Pool

Bed was amazing ! Clean rooms and hotel with nice reception area, play room for children and a little seating outdoor area in the shade! 
Non smoking on the balcony ! Breakfast was one of the bests I had with an egg station, noddle soup station, coffee, bacon, pancakes, toast….
Location is great as not in the craziness of Kata Beach but just before in a street with restaurant (red corner was the best) laundry, massage….

Nice hotel near Kata beach! Beautiful swimming pool and quiet although family friendly

We are currently still at the Aurico Kata resort & Spa and so thought I'd write my review whilst enjoying the private balcony & great pool music. (I asked them if they could play some more modern contemporary music - rather than rock & I'm pleased to say they obliged!!)

The hotel facilities are spot on, as previous reviews have mentioned. The breakfast is excellent with a diverse array of foods.
In the heat it takes a good 15 minutes to walk to Kata Beach. It's a pleasant route past the various restaurants, massage parlours & the brilliant 7/Eleven 😃 

This particular end of the beach nearest to the hotel has little fish in the shallows & also the jelly fish (non poisonous) tend to drift along to here. Very pleasant for swimming with few waves.
There is a shuttle bus from the hotel - but seems it takes you to the other end of Kata beach; which had quite high waves & banana boat rides etc directly in front of our hired chairs & parasol (so not so ideal!!)
The hotel has wonderful friendly staff who make you feel very much at home & welcomed back when you return hot & bothered from exploring Phuket.

Despite smoking supposedly being banned in Thailand, unfortunately the hotel does allow smoking on the premises. Great shame for us - particularly as it was happening in a designated spot right in front of our balcony.

I am a keen swimmer so the only downside for me was that despite the pool being large it wasn't very deep. The deepest part is 1.2 metres....so designed with young families in mind. It also had a huge inset circle which you had to negotiate around & could easily stub your toe on.
Nevertheless the hotel is a perfect haven and a wonderful location to retreat to.

Superb haven near Kata beach

The housekeeping is so bad as there are still dust everywhere and they do not replace items such as toilet paper, had to ask for it. Also, after staying one night, got charged for stained bedsheets and got told to take it the laundry to do it myself, which is madness for a hotel. All housekeeping does is look for stains so to write people up to get money from them. The front desk were not helpful at all and just ignored anything I said and blamed my wet clothes....why would I go to bed in wet clothes? Also, they will constantly harrass you for the payment, despite still being at the hotel, it is not like I can runaway.
Just be cautious when booking this hotel as they are not helpful at all and take pictures as evidence or they will harass you non-stop.

Worst stay ever!

Avoid at all costs spiders webs filthy unpleasant staff do not cater for vegans manager Arron did try to help but the staff just didn’t bother we stayed one night then jumped in a taxi couldn’t get away quickly enough. Arron told us we could have a full refund just waiting for it back. Can’t smoke on balcony or near the pool. Enclosed so not much sun we changed our room twice but no better. This hotel should be zero star and needs a whole new staff team who actually want to be there instead of making guests feel like an intruder to their day. Please believe the reviews having been to many hotels in Thailand this is the worst.

Don’t do it

A very clean and comfortable place to stay. Definitely recommend this hotel as an option for families when you’re in Kata or Karon. We stayed for 9 nights but it seemed most of the other guests were 1 or 2 nights, so the lobby was pretty busy at check in & out times. In the 10 days, we were the only Aussies with pretty much most other guests from China. Despite the hotel being fully booked, there were no more than about 12 people in and around the pool at any time, so getting a lounge by the pools was never a problem. It was really relaxing and enjoyable which is exactly what we were needing on our holiday. Only 1 block away from Kata night market makes this place really close to everything, yet it’s so quiet both at night as well as during the day. We had interconnecting rooms which suited our family of 5 really well and I’d happily stay here again without any concerns. Some feedback for the hotel would be that the housekeeping staff could be a little more attentive to servicing the rooms and that the pool bar be constantly staffed during opening hours rather than the staff congregating and talking with each other in the lobby when people are looking for service at the pool bar.
