Grand Kata VIP - Kata Beach

Positives: • Helpful staff • Very clean hotel • Big rooms (apartment style room made for a much more enjoyable and comfortable trip) • Good AC in room • Good shower (pressure & temperature) • Great pool • Functional gym Negatives: • Views from the room not great (building site and trash) • 3000 baht deposit required on check-in (annoying to have that amount of Thai cash moments before going to the airport on departure) • Wifi - The wifi speed is fantastic. However, a huge problem that caused me endless grief was that the wifi disconnects every time you stop using a device or after about 2 hours of constant usage. As someone who was working from the hotel (online meetings etc), this was a big problem. Especially when on 3 occasions over the week I was there, the wifi code “expired”, meaning I had to call reception to get the new one. During an online business meeting, this was not ideal. Seems completely unnecessary to have this system in place considering the hassle it puts on guests, albeit some more than others. Just have a normal wifi connection? Overall, as a frequent traveler to Phuket - this was probably my favourite hotel that I’ve stayed in for around the $50 per night range.

Its worst hotel i every stayed , trip.com is part of scam

Good location , walking distance just 10mjn to kata beach , near kata night market , lots of street food and massage .
