My husband and I just got back from a fantastic 8 days at Kata Beach. Although we stayed about a 15 min. walk from the beach (at Boomerang Village Cottages that I would highly recommend), we enjoyed going to Kata Beach everyday. Kata Beach is a nice contrast between the very peaceful and deserted Karon Beach and the crazy, dirty,... more

I would definitely return to Kata. The main strip is nice and relatively relaxed ... there is a wide variety of food available ... from cheap and cheerful (pizza, thai) to more fancy (Mom Tri's, Boathouse etc) and the variety is great. We spent our time around the Kata Beach area ... there are effectively 2 areas of Kata ...... more

Kata was a really nice place to stay and were were glad we stayed there and not in Patong- which was really tacky and full of bars but I guess Patong is great if your planning to drink like a fish and party all night so if thats your scene then Kata isn't for you. The beach was nice as... more

The beach (kata) is a... more

We`ve been to Kata Beach hotel with mom in Mar, ` 06. I have never experienced such cool emotions from the hotels (I`ve been to Jumeirah hotel in Dubai several times so I know what is the 5 star hotel). I would say Kata is a 4+* hotel. We had a garden-view room so we has a great possibility to... more

Just came back from Phuket, and learned how to surf at Kata Beach... so much fun!! What a great beach. Overall Kata is a more upscale and less "crazy" than Patong - by far!! If you are not on a backpacker's budget, this is a great place to visit. I highly recommend the Sugar Palm Resort... it was very fresh... more
