Hotels in Kata Beach, Phuket

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Pamookkoo. Location was perfect, walking distance to everything in Kata. Our room was clean and well equipped and my 6YO enjoyed all the water slides. Unfortunately most guests did not speak English so it was difficult to find other children to play with. The kids club was fantastic and my child was always asking to go play there. Breakfast options were plentiful and we were always able to find a seat but wow it was chaos. We would stay again.

First time staying here Location : decent , it’s a bit far from the whole busy street but they offer golf carts to bring you there . Sometimes you have a wait a bit longer for the kart to come. Hotel is pretty new so things are still ok The pool water is very cold all day long . The staff is decent and the gym room is very nice ! We had to Change rooms on the second night because there’s an awful sewer smell coming from our bathroom . This could be because we had a ground floor room with pool access so I wouldn’t recommend it . The sound insulation is **** so you can hear people flushing their toilets at night. Not much excitement from the hotel at night

This is not my first time staying at this hotel. Beautiful grounds, clean rooms, excellent service.

I recently stayed at this resort and had a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable, nice pool, gym and and game room. Delicious breakfast! The location offers beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. However, it’s worth noting that the resort is situated on a hill, which can make walking to and from the main road or nearby areas a bit challenging—especially in the heat or for those with mobility concerns. All in all, it’s a fantastic place to unwind, and I’d definitely return.

It was a fantastic stay. Fantastic area of Kata beach, it was close to all the restaurants where we could try all the thai delicacies. The breakfast was amazing! Also amazing customer service from Max, Kruad & Dew! They allowed to check-out late on our day of departure since we had a late flight back to Bangkok!

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in March 2025. First of all: if you have flexible travel dates, avoid Phuket in March — prices were absolutely insane. We paid €1,200 for two rooms, while the same rooms are available for only €530 at the end of June. Despite the high prices, I still enjoyed my stay at Aurico. The hotel is located in Kata, which is considered one of the quieter and more relaxed areas of the island. Compared to the chaos of Patong, that might be true, but ”quiet and relaxed” is not really how I would describe it. The traffic was crazy, nightlife was everywhere, it was very crowded, and the worst part: as soon as you left the hotel, there was a strong and unpleasant smell of sewage, garbage, and fecal matter. The hotel itself is situated in a small alley, well away from the street noise. Nearby, you’ll find many restaurants, shops, barbers, massage parlors, and bars. Many of the vendors actively try to attract customers. Due to the unpleasant smell, we didn’t try any of the local restaurants. Several 7-Elevens are within a 5-minute walk. The main road is also close, making it easy to catch a bus to nearby villages, beaches, and Phuket Town. The night market and bar street are about 10 minutes away on foot. Both Kata and Karon Beach can be reached within 10 minutes’ walk as well. The hotel also offers a shuttle service to Kata Beach twice a day. The hotel opened in 2019, so it’s still relatively new. Unfortunately, the furniture already shows noticeable signs of wear, and the linens, curtains, and towels should definitely be replaced. Nevertheless, the room was spacious, clean enough, and the bed was comfortable. I also liked the private balcony. The pool area is great. The pool itself is quite large, especially since some rooms have direct pool access. There’s also a whirlpool and a pool bar. The breakfast buffet was varied and delicious, with a daily changing selection. Thanks to many Chinese guests, there were tasty Chinese breakfast classics like steamed dumplings and fresh noodle soup. Additionally, there was bread and cold cuts, an egg station, pancakes, and every day some hot dishes which, in my opinion, didn’t really belong on a breakfast buffet (such as heavy meat dishes and pasta), but were still tasty. The à la carte dinner may have contributed to some of these unusual breakfast items being served as leftovers. The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly. Check-in time was quite late (after 2 PM). Most of the other guests were from Russia and China, which was interesting. I won’t comment on why many German tourists seem to prefer staying in Patong — in my opinion, a complete shithole. Fortunately, all guests at Aurico were polite and well-behaved. All in all, I enjoyed my stay at Aurico and in Kata, but overall I wasn’t very impressed by Phuket itself. It’s dirty, overcrowded, and overpriced. While Phuket is often called a tropical paradise, and the nature and weather are indeed tropical, it’s hard to fully enjoy the beauty. Too many disrespectful tourists who mistreat the locals, dirty beaches, and polluted seawater. I probably won’t return to Phuket. In the end, I was very glad not to have stayed in Patong, where the seawater turns brown from sewage being discharged into the ocean. Two recommendations: Surin Beach and Phuket Old Town.

Great location on the beach and close to restaurants  and bars. Pool is too crowded with so many sunbeds  close together you can barely get up out of your chair,  everybody is on top of each other. Breakfast is busy too!  No face washers or hand towels in bathrooms and you have to wait for your room to be cleaned to replace your pool towel. Quite old now but well maintained.

We had a lovely stay at OZO Phuket. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast had a good variety. The pool area was a highlight - complete with slides, jacuzzi, and a kids’ section. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the beach via a private access gate, and right across the street from convenience stores, restaurants, and night markets. Super convenient location for a relaxing getaway.

Our first-floor room was very convenient. Although the facilities were just average, the views were absolutely gorgeous! The sunset, in particular, was breathtaking. The front desk staff were also very friendly and helpful, assisting us with calling a taxi. Regarding breakfast, I'd suggest skipping it; the food was mediocre, and the restaurant didn't have air conditioning.

This is the right place to feel the Thailand culture with the building architecture and the decorations. Our eyes cant stop looking all the architecture. Its so amazed! ❤️ The Suite we booked very comfortable and have access to the pool from the room. Received honeymoon greetings from Sawasdee with the Swan towel on the bed 💖 all the amenities are complete and perfect. The pool very beautiful and very long. We can swim till of the end and so fun! 🥰 The breakfast so delicious! From asian food untill the western food for breakfast and nothing we can’t eat. Its so memorable and we will comeback to experience again 🥰 Thank you Sawasdee 🙏🏻
