Great location near to the beach and easy to get around locally on foot. All excursions pick up from here too, not far from local ports to see Phi Phi islands etc.
Good food, nice staff and big rooms

The check-in/out was quick and efficient. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed for three nights and really appreciated the direct pool access our room had. The breakfast was average. The property is within a short walk to restaurants, shopping, beach….etc. We had a nice time at the Kata Palm and would stay here again.

Food was average. Very sparse breakfast. Lunch was ordered with express request not to have onions (allergy), including in Thai; however, it arrived with copious amounts of onions. Check in quite slow, but friendly staff. Rooms clean, but bed traditionally Thai rock hard.

as far as accommodations in Kata Beach, it is a great value. it's only a short walk to the beach and it has plenty of parking which parking is hard to find in Kata. 15 minute taxi ride to Patong Beach. very family friendly and not crowded like Patong Beach. definitely better for families.

Great location — quiet, safe and an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. Excellent value for accommodation and food. The pool area was fantastic and we appreciated the complimentary water. Wish we’d known about the swim-out rooms beforehand — they look incredible (next time)
The resort is very large, so there’s a fair bit of walking if your room is at the back. The room was large & clean. The bed and pillows weren’t comfortable initially but were fixed quickly. Breakfast was disappointing to me, but the others thought it fine. While staff were friendly overall, they weren’t as warm as other places we stayed.
We all agreed Kata is the best area to stay in & we do recommend this resort.

We loved our stay at Kata palm resort. Three awesome pools. Breakfast had many options. We were able to walk to most shops we needed. The staff were lovely.
We had originally booked into the royal blue wing, however it is quite a walk to the restaurants and the street, so we moved closer in, the staff facilitated the move with grace.
We would stay here again

We recommend paying the extra for the pool access room which was nice.
The pool is massive though on the cooler side compared to other pools in Thailand.
We were able to check in early, which was appreciated.
There are many food options nearby and the buffet breakfast was fine.

Kata Palm is real relaxing with an amazing pool. The staff is friendly and attentive. The hotel is located 10min from the beach. The breakfast buffet has a wide spread on food (Thai and Continental). The street in front of the hotel is busy with tourist, shopping and restaurants.
