I'm not really sure where to start of how to explain this because i want to be fair. My friend and i are very seasoned Thailand travelers (2 times a year for 20 years) and had just completed a few weeks of yoga, meditation and fasting and had thought to check out Phuket - and Kata beach for a few... more

The place is cheap. The pool over cholorine. It is very close to the beach. Staff were friendly. If there is a next time I would spend a bit more. more

We arrive there because price looks good, and we paid inmediately for 3 nights.... we went to take a shower and THE WATER WAS BROWN!! Look the pic's and you'll see. We talked with the manager and he said that all the similar-price hostels don't offer water filtered... that was a lie (nowhere else the water had that colour!). We... more

My wife and I went to Kata Beach for my birthday last week. While out strolling just after arriving came across Kata Villa Hotel and Restaurant. It appeared to be a charming little place located a stones throw across the road from the beach. We were looking for simple, clean lodging with no frills, just pleasant surroundings to enjoy the... more

We moved to the Kata Villa Resort for the proximity to the beach and the pool in mid May 2009. We were a little early but our room was ready anyway, sometimes these things are beyond management control as checkout was 12md All that you have read before my post are misrepresenting the place, the manager is friendly and approachable... more

We stayed in the last week in March and the price for the room had gone down to 500 baht / night (down from 1200 baht / night). The rooms are huge. The aircon is so good I woke up freezing! There is a mini bar, television and hot water. Wifi is advertised as at the pool area but we... more

The staff at the kata villa were nice but the manager was a complete arsehole. Would not listen to anything we had to say. We tried to complain about the mould all over the balcony he just said "they are all like that". The Thai girls were all lovely but it seemed they were scared of the german manager, so... more

My friends and I booked 2 rooms from Kata Villa and we stayed there for 6 nights in Jan 2009. The price is good for a room as it has a prime location (near the the beach!) and remains good value for money even during its high season. It is a basic room and we expect nothing fancy as compared... more

Me and my girlfriend stayed at Kata Villa earlier this year, despite some problems at check in (they had only booked us for 4 nights even though we had an e-mail confirmation for seven). This however was quickly resolved and we got our room. The room itself was a little old and worn out, but the TV had 50 channels,... more
