VIP Hotel is a mirage in the desert of disappointment. Book elsewhere and keep your vacation dreams intact.

Great location for families. It is close to the night market and lots of restaurants. Kara Beach is only a 10 minute walk away and is a very nice beach for swimming.

Tom was clean, staff was kind, location was good, and restraint in the nearby sister hotel was great!

Positives: • Helpful staff • Very clean hotel • Big rooms (apartment style room made for a much more enjoyable and comfortable trip) • Good AC in room • Good shower (pressure & temperature) • Great pool • Functional gym Negatives: • Views from the room not great (building site and trash) • 3000 baht deposit required on check-in (annoying to have that amount of Thai cash moments before going to the airport on departure) • Wifi - The wifi speed is fantastic. However, a huge problem that caused me endless grief was that the wifi disconnects every time you stop using a device or after about 2 hours of constant usage. As someone who was working from the hotel (online meetings etc), this was a big problem. Especially when on 3 occasions over the week I was there, the wifi code “expired”, meaning I had to call reception to get the new one. During an online business meeting, this was not ideal. Seems completely unnecessary to have this system in place considering the hassle it puts on guests, albeit some more than others. Just have a normal wifi connection? Overall, as a frequent traveler to Phuket - this was probably my favourite hotel that I’ve stayed in for around the $50 per night range.
