Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

Lovely resort. Kids loved the pool and slide. Restaurant options were good - good Thai restaurant on site and the ocean view restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Pool side dining was good too. Beach was lovely and clean. Unfortunately when we were there the no swim flags were up quite a lot and it was pretty choppy waters, but not the fault of the resort obviously. Life guards were actively monitoring the beach and warning people not to swim when it wasn't safe.

Stayed a week here in the northerly wing, which was lovely and quiet. Beautiful view of the beach. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the whole hotel is spotless. Beautiful manicured gardens, spotless pools and restaurants and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Great location as nice and quiet, but within easy access to the larger, busier beaches and night markets/amenities and local sights. Having an app service that lets you order towels, room service, etc, is brilliant, although it would be good if that same service could be extended to ordering food and drink around the pool areas. Overall, it is a lovely, well-appointed hotel with fantastic staff.

One of the best resort experiences I’ve ever had. After receiving numerous recommendations from friends and family, we finally decided to visit—and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The resort offers a wide variety of restaurants and cocktail bars, catering to all tastes. It is particularly well-suited for families with children, featuring an impressive water park and seven to eight immaculately maintained swimming pools. There are also several local shops nearby, and affordable hourly massage services are readily available. The buffet options were diverse and of high quality. The beach was pristine in the mornings, although it can become untidy by the evening due to some guests not disposing of their rubbish properly. However, the resort staff ensures it is thoroughly cleaned and restored. Highly recommended for both families and couples. We would gladly return again and again.

Excellent hotel. Very attentive stuff. Very clean and orderly throughout (huge advantage over Turkey). I can really only compare to 5-star resorts in Turkey. Hence, all comparisons relate to that. One massive downside (if you booked with breakfast only): expect to pay for everything, literally everything (beer will cost you the same as in the UK) - even visiting a hotel based nurse for a simple scratch will cost you 500B minimum. Few restaurants based in the hotel are priced not too far from what you'll pay in the UK restaurants. You need to be really careful with restaurants outside the hotel - we travelled as a family of 4, and 2 of us had food poisoning, even though we have tried to avoid it (never had issues like that in Turkey, by the way). There are a few thoughts when comparing to Turkey 5-star resorts: - very long travel time from the UK (18-20hrs with short stop over @ Qatar or Singapore), hence much higher cost. - service (simply can't beat Turkey due to understanding English or Russian). - poor selection of breakfast food (honestly, nowhere close to Turkey). - not all bad, though - sea is beautiful and water was really warm in April. - very good rooms with excellent soundproofing.

We stayed three nights at Katathani Resort and had a wonderful experience. Our ocean-view room was clean, spacious, and had a luxurious feel to it. The pool was spotless and inviting, with the Coconut Bar right next to it—a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink. The staff were incredibly helpful, polite, and always pleasant. The front desk team was especially great, offering useful suggestions and local recommendations. The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach and within walking distance to many nearby restaurants. The resort itself is expansive, with multiple dining options to suit all tastes. Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety of delicious choices each morning. Overall, we were extremely happy with our stay and would highly recommend Kata Resort to anyone visiting the area.
