"I just want to say THANK YOU for a wonderful stay at Sawasdee Village!
From the moment you arrive until the time you leave, the entire team does everything they can to make you feel welcomed and pampered. The hotel is absolutely spectacular—from the beautiful pools to the stunning rooms. Every member of the staff genuinely cares about their guests and goes above and beyond to make you feel special. Whether it's the restaurant staff, the front desk team, or even the person who greets you at the entrance, everyone is incredibly kind and attentive.
My only comment is that our room had some ants downstairs where my mom and son were sleeping. I understand that the hotel is surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens and water, and the ants were probably coming in from outside. We loved the natural setting, but it was a little unpleasant to find them on the mattress.
Other than that, our stay was truly exceptional, and we can't wait to come back. Thank you again for making our vacation so memorable!"
"Our stay at Grand Kata VIP exceeded every expectation and was one of the highlights of our first trip to Thailand. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and treated us like valued guests rather than just another reservation.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible team. Every staff member was warm, professional, and always willing to go above and beyond to accommodate our family. Whether it was answering questions, helping with transportation, offering local recommendations, or making sure everything was perfect during our stay, nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel completely at home.
The hotel itself was beautiful, comfortable, and in a fantastic location, making it easy to enjoy everything Kata has to offer. After long days exploring Phuket, it was the perfect place to relax.
This was our first visit to Thailand, and Grand Kata VIP played a huge part in making it such an unforgettable experience. We will absolutely be returning, and we highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality. Thank you to the entire team for making our vacation so special—we can’t wait to come back!"
"Great hotel for family traveling with kids. We should’ve splurged for the swim in suites. The suites was spacious for family of 4. Amenities included flip flops, swim towels. Breakfast buffet had a lot of options for kids and adults. Adult only pool is 12+ and faces the beach. The beach was spectacular, water was warm, clean and clear"
"My family and I stayed for two weeks at this beautiful hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. The pool is gorgeous. They had fire shows (about 15 min) on certain nights that were fun to watch. As with any restaurant that is part of a hotel, be prepared to spend. The food is great though. My kids (ages 8&4) had an amazing time. Although I wouldn’t say the resort is geared towards kids, it is still kid friendly. They have a kids center where my children would enjoy going to. Overall my trip was nothing short of amazing and having a comfortable and safe place to sleep made it all the better."
Chanalai Romantica Resort Kata Beach - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"Balconies without full sun, great location, clean, modern, spacious rooms, fantastic room service menu, exceptionally relaxed and peaceful without kids.
There name says it all if you're looking for somewhere that it really can be just the two of you in peace and tranquillity.
Your your hosts are an outstanding team of genuinely lovely people that go the extra mile to try and ensure you have the best possible stay and everything you need.
