A hotel in Kata, Phuket where you can step right into the sea
🏨 Beyond Kata
This hotel has mixed reviews, and many people are concerned about discrimination issues. Let me give you a fair assessment after staying there.
🌟Highlights:
It's really not common to find hotels in Phuket that have direct beach access, and considering the price, this one is almost the only choice!
Other hotels are either too expensive, not centrally located, or too far from the beach or require crossing a road, which is inconvenient for children or the elderly. The overall hotel experience is OK. If you're looking for value for money and direct access to the beach, this is a good option!
💰Average cost:
1750 for three people for two nights, the charge is per person, extra beds can be provided for more people, and the cost includes an extra bed + breakfast.
🍽Dining recommendations:
Breakfast: Mostly Western-style, with omelets made to order, the rest is quite standard and the quality is average, but it's edible; there are indoor and outdoor seating areas for breakfast, I recommend going outside earlier for a more comfortable experience, facing the sea and feeding the birds!
❤Reasons to recommend:
The location is good, there's a bus stop at the intersection, and it's about a 10-15 minute walk to Kata Night Market. There's also a small night market at the hotel entrance, and plenty of convenience stores and restaurants.
You can also buy swimming rings and water balls at the entrance, which you can take to the hotel to play with. Put on the swimming ring and go surfing in the sea at Kata, it's super fun!
Upon entering, you are greeted with a welcome drink, and there's someone to help with luggage, a small tip is appropriate!
🛏Room facilities:
The room is not damp, the air conditioning is always on to avoid any issues when opening the door, there's a small balcony but no bathtub, and a small sofa by the window which is very convenient;
I saw that the first-floor pool access rooms are very convenient, with a lawn + pool right outside, perfect for those with kids!
📝Tips:
There's a pool and a poolside bar, the hotel offers free beach loungers but you have to go early to secure a good spot. The loungers by the beach that are not owned by the hotel cost 100 baht/day, but you can use the hotel's free loungers during the day!
Go down to the beach at sunset with a beach towel to watch the sunset and take pictures. There are also stalls selling coconuts and drinks on the beach, which are cheaper than the hotel, with coconuts at 40 baht, icy cold and super refreshing!
