Grand Kata VIP - Kata Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Omg!!! What a CUTE hotel!!! We got the room with the pool inside and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it! Our itinerary was jam packed with activities, so it was nice to come home and relax in the pool. Not to mention it had an Instagrammable flower back drop! Staff was amazing and so helpful. Location was great, near a night market filled with delicious food, and great shopping! Short walk to the beach. I will DEFINITELY be back. LOVED it!!!"

"Good central hotel, friendly and attentive service."

The Palmery Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff were lovely, they were all super nice and helpful. The room we stayed in was a suite. It was a little old and dated but very clean. The bed was very firm. I think if we stayed again we would get a deluxe room because they are much newer and look a lot nicer. The pool was nice but there were a bunch of tiles missing in one spot on the floor. The food at breakfast was very good and the chef making eggs was awesome he made the best eggs. The bell boy was very helpful taking bags to and from our room. Over all we really enjoyed our stay here and the couple little things would not stop us from returning. We would recommend this place to anyone. The price and the service and cleanliness was very good. Thank you. Kab khan krab"
