Greetings from Kata, Phuket! 🌴
I'm staying at OZO Phuket tonight, and I wanted to share my own first impressions.
It's a lively, modern 4-star hotel, very much geared towards families, just a minute's walk from Kata Beach and surrounded by shops, cafés, restaurants and the night market.
A big draw for families with little ones is the free on-site water park, alongside three pools and playground.
It's a larger, buzzy property, so it suits families who want plenty going on rather than a secluded retreat.
For parents, there's a 24-hour gym and a daily happy hour from 5 - 7pm with most drinks buy one, get one free… Both perfect after a busy day at the beach, make your choice!
During my site inspection, I was shown a number of rooms including a one-bedroom suite with pool balcony, which I'd recommend for families of up to 2 adults and 2 children, or 3 adults and 1 child (maximum child age 12). Plenty of space to spread out, and the balcony is a lovely touch.
Pricing is mid-range, typically from around £55 to £75 per room per night, room only, depending on season and room type.
Families tend to stay for anything up to 10 - 14 nights, but my personal recommendation is a couple of nights at the start or end of a trip, as a fun, easy stopover on the way to or from the airport.
Just a whistle stop tonight before moving on tomorrow….
