The positive things: helpful and polite staff, from cleaners, to kitchen, security and receptionists.
Multiple pools to choice from, nice to have transport service to Kata Beach.
Pleasant breakfast area, maybe a bit crowded around 9 pm.
They closed the kids pool due to renovation during our stay, which was needed due to heavy usage, but sad for the kids. The usage of the hotel is noticeable to the rooms, pool areas and gym. Our room shower didn't really have any pressure, so that was an issue if a whole family (5) needs to use a shower that also was very hot/cold sensitive if you adjust temperature, meanwhile you had good outdoor pressure in the pool showers. Dust was noticeable in the gym in the corners.
If you want 5-star you should take another hotel, but if you want an above average hotel with closeness to restaurants and other services found in Kata we recommend a stay at Kata.

Far spacious than expected and easy access to pool from living room. However, I could see aging condition

All these years Centara gave me an impression of a wonderful holiday in Thailand, until today. I was staying at Patong and due to move over to Centara Kata for the 2nd part of my holiday. However, heavy rainfall and serious flooding inundated various part of Phuket and Kata is one of the worst hit area. Just one persistent rain away from another episode of flooding waiting to happen anytime. I was driving and I cannot afford to let my car got flooded. I called in to request for refund and was bluntly turned down, reason being, as of this moment there’s no flooding and there’s no justification for refund. Come on, everyone knows it there, 30minutes of heavy rain and there you go. The damage if my car got flooded far far outweigh the risk that I’m going to take to venture into Kata at this period of time. To me, Centara really damage their own branding by refusing such request. Disappointment is an understatement. Hope this helps other in choosing their hotel with Centara in the future.

Compact, kids' paradise (Great pools) and everything in the resort is accessible in 2min walk (especially from the family suites!) and the resort itself is all just 2min walk from a great selection of local and international restaurants, with the main Kata bustle another 5 minutes walk past those... plus lots of nearby laundry services (60Bht/kg), shops (t shirts, hats and bags mostly) and 5min to the supermarket. The golf course cuts EVERYTHING in Kata of from the beach, which is a real pity, but the beach is only 2 minutes in the complimentary shuttle bus or about 10min walk if you want get down there for the 9am wave machine opening time, which is highly recommended!
Speaking of recommendations; the very busy Eight Fold restaurant right at the hotel barrier does a fantastic mix of "kid friendly" spaghetti Bolognese and authentic Thai dishes, the pizza restaurant 200 metres up the road on the left does the best stone baked pizzas ("better than Pizza Express" - which is the kids' benchmark of a decent pizza) and Cafe Oh-O* in Palm Square (also <1 min away from the hotel) came out a little more pricey, but because they do really cheap, good sushi and LOTS of other stuff too, especially their cake selection.... and then another 1 min past Palm Sq is "Lost in Phuket" for great burgers and the best value, well cooked steak in Phuket (but no Thai food).
*Café Oh-O was fantastic for all but 1 of our visits: the normal staff were really attentive, but we had 1 bad a Tuesday lunch

The Centara Kata Resort is a great hotel with lovely, helpful and friendly staff, but I simply can't give it more stars because if you have young children, the hotel facilities are *dangerous*. :(
The main swimming pool is very appealing to children as it has a splash pad and a water slide. However - worryingly, the pool randomly changes from shallow (100cm) to deep (130cm) with no markings (other than a mosaic-style numbering which is flush with the ground beside the pool and is oriented outward, so you can't read it from inside the pool anyway. There's nothing in the pool to indicate a change in depth (some pools have different coloured tiles to indicate a depth change) and this is not helped by the irregular shape of the pool.
Our daughter loves diving under the water to grab toys from the bottom and pretending to be a mermaid. We don't make her wear a floaty if she's in her depth as she wouldnt have much fun. On our first day, we were all in the pool and she was in her depth, but was moving along the side of the pool. She got to the fake rocks by the slide and was using those to move along the pool, and none of us realised the pool had got deeper. Her hands slipped and she went straight under the water, completely submerged. Thank god my husband saw her, because i was holding our other daughter and had my back to her. He managed to grab her and pull her up. I told the receptionist, who promised to ask the GM to contact me, but he never didn't. :(

I really enjoyed this sight. Once I picked up a Scooter I realized just how centralized the Kata Beach was to everything I enjoyed. Even the surf was great. Definitely going to revisit this area.

Great for families with young kids, as the main pool is shallow. Not great if you want some peace

Great stay at Centara Kata. The 2 bedroom family suite is perfect space for a family of 4, offering privacy and space to connect.
Staff great, special thanks to Nan for all your help prior to and during our stay.

It was OK. It's looking a bit tired in places and it's not a grand beach centara but overall for the price it was OK.
A few points to raise. We indulged in the seafood buffet on a Thursday evening. Apparently "eat as much as you can" - this was not the case we were served 1 squid, 6 or 7 prawns when more prawns were requested we waited for 30 minutes another waitress bought a squid to our table so we asked again but they never arrived so we left.... Staff too interested in looking after large tipping guests, which is a shame.
Our child loved the pools so that kind of made up for our so called seafood buffet!

Our stay was really great.
I can only recommend staying here when you're in Phuket. It's in the middle of Kata. The bus (which costs 100 baht) can be taken 20 meters away from the hotel and goes directly to Patong and the airport.
The multiple pools is also something that's great.
The food is excellent.
I can also only recommend to stay for the dinnershows.

This property was very nice. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We had a garden view suite and were able to walk right out to the pool. Staff at reception were good and maintenance staff fixed our hall light which wasn't working when we checked in due to electrical issues. Our only issue was the housekeeping staff which gave inconsistent service. One day they didn't come at all and we had to phone the front desk at 5:00 and ask if we could get more water as the hotel supplies 2 bottles per day. Also towels were sometimes stained which didn't mean they weren't clean but still for an upscale place this should not happen. Pool towels were often stained as well.
