We have just returned from Kata Palm Resort. The first thing I would like to say is the staff look very happy, from the front desk to the gardeners. The swimming pools are surrounded by trees, giving a very chilled vibe and perfect mix of shade and sun, enough sun shades around too. The location is great, lots just outside the hotel, bars, shops, restaurants. The beautiful beach a few minutes walk away. Our room was in the Royal Blue Wing, the view was not great but we were not in our room much as the local area was great. Despite lots around us, we were not bothered by noise. While there was not an huge choice at breakfast, we never went hungry. We took part in a fruit carving lesson, while we were not very good, it was great fun. My husband and I had our marriage blessed in Wat Chalong Temple, the hotel staff helped to plan this for us, everything was perfect. Many thanks to you all at the hotel for a great stay.
