Katathani Phuket Beach Resort — Phuket

Overall a good experience at Katathani few points to the minus: *Quite big issue with humidity in the room. *Disappointed that we had to pay extra for sun beds at the so-called private beach (not a private beach). *Language skills of restaurant personnel was not adequate.

Overall service was very good. Front Office / Reception staff were not very friendly and could do with some training in customer service. We asked for a deluxe room with kingsize bed, extra bed and baby cot and this was not catered for despite our specific request. Had to change rooms on the 2nd day as our requested room was not available upon arrival. Furthermore, […] for families with young children, the restaurants in the evening only open from 18.30 onwards - should consider to open from 18.00 onwards. Uzziniet vairāk

Fabulous place to stay. The resort is out of the busy areas of Phuket which makes it very relaxing. If you want to go to restaurants and for shopping the resort is only a short distance by tuk tuk to Kata or 30mins to Patong. You can also easily walk to Kata. The resort facilities are great - plenty of pools, a lovely beach and breakfast was great too. […] The room was pleasant but needed a bit of an upgrade. However, the facitilies and staff at the resort more than made up for the room. Having seen quite alot of areas of Phuket while we were there, we would definately go back to Kata Noi Beach and stay at Katathani. If you are not a party animal and like to be out of the busy areas but still be in reasonable distance to them then this is a great place to stay. Uzziniet vairāk

I liked the hotel and restaurant. My only complaint they do not provide free wireless internet in the rooms. The free cafe computers were slow and not very reliable.

Its very nice but VERY expensive. It's quite far from town proper so youll definitely shell out cash to get to places. No free wifis and you pay for practically almost everything. It's very secluded so the beach is clean and not crowded.

We have just returned from 10 days in Phuket and were fortunate to have spent the first 5 nights at The Shore. By far the best place we have ever stayed, and yet we have been to many beautiful places. We could not fault The Shore in any way, it is just so beautiful and sets the benchmark for exceptional service and luxurious accommodation. Apart from […] the truly spectacular views and gorgeous suites, The Shore provides all the little extras that set them apart from other 5 star hotels - fresh, fragrant flowers every day, handmade treats at turn down each evening, exceptionally comfortable beds, pod coffee machines in rooms, and very reasonable prices for drinks and food. There is nothing overlooked, I really don't think The Shore could be improved in any way, and the individual infinity pools provide a feeling of exclusivity. The hotel has a real boutique feel, small enough to offer personal service but everything you could ever need. Breakfast by the pool is relaxed and beautifully prepared. The staff are always so considerate and helpful, always ready to assist but also providing privacy. And Kata Noi Beach is beautiful too, private, quiet, very clean and such a lovely place to relax and unwind. We will never be able to stay anywhere else in Phuket, this hotel is the best of the best and once experienced nothing else compares! Uzziniet vairāk

The Resort is labelled 5-star and I think that is just about holds that rating - although soon the rooms will need to be decorated/re-vamped as they are getting rather dog-eared. Ostensibly, money needs to be spent upgrading the rooms - we stayed in a Grand Suite on the Thani Wing. All resort grounds well kept; pools great; proximity to the sea was […] also superb, right on the beach. Fitness centre was good, recreation room for the children (I took two boys aged 9 and 11). Food on the whole was okay/good although apart from the Buffet Breakfast and lunch as the beach bar, we never dined 'in-house' for dinner. The biggest let-down to me was the wireless Internet connection. Firstly, we stayed for 5 days and were told we could book hourly, daily or a 15 day pass. We asked if we could book a 5 day or a week pass and were told 'no'. So we bought a 15 day pass at the cost of 900 Baht - cheaper than the daily version of 200 Baht a day. But that wireless Internet connection in the room was totally unreliable and being a businessman that has to work whilst on vacation, I was constantly calling reception to get the IT people to call the providers to reset the router. This was agonising and happened 2-3 times a day. On our morning of departure, I happened to need to work at 5am online and could not for love nor money get online. I called reception and the receiptionist just wearily said he would just speak to someone .... and then promptly put the phone down on me. I went all the way to reception at 5am with my laptop, showed him and the duty manager that it would not connect to the Wifi and explained that they MUST get wifi access for me as my work was most urgent. They said they would call the IT people. 15 minutes later I had wireless access in the room and submitted my work at 7.30am - a little over an hour past the schedule. So if you want a hotel that is 5 star (just), superb grounds and location, very relaxing in most respects, then this resort would be for you. But Uzziniet vairāk

The staff are very helpful to customers except some housekeeping staff for assistance.

We had booked a room with a sea view. On aarival we were shunted to the other side of the road (not beach front) into a terrible room a long way from reception. We refused the room and finally after threatening to leave they upgraded us - no better. Again we asked to leave and they up-graded us again to the beach side at a extra cost of A$55.00 per […] night. The staff were rude, the food overpriced the drinks poorly mixed. Never again will we go to this place. Uzziniet vairāk

This resort is in front of kata noi beach, but a little bit far from kata beach, actually it's walk distance, but not convenience for walking. Resort is very beautiful, staff is friendly, breakfast is also good. You can see many old couples and families here, most of them come from Russia. We take taxi (outside of the resort) to PATONG, it charged 800b/return, […] the price is reasonable. Overall, it's a good place for a relax&peceful holiday! Uzziniet vairāk

The hotel and beach were very nice. However be prepared to spend ALOT of money. Their prices for EVERYTHING was high! For example an all inclusive dinner (minus alcohol) was about $35.00 I'd rate their cuisine as SATISFACTORY. As for the alcohol it cost about 3-4 times what you would pay in Patong or Kata. I highly recommend going out of the hotel for […] dinner. A bottle of small bottle suntan lotion would cost you about $17.00. If you walk down the road you can get the same bottle of lotion for about $4.00. It's a nice hotel.........but be warned that you will have to pay big $$$$ for everything. NO FREEBEES AT THIS PLACE!!!!!! They even charge you for internet....and WIFI....!!! For as much as I heard about this hotel I have to say I was a little disappointed. This is my fourth trip to Thailand. My previous 3 trips I stayed at much cheaper and better hotels with just as good beaches.....and I didn't have to spend a fortune like at this hotel. Uzziniet vairāk

In general it was ok, however we were given a room right next to a lift and it was very noise whenever it was in use, although I have asked in advance to have a room in a good location. Rooms are a bit old for the price and need an upgrade. For the price I am sure we could get a much better quality hotel. Coctails at the bar are not of the best quality […] for the price too, well next time I will defenately stay elsewhere. Uzziniet vairāk

Briefly, here is a list of pros and cons of our stay: Pros: 1) Great location and right by the beach (across small street) 2) Lovely outdoor setting/gardens 3) Good children's club with activities! 4) Fast, good room service 5) Great choice of well kept pools. 6)Very nice concierge to help with booking tours. 7) Lovely option to change your mattresses/pillows […] to suit your soft or hard bed preferences. 8) Gave us a breakfast box to the airport each, since we checked-out to early in the morning to have breakfast! Very thoughtful! Cons: 1) Service is mediocre at best. When we first checked-in, despite our long, tiring trip, we were lambasted for 15 minutes about an email miscommunication regarding airport transportation. It really couldn't have waited until we were a bit settled in???!!! 2) Restaurants are overpriced for average food and seemed understaffed (plates remained on table and difficult to get drink refills, etc) 3) No alarm clock, iron or ironing board in room. 4) Only one beach towel per person per 24 hour period! Silly towel policy that is ridiculous when you have children that swim at the beach and the pool multiple times per day!!! 5) Bhurri rooms (not sure about other rooms) don't offer any privacy between the bathroom and rest of the hotel room. There is a shower and a strange water feature that "seperate" the rooms. Once a light is on in the bathroom it lights everything up and you can hear everything in there too. Sorry, but with kids, you want them to stay asleep once they nod off! Just go to the multitude of other hotels instead. It will be cheaper and probably less hassle. Uzziniet vairāk

This is our 2nd stay at the Katathani. It is a wonderful hotel with such lovely helpful staff. The staff could not do more for you, were friendly, smiley and seemed genuinely happy to help with anything they could. The beach is excellent although I did think the jet skis were an accident waiting to happen, sometimes getting too close to bathers for […] my liking. We will definitely be returning. Uzziniet vairāk

After driving to the beach previously, I decided that I wanted to stay at this resort so this trip I booked 4 nights. The rate included breakfast which was delicious. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They always showed up 5 minutes after calling (for ice, power converter, extra towel). The resort grounds are picturesque. Too many pools to […] count and the sand and water are clean. No need to go anywhere as the resort ad restaurants are reasonable. Uzziniet vairāk

Resort was exactly what we needed and lived up to expectations. Clean, friendly, comfortable and wonderfully peaceful considering school holiday.

Nothing to complain about, at all. If i were forced to make a complaint about this piece of heaven, It'd be that gave me service that I would have never dreamed of having. Couples who are thinking of a honeymoon destination, they would treat you like gods, and leave you alone at the right times. You'll be in great hands.

Wow this place is huge. Everything was well taken care of and with security roaming 24/7 you felt very safe. This secluded Resort at the end of the a string of other hotels/motels has it's own private beach and is nice getaway from the rest of phuket. Sure you can visit the city and patong beach with all it's chaos and wildness but it's nice to retire […] to this beautiful resort and 5 different pools. Uzziniet vairāk

There's no bad word on staff. They anticipate almost every unspoken wish. Always respectfully smiling. A drawback is that internet access is extra charged and only comes with an annoying id/password login everytime you hock up - try to remember a 12 digit user credentials when couching at the beach front. However, I addressed and I was provided with […] a custom id/password that I was able to remember. Confirms my statement about the very capable staff. However, If you don't require Internet for work/studies, it's a great relaxing place worth the price you pay. The food is always fresh; cutlery clean and polished. Pools are above regular architectural standards and a lovely place to dip your toes while reading a book. Shade is provided by palm trees and tautly cloth (still though some red lobster populate the site). The hotel-owned beach comes with lots of trash washed up by the currents in low-seasons. But, you may accompany the staff cleaning up the beach - great idea to sensitize on green-planet aspects. Uzziniet vairāk

We had a good time. Only complain is lack of Complementary Internet. I expected this for Hotels.com customers. The hotel staff was good.

I stayed at the Katathani in late August 2009 with two friends. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with towels to cool ourselves down and drinks----the service was only uphill from there. We had no problems getting a room with three beds here (most other hotels we looked at charged extra). The staff is very friendly and honest and the rooms […] are clean, classy and have great views of the pool and the beach and ocean beyond it. All in all, this was a very peaceful and relaxing resort. We went during the off-season, so the hotel was quieter but I got the sense the staff would be equally attentive during the busy season. The hotel is within walking distance of Kata town and a very quick cab/tuk tuk ride from Phuket town. Be warned that everyone will try to overcharge for cabs to Phuket - the price is always negotiable! If you're looking for a honeymoon resort or just a fun place to stay, away from the frat boys, backpackers and sleazy old sex tourists, this is it. Uzziniet vairāk

Extraordinaire!

プーケットでは数少ないオンザビーチホテルです。大きなホテル（500室弱）ですが、ホテル従業員も多くとても快適です。プールで寝そべっていると（そろいのホテル認可のマッサージおばさんが、）60分300Ｂｔｈ（800円）で全身マッサージをやってくれます。（ホテル外でマッサージに行く必要なし極楽です）。ホテル目の前のＯＲＣＨＩＤというシーフード系レストラン最高です。何が最高って蟹チャーハンが（ＦｒｉedＲｉｃｅ　ＷｉｔｈＣｒａｂ）蟹ゴロゴロで最高に美味しいです。２回も食べました８０Ｂｔｈ（３００円です）日本で食べたら１５００円位するかな～？。パトンビーチからは離れており（車２０分程）周辺は馬鹿騒ぎも無く静かで綺麗なオンザビーチホテルです。また行きたいですね。

Positive: - Nice beach and swimming pools - Standard buffet breakfast, many options on style of egg/omelet - Spa was good with reasonable price - Better stay at Ocean Front Suite (Thani Wing) Negative: - Lack of toothbrush and toothpaste - Location is far away from airport, better drive on your own or arrange a taxi transfer - Wi-Fi need to be charged […] 200B for 1 hour, maximum 500B for 24 hours.

临近海滩，漂亮宁静，有人不是很多，只是交通不是很方便，只要才够足够的必需品，舒舒服服的呆上几天还是很不错的选择

リゾートと言う名を間違いなく満足させているホテルと言えます。 敷地も広大で、プールも６つあり、ジャグジーなど設置されている所もあり、プールには非常に満足しております。 また、緑のお庭も沢山あり、お庭でマッサージも受けられると言うサービスもありました。 ビーチ沿いを独占しているので、プライベートビーチではないけどプライベートビーチ感満載です。 残念ながら雨季の為、夕陽には恵まれませんでしたが、乾季ならきっと素敵な夕陽が見られるのでは？ また、雨季ではありましたが海の水はとても綺麗で満足できました。 ホテルの近くにはレンタルバイクもありましたので、バイクを借りて散策も出来、非常に良かったです。

El hotel queda a una hora del aeropuerto pero cuando llegas te esperan con toallas frescas, collar de flores y un rico trago heladito, la habitacion tenia muy buen aroma a flores y un baño muy entretenido ya que entre la habitacion y el baño tiene vidrio, los desayunos son buffet muy variado, las comidas eran muy bien atendidas y ricas el hotel en general […] es muy lindo, limpio con muchos jardines. en primera linea del mar y bien atendido, en los jardines hay personas para hacerte masajes que te los cargan a la habitacion,internet es gratis, cuando nos fuimos era muy temprano y nos dejaron una caja con nuestro desayuno para el camino. Si no fuera tan lejos de Chile volveria cada vez que necesite un buen descanso. Uzziniet vairāk

전반적으로 편안한 여행이 되었습니다. 주위에 볼꺼리는 많이 없었지만 리조트내에서의 휴식공간은 단순히 휴양으로는 적합한 곳이었습니다. 식당이나 다른 편의 시설도 어느정도 휴식하기에는 적절한 것 같았습니다. 한가지 흠이라면 수영장 주위의 간의 식당에서의 음식수준은 좀 많이 떨어지는 편이어서 이부분이 좀 아쉬웄습니다.

また泊まりたいホテルです。スタッフもみんな親切で大変有意義な旅行になりました

I have stayed in this hotel from 18 to 23 this month. My legs were hurt during my travel, so I was nervous. But I could feel comfortable in this hotel because every staff were so kind. カタ ノイビーチはホテルの目の前にあって、とても美しいビーチでした。ホテルのプライベートビーチではないのですが、人も多くなく、綺麗なビーチです。 ホテルの設備がすばらしいので、ホテルに滞在だけでも充分楽しめます。プール、エステ、ごはんは充分ホテルで楽しめます。 ショッピングはホテル内だけでは物足りない（ジムトンプソンくら […] いしかない）ので、街へ行くのがお薦めです。ホテルの周りにはタイレストランが数件しかないので、そこだけはちょっと不便です。私は、プーケットCityととなりのカタビーチへタクシーでいきました。夜の街もカタビーチで楽しみました。 顧客層は欧米人が多く、シーズン的なものなのか日本人はあまりいませんでした。しかし日本語スタッフがいるので安心でした。 またプーケットに行くときはこのホテルに泊まりたいです。 Uzziniet vairāk

I was upgraded to a better room on arrival because the room type which i booked were all full. The beach is very nice and the pools and bars are also very good. The hotel is situated in a main street with a couple of shops and restaurants which are really bad. For lunch and dinner you have to travel to nearby Kata or Patong to eat and shop at reasonable […] prices. To luch and dine in the resort is very expensive. Besides this small issue, the 3 days i spent there were really nice. Uzziniet vairāk

Hotellet har super beliggenhet og alle nødvendige fasiliteter på området, som er stort - ca. 450 rom med mye friareal. Hotellet ligger på stranden. Det var fullt, men nok av plass til alle - svært godt egnet for barn. God og variert mat svært blide ansatte og god service. Lite andre muligheter enn hotellets. Et svært irriterende element er imidlertid […] at de færreste ansatte behersker engelsk, slik man skulle tro de gjorde - dvs godt nok. 4 av 5 bestillinger blir misforstått. UTROLIG irriterende og dette til tross for at kelnerne ofte repeterer ordren før de setter den i bestilling. Etter noen dager tenker man "hvordan er det mulig..." Dårlig kommunikasjon internt på hotellet - ringer man resepsjonen for å få bestilt en taxi fungerer dette supert, men når man kommer for å finne taxien er det ingen i resepsjonen som vet noe som helst om denne bestillingen.... Dette gjelder i de aller fleste tilfeller og det avdekker at vilje ikke er nok til å ha et godt nok produkt. Hotellet er noe mer slitt enn vi hadde håpet, og særlig gjelder dette rommet. Greit løpende renhold. Alt i alt et fint opphold i 15 dager, men standard bør senkes til nesten 4 stjerner, selv om fasilitetene tilsier mer. Tar man seg en tur utenfor hotellet ser man imidlertid at man bor meget bra sammenlignet med det meste andre - men prisen er også deretter. Litt mye irriterende live musikk i alle restauranter på Hotellet. Ikke bare er musikken dårlig, men de spiller for høyt også.... og så spiller de hver dag... For barna var dette fantastisk, men for oss voksne litt mindre stas. Grei og gratis barnepass. Uzziniet vairāk

I did not understand much more about the word "resort" until i statyed in Katathani. The hotel is just a kind of want-to-be hotel even you get only information and pictures from the website. There are two wings there, one is Thani wing, with all sea-view rooms and suite, however, if you do not requst particularly the sea-view, you could choose the Bhuri […] wing, that walks to the beach in 2 minutes, and in cheaper budget.

Das Hotel liegt an einem sehr schönen Strand. Es ist sehr ruhig und erholsam. Einzig das Frühstücksbuffet, obwohl reichhaltig, ist eher standard.

preço/qualidade.. Resort com praia privativa, ambiente calmo... muito bom, aconselho muito

On a été déçu, car nous avions réservé pour une seule nuit, et on nous a donné les plus mauvaise chambre possible, juste à coté de la réception, là ou tout le monde passe!!!!! Précisons que nous étions en basse saison et que l'hôtel était presque vide... Apparemment il n'accorde pas beaucoup d'importance pour les personnes qui ne restent qu'une seule […] nuit!!!!! Pour un 5 étoiles ça craint!!!! pour le coup on a bien fait de rester qu'une seule nuit, le resto est cher et franchement on repart avec le faim au ventre, l'accès à la mer est pas terrible, le petit dej est pas mal, bref on est rester sur notre faim...
