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 💰
