Phuket City Escape🌞 - Aurico Kata Resort & Spa

📍 Location & Access We drove there 🚗 — super convenient with parking right in front of the hotel! You can also rent a scooter 🛵 directly from the hotel. Lots of food options nearby 🍜, and within a few minutes’ walk you’ll find: • Kata Night Market 🍢 • Kata Bar Street 🍹 • Kata Beach 🌊 ✨ Our Stay Experience Quite a few Chinese travelers were staying here, but the place was peaceful and clean 🌿. The hotel has a gym, kids’ play area, and great service — staff helped with our luggage (no tipping pressure 👍). ⚠️ Things to Note 🦟 There are quite a few mosquitoes! We booked a pool-access room — make sure to close the door quickly! 🐜 Found two live ants (about 1cm 😅) on the bed and a few bug wings on the sheets. I used the hair dryer to “clean” the bed before sleeping 😂. So if you have sensitive skin, maybe don’t sleep directly on the sheets! 🦎 Occasionally saw geckos in the hallway at night (totally normal in Thailand) — harmless, but still gave me a jump every time! 💡 Tips 🔹 If you’re worried about bugs, leave a note saying “No cleaning service” to avoid changing to possibly dusty bedding (especially if staying multiple nights). 🔹 7-Eleven, laundry shops, and massage places are all nearby — super convenient! 🌿 The pool-access room was so chill — loved sitting on the balcony with the curtains open and soaking up the vibe 😌 Overall: Great environment (aside from some bugs), convenient location, and decent value for money 💰 #phuketvibes #thailandtravel #auricokataresort #travelreview #poolaccessroom #katabeach #travelmoments #hotelreview #vacationmood #tropicalescape
