Wekata Luxury Hotel

Our experience at We Kata was ok. The welcome drink was really bad, a glass of wine or beer would have made a significant better impression. The shampoo and soap smelled so bad we couldn’t use it and the bed wasn’t comfortable. The gym was shared with another hotel and was often crowded, the signs wasn’t updated and we had to ask for more than one staff were it was located. The rooms were clean, the staff super friendly, the pools good and you have live music almost everyday. At the breakfast there is a lot of options (but everything hat that regular hotel quality). The coffee machines could work faster, there were often a line for serving coffee.

Rooms and the hotel is very beautiful. Pool closes early as well as the nearby attractions .hotel is stunning but the deposit is very expensive which ruins the stay of the tourist from south africa. It made it a very unpleasant experience. Please consider reducing the deposit fee for people from South africa

Spent eight days at this hotel as part of our winter holidays. It was a mixed experience.

Pros:
- Staff were very friendly and helpful! Can't think of any negatives on that front.
- The rooms, despite their issues, were well cleaned every day. The swim-out functionality of our room was a great alternative to fighting for pool chairs.
- Great amounts of bottled water are delivered to the room daily.
- There is free WiFi. The speed wasn't fantastic (roughly 10 Mb/s) but got the job done.
- Musical performances are performed every night at the outside bar. A great listen.
- The position is great! There are many restaurants nearby and Kata beach is only about 10 or so minutes away on foot.
- The hotel restaurant has decent food. Bonus points for being able to serve us at 10 PM after arriving late from the airport.
- There is breakfast. It's nothing fantastic, but there is a chef who will cook eggs live on request. Expect a lot of thai foods to choose from and a limited sandwich selection.

Cons:
- The soundproofing of these rooms are non-existent. Expect to hear anyone passing by in the hallway and every performance at the bar (which can sometimes last until 11 PM).
- There was clearly no designer on board during the creation of the hotel rooms. Our shower door can only be half opened before it slams into the wall, forcing you to worm your way through the small open gap. You also could not open your closet without closing one of the doors, and in a relatives room thier couch was directly blocking their porch.
- Our couch was stained all over.
- The television was set to russian by default (which was hard to change) and didn't have any internet connection, locking out streaming services like Netflix.
- The bathroom soaps and shampoos are some kind of otherwordly concoction because they smell terrible. Bring your own for your own sake.

All in all, nothing fantastic although passable.
If you're just looking for a place to stay, it might be good to also consider other options.
