Eastin Yama Hotel, Phuket in Kata

The Eastin Yama Hotel, Phuket in Kata is a fairly new hotel to me, it was already build and completed just under two years ago.

The location is idyllic in the Kata hills on Phuket and the 104 rooms come with a hill or ocean view. The rooms come in a wide variety, ranging from Superior to Deluxe and there are also Suites with Sea view.

A nice touch is that if arrival time is confirmed 48 hours in advance, the room will be ready upon arrival, otherwise the frist night will be for free and a 16 year old has free breakfast and an extra bed (as in 2016). There's also a kids and teenage room available and as a parent, these are things that attract and interest me!

The Kata beach is just a 5 minute drive away, so there is no direct beach access. However, the pool is great and is located directly next to the breakfast restaurant, which allows you to eat your croissant or rice porridge whilst sitting in a pool chair, dangling your feet in the water!

The Eastin Yama Hotel, Phuket in Kata is a 4 start hotel but with amazing rates, especially out of season or booked well in advance.

Since I teach PADI IDC programs around the corner at PADI CDC Center 'Dive Asia' at Kata Big Rock, we had a few of our candidates stay here and we only received positive feedback, just like the hotels receives in general good feedback from the majority of its guests.

Well worth a visit and recommended by me comes the Eastin Yama Hotel, Phuket in Kata with all facilities, despite lack of beach access.
