I decided to stay at "The SIS Kata Resort" for my company trip. At first, I had plans to stay at a hotel near the beach, but decided to stay here instead because many people died in the tsunami a few years ago and my coworkers were afraid of ghosts. Many Thai people are afraid of ghosts. Also, there was a discount at this hotel due to the Corona virus. It is a little far from the beach, but there is a shuttle bus that will take you to the beach for free.

What is the SIS OVER THE SEA Room like?
Guest room entrance door.
There was a toilet on the right, and a shower room and a closet on the left.
The room was a bit small for a family of four. It may be small even for two people. My suitcases took up a lot of space, but it was a new and beautiful room which was relaxing to spend time in.
The bed was big and nice to sleep on. However, my coworkers staying in a different room said that the bed creaked and was uncomfortable to sleep on.
There was a sofa and a table by the window.
The sofa could be turned into a bed.
The table was stylish.
A TV remote was in a case.
A TV across the sofa.
The back side of the headboard was a desk. There was a phone, memo pad and a an alarm clock on the desk.
The room seen from the window.
There was a veranda with two chairs, table and a jacuzzi.
I could see the ocean and the pool from my veranda, but other guests swimming in the pool could see me sitting which was awkward at times. You can see the ocean better from the corner room.

Facilities in the hotel
There were pools on the 1st and 4th floor. This is the main infinity pool on the 4th floor. There wasn’t much shade, so I got sunburn. Depending on wear you sit it may be hard to see the pool, so if you have children it is best to choose a seat with a clear view of the pool.
Upbeat music played at night and the pool was lit up beautifully. There was a bar by the pool which was only open at night.
A gym on the 3rd floor.
This is the “Let’s Relax Spa.” It was about 1500 baht for about two and a half hours. The reviews are very good.
A game room on the 3rd floor.
A library on the 3rd floor.

Hotel Surroundings
There was a FamilyMart about 10 minutes away on foot, but that was the only store nearby. There were not many cars on the streets, some stray dogs on the street and the streets were dark, so it is best to be extra careful at night. You can only get to shops in tourist spots by car. However, there were not many taxis on the street. Phuket is a very big island, so it is better to rent a car with a driver who has a good understanding of the area.
The beach is a short distance away and the hotel offers a shuttle service.

Staff and Guests
The staff at the hotel greeted me with a nice smile. The number of staff were relatively large.
Due to the influence of the corona virus 90% of the guests were from Thailand. There were many families and couples staying.

Access
The hotel was far from the airport. Therefore, it may be better to make various detours before going to the hotel. The island of Phuket was bigger than I had imagined. There were no traffic jams like Bangkok, but it was very far from the main tourist areas.
Big Buddha, a tourist attraction around the hotel, which was a 40-minute drive away.

Summary
It was a pity that the hotel was far from the hotel, but the hotel was clean and I was very satisfied with my stay. However, I would have preferred a larger room. The hotel stands on a hill, so some people may have to go up and down the stairs to get to their room. It would have been a perfect hotel if it was closer to the beach, but overall it was a nice hotel which I highly recommend staying at.
