We have been to Phuket 5 times since 2000 and we absolutely love the place. Going back in Jan 2009 to stay at Kata Poolside Resort. There is more positive sides than the sewerage, but i'm sure with time that will be sorted out aswell. Great place to be. Love to retire there. Jacks. RSA

Kata Beach, Kata Noi and Nai Harn Beach are my preferred beaches
The Kata beach is one of the best beaches on Phuket. Not to large, with some trees in the back, it is only some minutes away from the shopping centers in Patong.
Since most of the beach ist dominated by the long wall of the Club Med, it is not too crowded, but the township of Kata is split in two. In the north there is a bustling village with ...

Great place to relax
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/28/07
I stayed nearby; it's a pity I only get to go there one morning and one sunset (during my 3 nites stay). Great sunset view. Definatly recommended to just spend time there. I love it!
(I did not go to any other beach for sunset in Phuket)

Simply Amazing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/16/07
Kata was gorgeous- the people are amazing- the values were amazing. Only thing is the 17.5 hour direct flight to Bangkok from NYC was a bit long. Not long enough though for me to not say that I'm going back soon.

if you can get over the open sewer!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/26/07
This place is not the paradise it is cracked up to be - unless you like self absorbed big fat European tourists - or maybe open untreated sewer draining into the sea! Chairs and umbrellas that dominate the beach Quite a disappointment - who knows who can use them?

Relaxing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/20/06
Kata is one of the most relaxing places. You have no "action" places but quite and nice restarrants, hotels and friendly inhabitants. if you want action it takes only from 5 to 20 minutes to Karon adn Patong
