by Shahfii Ali, Nurwahidah, Elly and Wandy Visit Date:July 1, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Our second time staying here with Kata. First time for my friends Elly and Wandy. Most impressed with deco, rooms facilities, great values for location and price, pool, and the great reception staffs and tour agency. Beach is just a 4-6min walk, great amenities around and a superb buffet breakfast! Would recommend to anyone who prefers a quieter mode than the bustle of Patong!" |

by Keith Noble Visit Date:March 19, 2010 Room: Service: Location: "Resort lived up to expectation.Was given one of only 12 poolview rooms which had a great balcony to sit out on overlooking the pool.The Hotel service was good and could not fault the receptionor cleaning staff. Had meals at the Prawn and Lobster restuarant which is where breakfast is served for the hotel. Found the food and service was great.Did not need to eat anywhere else for breakfast and tea. All in all a great location to stay with value for money." |
by Louise Sandlund Visit Date:February 24, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We can really recommend this hotel. Nice and clean rooms. Nice poolarea yet still close down to Kata Beach." |
by Michele Evelyn Rozells Visit Date:February 16, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Overall a pleasant holiday. The rooms were clean and spacious, and service was acceptable. However, I have one grouse, is the deck chairs around the pool. As the pool area is small and deck chairs are limited, guests tend to hog their deckchairs by leaving their towels, books, clothes etc, which is fine if they were going out for a quick bite and coming back within half hour. My friends and I were deprived of the deck chairs even though there were many vacant ones (but with the towels, clothes, books left behind as a kind of booking system ). We settled for a space on the floor, and the owners of the previously booked deckchairs only came back about 2-3 hours later. I think this is grossly unfair, and the hotel should limit the time the guest can book a deckchair this way." |

by Seth French Visit Date:January 17, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We spent 21 days in Thailand and this hotel was the only disappointment during our trip. We arrived one day earlier, and had a fast and easy check-in. The staff was nice, helpful, and friendly. The hotel is conveniently located 3 min away from the beach, on the street full of shops, restaurants, ATMs, and taxis. The room is rather big, clean and nice. However, once you get into your room, you see several print-outs on the table, saying how much you can be charged for damaging any of the hotel property. The list includes towels, sheets, glasses – everything, including the big mattress and lamps! Thus, you need to make sure that you don’t forget your glasses at the pool or break them – you will be charged 30 bahts and if you spot a towel or a sheet, here, you pay 100 bahts (there is a special warning about “the tattoo charge” on the bathroom door). There is a tea/coffee making facility in the room, but house keeping never replenished our coffee after our first day use, so we used it only once. The hotel is called Poolside Resort, but only 12 rooms have a pool view (6 per block), and the rest have to enjoy a breathtaking view of the roof or the kitchen of another hotel. The hotel lacks simple amenities such as a press-iron, so we had to pay ten bahts per item outside the hotel. There was no bathroom at the pool area (the nearest toilet is in your room). The shower had no pressure, so you never felt clean. You have to sign in and out to get a pool towel, too (which you can do only at the reception area). They sale wireless internet cards to use, but we could not get ours to function due to there limited IP addresses and when you buy it the reciept specifically says “no refunds”. We ended up buying a cyberpoint card and used another hotels wireless network. The restaurant is not bad and very popular, however, the breakfast menu is unexciting and non-variable. There is no night entertainment in the hotel, not even a bar. The poolside bar is open from 12 – 18.00 and has nothing there. You order it and the attendant goes to the resturant and picks it up. About a 10 minute round trip. Upon checkout, we were presented with a bill for snacks and drinks from the minibar that we never touched!!! We tried to explain that they must have us confused with another room, but they kept shaking their handwritten register in front of us, showing that we had all the drinks and snacks on the same day, when we were not even in town! The funniest thing is that the prices of the minibar items that were printed on the bill, were manually crossed and corrected for more expensive prices! They were scandaling with us, so, of course, we ended up paying for the items we never consumed. The hotel is so concerned not to incur any tourism related expenses that they totally forgot about customer satisfaction! In no way, I would recommend this hotel to any traveler, and definitely, I will never come back!" |
by Mr Cristien Bunker Visit Date:January 2, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Excellent hotel for the price. The room was better than I expected and the service was just as good. I will definately return to this hotel if I visit Kata beach in the future." |

by Yvonne Watson Visit Date:December 27, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We were very disapointed with this hotel. The most expensive and worst we have stayed in in Thailand!First room shown to was full of mosquitos and had a tiny, dark balcony which was only a few feet from a concrete wall! Hotel said they had no other rooms but miraculously found a better one after I rang Sawadee!! (upper floor with slightly better view from balcony)Pool was ok but only a few tatty plasic sun beds ...not enough for size of hotel and the only place in Thailand where the beds are covered in people s towels by 8.30am (due to lack of them?)Location good if you want to be in centre ...near bars and short walk to beach.Would not stay there again." |

Very fast and almost instant confirmation. No problems when I got to the hotel having booked only hours before, November 12, 2009 by Lorna Mary Somers Visit Date:October 28, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Very nice, budget 3 star hotel. Nice large rooms, clean and well equipped. Beds are typical Thai beds solid base and firm matress which some have complained about but which I found very comfortable. Breakfast was basic as were hotel facilities. Nice pool." |
