Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

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.

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.

We stayed 19 nights in a Junior Suite with Ocean View for Alexandre C's wedding with a 3-year-old child. We're used to traveling and staying in 5-star hotels, but we were disappointed with this one. 4-star would be more realistic. To begin with, communication was very complicated because the staff didn't speak English, which is not an option for a hotel of this standing. This is essential when hosting international customers. A pricing error was made: it's not pleasant to receive a note under your room door and have to go back to pay, which adds bank fees. We also encountered an issue with payment; once we entered the code, the payment was declined for no reason. We try with 2 differents cards, and then we realized that the receptionist had chosen the credit payment instead of debit ! It's a good thing our bank blocked it because we could have ended up paying interest because the employee took the liberty of selecting for us! And when we explained to this person that it wasn't up to her to make this choice for us, she never apologized! The room was comfortable and the view beautiful. We had a problem with the worn mattress, but it was replaced as soon as we notified the hotel. However, we had a major complaint about the person who distributes towels, who allowed herself to enter the room at any time! We almost found ourselves in a very awkward situation! (We never had the right amount of towels, by the way.) The staff was attentive to our son, which was nice. The breakfast is great; we had a great time! But again, we had to insist, several days in a row, to get a table that matched the number of people we were (7). The staff wanted to seat us at a table of 4, where we would have had to squeeze in, or split us up and eat in two groups in separate areas of the room, even though we were a family! Regarding the wedding, the setting was splendid. But again, there were some imponderal: the music was extremely loud, to the point where it was difficult to communicate with each other. Even though the package included drinks, the staff asked me to pay the price of a small bottle of water requested for my son. Fortunately, the groom came to remind the staff of the chosen package, but it was awkward for everyone. The main course was good, but no more refined than the dishes we ate every day, even though it was a big event. The dessert was well presented, but inedible (an opinion shared by the guests). The service, however, was perfect throughout the meal. I also know that unforeseen circumstances imposed by the hotel the day before the wedding caused unnecessary stress for the bride and groom. To summarize, it's a beautiful hotel with a magnificent setting and beautiful pools, but the service was bad. We were disappointed because all these inconveniences marred our stay. We will not return.

My wife and I are finishing our 10 days stay at Katathani Phuket Beach Resort and we loved it. Staff is incredibly nice and kind, place is amazing, views are stunning and location is great. Airline lost our luggage and the hotel got it for us in 1,5 day. The food in the resort is very good as well as in all restaurants that are near the resort. Although there are a lot of people in the resort, this does not affect the service at all. Also there is plenty of space around the pool and on the beach, so it doesn't affect your stay. Ocean is clean and water is warm. AMAZING So all good about Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, thank you and we will be back for sure.
