Beyond Resort Kata

Parasta on hotellin loistava sijainti. Hyvä allas-alue. Hotelli ei millään tavalla kontrolloinut aurinkotuolien varaamista. Tuolit olivat pyyheliinoin varattuja jo aamuvarhaisella, varaajat saattoivat tulla vasta puolenpäivän jälkeen paikalle, jos silloinkaan. Palvelu hotellissa ei ole hyvä. Ilmainen WiFi toimii vain aulassa ja sielläkin surkeasti. Huoneen ilmastointi on äänekäs, lisäksi hotellin katolla jotkut pumput jyrisevät illalla myöhään ja käynnistyvät yölläkin. Tämä haittaa ainakin ylimmän kerroksen huoneissa. Aamiainen on varsin keskinkertainen hotellin hintaan nähden.

There rooms looked clean and well maintained. Loved the sea facing room totally! The buffet breakfast was a lovely spread. The restaurant staff was amazing, though one lady at the reception not so much...almost rude if I say so. For non peak season when we travelled and paying almost $130+ a night...for Thailand I would consider that high, which I was comfortable to pay only for facing the sea and because we had a terrible experience at the previous hotel where we got a so called good deal price but checked-out and had to check-in at Beyond at the last minute! The internet at Beyond was at a price and the reception was almost rude when I high-lighted that accordingly hotels.com it is supposed to be free WiFi. I am not sure if we were in a renovated room but the bay window seating was really old and dirty even though the rest of the room felt very well maintained. There were some ants in the bathroom and bar area but not a deal breaker because we had literally checked out of another hotel in the neighborhood because they very likely had bed bugs and certainly far more mosquitos!

Stayed in the resort for 3 nights! Some rooms could do with a little freshen up but we were given a free upgrade and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

A nice hotel right at the beach on the southern tip of Kata Beach. Good service, big buffet breakfast and big rooms. My room was with a balcony and sea view which was really nice. There is a gym (small) and sauna. They also have a spa, but I did not use the service so I cannot give any opinion of that. The hotel has some years on it, but carry it with some charm. A really spacious lobby area! The hotel's own restaurant is good, and there are a lot of restaurants, shops, etc. practically just outside the entrance of the hotel. The only downside was that they charged way too much for transportation to the airport. If you go outside the hotel and ask some of the local "travel agents" sitting there, you can get a transport to airport for half the price.

This was a great resort! Hotel staff were nice, carried our suitcases to our room without a problem, didn’t seem to expect a tip for room service. We had a deluxe room with pool access which was beautiful, and turned out to be quite convenient as we were there during rain season (June) but our pool access patio was a great way to be outside and blocked by the wind. Breakfast had a great selection with an egg station (omelettes were delightful)! We weren’t on the resort much but the beach was quite nice when they cleaned it - it wasn’t cleaned our first day and quite full of garbage from the ocean (lots of plastic), which was unfortunate. Overall great location! Only a 30 minute walk to the start of the Big Buddha hike. It was a 40 min ride to Phuket Fantasea but it is a Niven location as there’s shops and restos around but it is quiet at night.
