The 158-room Centara Kata Resort Phuket is a family-friendly complex located in the popular Phuket resort area of Kata Bay. There are plenty of facilities for all ages including three swimming pools (one of which is just for adults), an outdoor playground, and on-site spa. All rooms extend to an outdoor space and suites provide for (minimal) self-catering wet bars. Prices are definitely at the cheaper end for this type of hotel, but the property's lack of proximity to the beach is a bit of a compromise.
