The SIS Kata

Pre Inception

The SIS Kata is a stunning hotel perched above Kata Beach, offering incredible sea views, stylish modern rooms, and a really relaxed, luxurious vibe. The infinity pool area is a highlight — perfect for watching the sunset — and the staff were always friendly, welcoming, and quick to help with anything I needed. The location is also great, just a short walk down to the beach and local shops. However, my stay was overshadowed by a bout of food poisoning I unfortunately got after eating at the hotel’s restaurant. It was really disappointing, especially given how great everything else about the hotel was. I believe it was the salmon gravlax which caused it, and it definitely affected my experience. If you’re planning to stay here, I’d still recommend it for the rooms, views, and atmosphere — just be cautious about dining at the hotel and maybe try some of the great local restaurants nearby instead. With some improvements to food safety and quality, this place could easily be a 5-star stay.

Our stay at SIS Kata did not disappoint. We were so happy with the service, location, rooms, facilities – everything. The spa is conveniently located inside the resort, and the overall atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. The photos speak for themselves - just look at that view! If we should point out anything that could be improved, it would be the food. The breakfast was magnificent, but the à la carte dinner wasn’t the most exciting, and some dishes felt a bit tame. Maybe if we had chosen more of the Thai dishes instead of the typical Western ones, it would have been a different story. That said, it didn’t affect our overall experience at all – we still give the stay full stars.

Pros: beautiful hotel with nice decorations. The super king bed was our favourite part and had great sleeps. The pool and view to the beach is great all day long, especially at sunset when they have happy hour. Buffet breakfast is vast and has a great selection, including great coffee. Staff are friendly and helpful. Neutral: as everyone says, the hotel is at the top of a short hill. You need decent fitness to do the walk or take short breaks to make it up. Or get a Grab or hotel shuttle to avoid the walk. Cons: there was a guest that had 2 young girls with her for the whole time we were there. They didn't do anything wrong but it is weird that they were allowed to stay at the hotel when it's clearly 18+. Would have preferred that the hotel maintained its 18+ status and not allowed any kids to stay there, which was a big reason why we chose the hotel.

Absolutely fabulous hotel! The infinity pool and view from the restaurant are unparalleled, and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast is awesome too. Only downsides were the shower wasn’t great, and you have to be prepared to hike up the hill if you walk places. But the view from the pool makes that worth it!

Good hotel with clean and modern rooms. The grounds are stunning with good views into the town and beach. The lights at night make it so beautiful. The rooms are abit on the small side but still fine and a nice comfortable bed. The breakfast is very good with lots of choice. Good location however, it is on hill but only a 10 minute walking into town. I would recommend this hotel.
