Impiana Private Villas Kata Noi

Facilities: The room had everything we needed, including a large bathtub. The iconic infinity pool faces the sea, with cliffs and reefs right below it. Cleanliness: It was decent, but the air conditioning was too strong and dripped a bit. Environment: The hotel environment is lovely, with many great spots for photos. Service: This hotel is built on a cliff, and without cars, all luggage is carried down by the staff (they work incredibly hard and are surprisingly strong!).

Overall, it was just okay. The hotel has a nice view, but it's not good value for money. It's the only five-star hotel I've ever seen that doesn't offer fresh-squeezed juice... You can find sea views like this everywhere, and perhaps hotels in Phuket are just overpriced. The facilities are also average and a bit old. The taxi driver didn't even know the location, and we had to wait for a long time. Even though there were rooms available, they wouldn't let me check in early, insisting I wait until 3 PM. It was a very poor experience.

Beyond the beaches, this private cliffside villa in Phuket is an excellent choice. The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking, and the private infinity pool overlooks the sea. The service is also top-notch. The only minor drawback is that sometimes people fish or prepare for snorkeling on the rocks below the hotel, which slightly compromises privacy.

Our family booked a two-bedroom villa in Kata for Chinese New Year, something we'd been looking forward to for a long time. The coastline is absolutely beautiful, and frankly, the stunning view is the only good thing about this hotel. To get to Little Kata, you have to cut through the neighboring hotel. **Facilities:** The hotel facilities are incredibly old. The air conditioning is very noisy, and it drips water whenever you open a window. The decor is extremely dated. **Service:** It's essentially a small guesthouse with almost no service. You can't get lunch or dinner here. There are only 11 rooms in total and just three staff members. They didn't even clean our room until 4 PM the next day. **Breakfast:** They serve a set meal every day with three options, and it's the exact same every single day. By the second day, my family didn't even want to eat it anymore. We had an extra person (my mother) and were charged an extra bed fee of around 600 RMB per day. If you're planning to stay in Kata, I strongly recommend choosing Kata Thani or the hotel next door, and definitely avoid this guesthouse. The lady at the front desk had a sour face every single day. For a guesthouse, isn't service supposed to be your strong point? We were paying nearly 5000 [currency] a day, and it felt like I owed her something!!!

The views are absolutely stunning and the ambiance is fantastic. Compared to other resorts in the same price range, this one feels exceptional. It's also very quiet and secluded. The bathroom is huge and also boasts panoramic sea views. The only downside is that some facilities are a bit old or damaged (like the power outlets).
