Andaman Cannacia Resort & Spa - SHA Extra Plus

We extended our stay so I've copied my previous review here. This is a very special resort in Kata area - quiet, away from the bustle and craziness of Kata but close enough to walk to the beach and the centre. It's located amongst green gardens with fragrant frangipani trees with spectacular terrace view onto the beach. The pools are clean and very relaxing. The rooms are updated, clean and very spacious. The staff is very nice and polite, accommodating and understanding. We stayed during low season so the resort was not busy. The guests are multinational and because of the location the resort does not get many Russian tourists or families with kids so it's quiet, relaxed and the vibe is more boutique and elegant. Breakfasts are very nice, tasty, with plenty of choice of hot meals, different every day, suitable for vegetarians. The hotel has no smoking policy in the rooms and balconies so it is very very good - there's a dedicated smoking area in the gardens. We were very satisfied with our stay and considering the unappealing and busy Kata area this hotel is perhaps the best choice for those who are looking for something quiet and away from mass consumerism. We got a room upgrade which was very nice - the room was overlooking the gardens with partial see view and it was bright and pleasant. The hotel offers a shuttle to the beach and back. The hotel organised an event during our stay to promote sustainability, there is many displays around the hotel to raise guests awareness of the food waste, especially during breakfast, about the water conservation and recycling so it's a positive gesture as well.

Great views and quiet

The view over Kata beach is amazing.

Nice hotel, great views - can see the Big Buddah. Good sized room.with a massive bed, we had a view of the sea. Good pools, always managed to get a sun lounger at any time.during the day. Good selection of drinks at the bar - very nice frozen cocktail. Good choice of food for breakfast and lunch/dinner if you want to eat at the hotel. Staff very helpful, we wanted a taxi one evening and they couldn't get hold of any on phone so one of the lads at the taxi desk jumped on his scooter and went and got us one from the centre. Had a lovely back massage and face massage at the spa - more expensive than in town but we'll worth it. Yes the hotel is on a hill, but only a short walk down to the centre. Plus free bus every hour from the hotel and back. Doesn't take too long though to walk back, or you can jump in a taxi for 200 baht.

The rooms were lovely and spacious. Cleaning service was excellent. Fresh robes everyday, pool towels provided aswell as flip flops. Toiletries replenished daily. Bottles water provided daily. Air- conditioning excellent. The pool area was lovely and relaxing and always plenty choice of beds. Excellent view of Kata beach.
