The breakfast buffet had a lot of options though the food was not that tasty. There is an egg station and the eggs cooked to order were delicious.
The property is in need of repairs due to getting older. 2 out of he 3 pools are nice.
We see a family of 5 and had 2 rooms right next to each other with inter-joining balconies. It made life easy as we didnt have to keep knocking on each others doors could just access through the balcony. We had beautiful pool views (the pool area is an absolute highlight). Our rooms were spacious and clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Its worth paying for the buffet breakfast, one of the best we've had. We made use of the fitness centre (multiple machines were out of order which was disappointing).
Staff were wonderful and very accommodating I was able to have a late check out which was helpful. Food was incredible next time I will need to get a cooking lesson.
Loved every moment of our stay here. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, great for children and families. Brilliant cocktails and food as well as close to all local attractions. We will be back!
A great hotel to families. Good location (to beach you need to walk about 800m), everything is near and staff was amazing!
Breakfast was also really good. We dont have nothing bad to say about this hotel.
We enjoyed our stay at Kata Palm we thought it was good value. It’s a beautiful serene setting especially the pool and the refurbished rooms are great. They are currently doing construction so you would want to check your room is away from any noise. The staff were all fantastic to deal with, especially Sutisa at the tour desk who helped with our activities. The area in Kata is near the beach and lot of great restaurants.
The breakfast was fine, it changed daily and there was plenty to eat
I love the resort and how it had everything we needed. The pool areas were awesome and the dining options were also great. The room was massive and suited our needs. All the staff were friendly. No complaints at all
We stayed for 5 awesome days. Awesome location, and the facilities had everything we needed/expected and clean. Decent gym/fitness centre too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will stay again if we ever visit Kata again.

Great stay at Centara Kata. The 2 bedroom family suite is perfect space for a family of 4, offering privacy and space to connect.
Staff great, special thanks to Nan for all your help prior to and during our stay.

We enjoyed our time at Centara Kata. The resort is getting a bit tired overall (pool area, sun loungers and some parts of rooms) but the staff was fab, the location suited us and it met our needs perfectly. The grounds were lovely and the pool options were varied and there was something for everyone in our family. I would recommend the breakfast also, delicious options that varied each day and were fresh and interesting.
This was a very nice place to stay. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Very close and central with nice pools. I'll come back.

I really enjoyed this sight. Once I picked up a Scooter I realized just how centralized the Kata Beach was to everything I enjoyed. Even the surf was great. Definitely going to revisit this area.

Nice Stay
Hotel is nice enough with nice food etc and lovely staff. I had an ongoing problem with plumbing in my rest room which really needs addressed properly.
I feel the hotel is clean etc but some areas would benefit from updating.
Kata beach is a short walk.

Great for families with young kids, as the main pool is shallow. Not great if you want some peace
