We just had a great stay at Kata Bai D in Phuket. Besides the very good location, the cleanliness and the unbeatable price (low season), the owner Sam is the main reason for our pleasent experience there. He always helped us alot with organizing all sort of things (airport pick-up, sights and restaurant recommendations...) and just made us feel welcome.
The hotel is situated very close to Kata Beach with lots of restaurants and shops in the surrounding. However, it is quite far from Patong and Phuket town. So I would recommend to rent a car for those who plan to visit those places frequently... but we were looking for this specific area of Phuket and we were not disappointed.
Our room was cleaned daily and was in a very good overall condition, as is the hotel. It had all the amenities we were looking for. Comfortable bed, safe, hair dryer, TV, air-con, fridge and free Wlan.
They also provide fruits, coffe, tea and toast with jam etc. at no cost which I found to be a very nice treat - especially for Phuket.
To make it short: For those who dont want to spend a fortune for clean and comfortable rooms with a top notch service - this is the place to be.
