Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

Phuket, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

In a secluded bay, overlooking a beach regarded as the most beautiful on Phuket, this is certainly an idyllic holiday choice. Soft golden sand to glide along, sunsets to admire, and, of course, beautiful accommodation, ranging from Junior Suites to those set back amongst trees and tropical flowers. Pampering pursuits include a full-service spa and a beauty salon, ensuring you look and feel your best. As well as lots of sports activities you can get involved in more cultural endeavours, take a Thai cooking class and learn how to carve those fancy fruit decorations or enjoy a workout whilst learning the art of Thai boxing. Finally, a word about those restaurants, there are several to choose from, serving Thai and Western delights for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s also La Scala for Italian cuisine and light music, plus several beach bars for an enticing tropical cocktail!

Image of the Tripadvisor rating Great spot in a quiet beach town, average service, stay for 5 nights or less as the town is small with limited dining

Dec 25, 2024 Scunder Sydney, Australia

The rooms were nice and modern, the food at the breakfast buffet is tasty, although mostly caters for weddings in the evenings so you need to visit other places (which IMHO is a good thing), there’s plenty of pools, aqua play for kids and a kids club to keep you busy, as well as a games room for some respite from the sun. The service is average,… Read more

The service is average, and it’s a shame the beach is overrun by beach umbrellas from early hours. You can still catch the sunset for free though! I’d stay here again Read less

The resort is very big with lots to do whether you want to relax or be active. The proximity to the beach and nearby town is perfect and the property felt very safe. The room was spacious and beautiful but had a slight musty/aquarium smell. Because of the size of the property, it can take a while to walk to the different restaurants and pools but… Read more
The resort is very big with lots to do whether you want to relax or be active. The proximity to the beach and nearby town is perfect and the property felt very safe. The room was spacious and beautiful but had a slight musty/aquarium smell. Because of the size of the property, it can take a while to walk to the different restaurants and pools but it's definitely worth it. The food was yummy at all the restaurants, although we were underwhelmed by the dinner buffet. Overall, a great option for couples and families. Read less

I have great respect and gratitude for the helpfulness and courtesy of the employees of this hotel complex. But I could not get used to the constant dampness and mold smell in my room in 2 weeks (as well as my friends in the neighboring room). I drew the attention of the hotel staff to this, but they could do nothing more than clean the air conditioner filter. However, the mold smell did not stop. All hotel rooms with this smell need to be repaired. Namely, remove all the wooden panels glued to the walls, under which mold accumulates, replace the plasterboard partitions with concrete ones, treat them with a special moisture-resistant coating and cover them with moisture-resistant paint. And I would also recommend replacing the air conditioning system with one that will thoroughly dry the air in the rooms. You need to make arrangements with the room reservation service in advance to ensure that you are provided with a room that does not smell of mold. Read less

Great choice of pools, nice setting by the beach. Local shops to get pool toys and beach accessories if needed. Breakfast buffet was excellent with lovely setting overlooking the beach. But.. reception staff were poor. They completely ignored us when we arrived and we were left standing around waiting for ages to check in. Then when I enquired… Read more
Great choice of pools, nice setting by the beach. Local shops to get pool toys and beach accessories if needed. Breakfast buffet was excellent with lovely setting overlooking the beach. But.. reception staff were poor. They completely ignored us when we arrived and we were left standing around waiting for ages to check in. Then when I enquired about the gym opening times they gave very different times to the ones printed on the gym door which was a bit annoying. And finally on check out they processed an amount on my credit card that was three times the size of our actual bill, luckily I checked the receipt carefully. The refund will take two weeks and it felt like this was perhaps a common practice scam, hoping overseas tourists just won’t notice. A disappointing end to what had been a nice stay. Read less
