Grand Kata VIP - Kata Beach

Grand Kata VIP is an excellent base particularly for big family groups. The hotel is clean and well maintained, has a number of pools that can be accessed and is a close walk to the beach, markets and convenience stores.

A very decent breakfast buffet and the bar staff made excellent cocktails for us by the pool.

Now the quirks - the sliding door latches can be a little challenging to get into the locked position and the kitchenette, while well appointed could use a cutting board and a sharp knife so that the delicious fruit you buy at the market can be prepared.

The highlight is the staff, the are pleasant, helpful and provide great advice- there is no greater asset for a hotel than their staff and Grand Kata VIP win because of their staff.

Stayed at Grand Kata for 3 weeks (4 adults and a 3 year old)
We had the 3 bedroom (single level not duplex) which was massive. Would recommend that room for anyone traveling with families that wants space.
Only issue is the windows in the rooms are not soundproof so you get a lot of outside noise from scooters etc. was ok with earplugs though. Used white noise so the noise wouldn’t wake up my son.
Pools were not bad, ground floor ones better than 5th floor. You can also use the pool next door at wekata so it gives some variety.
My son liked the kids club although it’s a little small
Location is excellent to be able to walk to get food, massages, night market, bars etc
Only downfall was the breakfast. It was so repetitive every day. For a 3 week stay it does get a bit much with the same options every day. Only one or two hot dishes were rotated but the rest was the same every day. If you want pork bacon you need to ask at the egg counter which is fine. Found that to be the case at most hotels nowadays.
WiFi signal is good however it logs you out very often which is a pain.

Would stay again for the price, location and rooms

Everything was perfect! The hotel is great, there are three big pools. At night there is live music downstairs. The breakfast was good, very friendly staff. The room is spacious with everything that you might need. The neighborhood is wonderful, close to a night market, walking distance to the beach, plus they offer a free transfer to if you don’t want to walk. Again, every interaction that we had with the staff was positive. I had an issue with my grab and the girls at reception came out to help me out and they did not leave until the problem was solved, which took around half an hour. They were so patient and kind. Ao and Suay, thank you so much! You are both amazing!

Our second stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. Opting for a poolside room proved to be an excellent choice, especially with a baby. The room was not only comfortable but also offered a refreshing view, creating a perfect environment for relaxation.

The real highlight, however, was the incredibly warm and friendly staff. Jib and Piin went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the ever-smiling restaurant staff added a delightful charm to our dining experiences. The genuine sweetness of the personnel, combined with the family-friendly amenities, made this stay truly memorable. We can't express our gratitude enough and eagerly anticipate our next visit. ❤️

Is a four star hotel but it provide with a five star quality. Staffs are friendly and kind. We booked a three bedroom suite and it’s super big and every bathroom include bathtub. The smart tv have Netflix and YouTube to watch so u won’t be so boring. Moreover they really should put lights on the makeup mirror cause it’s very hard to get the light. When showering the water either super hot or super cold.

Great place in Kata, got a one bedroom apartment. Great space even if you have to work. In the 5th floor there is a pool with a great view for stunning sunsets. The staff is quite friendly. You also don’t need to bring towels for the beach they will provide you with.

Excellent location, restaurants, markets, Supermarkets, atms and the beach nearby
