Orchidacea Resort is magnificently set on the sloping hill boasting a mesmerising vista of the spotlessly white sand of the pristine Kata beach and aquamarine Andaman Sea from a private balcony of every guestroom. Right here, you can relax and unwind in style amidst the serene surroundings of lush tropical greeneries, swaying coconut palm tress, and countless kinds of exotic flowers and orchids. The golden beach is just a stone’s throw away, same as the charming Kata Village Centre.
The hotel offers a wide range of facilities namely swimming pool with Jacuzzi, fitness centre, car, jeep, and motorbike rentals, traditional Thai massage, free shuttle bus to Kata Beach, bar & restaurant, conference facilities, tour desk, and laundry service.
Accommodation and facilities:
My stay here was pleasant and the bed was comfortable, room clean and everything worked. The gardens are superb with a great diversity of plants of interest.
The pool area is very nice though drinks are a bit overpriced the happy hour is reasonable.
The buffet offers standard breakfast food which is just adequate, nothing special.
I could not find anything at fault with this hotel and it represented great value at my time of booking.

Accommodation and facilities:
The first night we had to spend in a small horrible room, we still have no idea why because we paid for a good room. Anyway, our real room was fantastic, with a wonderful wiew over the ocean. Just loved it. Nice staff to, and a great breakfastbuffét! Only thing that was a little hard was to climb the stairs, because of the lack of an elevator. Would not recommend to live up high for older people, or people with kids.
Reservation service:
no problems at all.

Accommodation and facilities:
Basically the hotel was o.k., the ladies at the reception were not too friendly but this was possibly because of their English not being too good.
What however we found very disturbing was the compulsory dinner on 24th of December at exaggerated 2900,- Baht per person which did not include any drink (not even some juice or water) except for one small half full glass of fruit punch to toast.
The value for money was not really good and we had the impression that the hotel management just wants to cash in without spending much on hospitality. Nevertheless, we have also to consider that we stayed there during the peak season. Off season might be better.
Reservation service:
To our full satisfaction!

Accommodation and facilities:
I would highly recommend this hotel. All staff are most friendly and courteous. Room (upgrade) was excellent but required steep walk with many steps.
Hotel is close to restaurants, and to Kata beach which is a beautiful beach.
Only negative comment is the ornamental water containers near reception, which are a breeding place for the mosquitos that are noticable around the reception seating area.
Reservation service:
This website is always reliable and efficient for making bookings.
