The SIS Kata Resort - Adult Only Reviews

TLDR; Underwhelming, not recommended Stayed 4 nights with my wife in pool view room ($150/night with breakfast). ROOM 2/5: Pool room actually has a view of small splash pool and more rooms right in front. Room is small, no doors on closets, minimum storage space, tiny bathroom and toilet, layout of bed was not comfortable for us- no side tables, two 500ml waters provided per day, extra charge if you ask more. Tea coffee available. Enough linen too. Room cleaning was rather superficial - the beach sand in our bathroom from first day remained throughout STAFF4/5: Generally the staff is polite and helping- special mention of restaurant staff Yaya and manager RIS. One waiter ‘Dear’ is quite impolite,l and rude but later apologised for his behaviour and attended us well LAYOUT- 2/5: Design and layout of hotel is flawed in my view- some parts are pretty confusing and it’s not easy to find your own room. One may get lost as other reviews have also mentioned RESTAURANT and FOOD 4/5: Breakfast spread is quite decent and hours are good 6.30-11am. Nice view from restaurant in the evening and ok food options- prices comparable to other restaurants we have been. POOL 4/5: Rooftop pool has nice set up for a sundowner, but closes at 8pm, pool bar closes at 7pm- so your options are limited. Happy hour at pool bar 5-7pm but bar drinks are quite watered down (mostly sugary water)- bar tender **** offended on receiving such feedback :( GYM 3/5: Gym is ok- has few basic machines, 2 treadmills, Weights- dumbbells till 25kg, No barbell or squat options FINAL THOUGHTS 3/5: Not recommended unless you get the room here for around $80 a night

the hotel staff and the breakfast are fine and the room is not bad at all. The location is ok but the view to the bay from the skyview restaurant on the top floor is unforgettable. Actually, this hotel is a very beautiful hillside garden that has some downsides as well. As it is built on the hillside, you have to walk up a 30 to 35-degree incline to get to the hotel entrance. Secondly, you need a leader to find your rooms as they are built in a maze-like way!!!! I promise that you will definitely and frequently get lost while you are heading to your room or coming back there in the first 3 days of your stay!!!

The hotel itself is super modern, clean, and comfortable. Rooms and overall environment are even better than the pictures online. The only real issue with this hotel is the location. Its not a problem of proximity, because everything such as beach/restaurants, are all nearby. The problem is that the hotel is at the top of a very steep slope, that’s also around a curve, and with no sidewalk. It is literally exhausting trying to walk from the beach to the hotel. I am a fit 30 year old, and i had a really hard time with this. The lack of a sidewalk and being around a curve also makes it dangerous. I honestly wouldn’t book this hotel again simply because of that reason, which is a shame because everything else is perfect. I realize it is not something the hotel can do something about, but its important for guests to know this before choosing this hotel.

The front desk staff when checking in was really friendly. Always a pleasure staying there, as we’ve stayed there before. One thing that bothered me was that our room had a door in the room that led to the room next door, and we also didn’t get the room we requested. Also, this time the check out process took REALLY long, more than 25 minutes after handing in the keys, we were still waiting to get our deposit back and leave the hotel. The breakfast was really good, and you have an amazing view while enjoying your breakfast.
