Utopia Kata
Utopia Kata"We had a great experience in this hotel. Staff was so friendly and they knew what they were doing. But be carful when you about to reserve and precise what room would you like to have. When I was booking I thought we will get on ground floor with a direct access to swimming pool as we are going to travel with 2,5 years old baby but when we get there we have been told that we are on the 2nd floor. Otherwise we had amazing time."

Mandarava Resort and Spa Karon Beach
"could not recommend enough! phenomenal service, wonderful rooms, clean, great food all around, a bit further out but still deffo worth it!"

Avista Grande Phuket Karon - MGallery

The Shore at Katathani
"Amazing resort"
Novotel Phuket Kata Avista Resort And Spa
"Overall Great Hospitality, But Operational & Dining Shortfalls Need Attention We appreciated the team's hospitality during our stay. The staff were polite, professional, and always greeted us with a smile. The pre-arrival check for special occasions was a thoughtful touch, and the room's birthday decoration with a complimentary cake was lovely. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, with excellent variety served late into the morning. However, several areas need management's attention: Allergen Diligence: Despite providing dietary restrictions pre-arrival, we had to remind staff of our allergies with every order. This should be logged against the room number for seamless care. Half-Board Dining: Food quality was high, but the ร la carte menu was too limited for a half-board stay. We ran out of options and expected a buffet or 3-course meal instead of 2 courses. Facilities & Excursions: Restricting playroom access to 1 hour daily was overly rigid. Hotel excursion prices were also heavily marked up compared to local high-street rates. Major Issue: We experienced a 4-to-5-hour blackout during peak evening hours. While management cited a public grid failure, a reputable chain like Novotel should have proper backup generators to prevent such severe disruptions. We hope this feedback helps refine the guest experience."
