Katathani Phuket Beach Resort Reviews

This resort has it all. You could stay here for 10 days and not need to leave the resort. So many activities and beautiful pools, as well as a beautiful beach footsteps from your room. Rooms are clean, cool and comfortable.

What a beautiful resort the room 5 stars .
The staff are so welcoming and accommodating and the buffet breakfast was absolutely wonderful.
The pools are beautiful and well looked after and all amenities available are great as well .
Would recommend to anyone to stay there and already have ,

I have stayed here before and it did not disappoint again. The service at this resort is second to none....just amazing. The are 6 pools and an amazing beach to swim at. I stayed in the Thani wing which is my preferred choice but if you are traveling with kids, go to the Bhuri wing as there is a lot more activities for them down that way.

Our party of 14 had an amazing 10 nights stay. Beautiful restaurants, great pool side service, 6 pools to laze around, no request too big or small. Great location away from busy busy (and smelly) Patong.

Everything was so easy even Jetstar was on time!!

Relaxing
Great location
Lovely people
Good value
Do as much as you want(women)
or just relax(men)

Staff, facilities, location and accommodation all absolutely stunning

Such a great resort, many pools, massage garden, great restaurants and games room.
The staff are very efficient and friendly.
The TukTuk drivers out the front are very knowledgeable of the area and reasonably priced.
Popular surf beach at the front and family, Childrens area at the end of the resort.
The only improvement to be made would be the Pool Bars.
A lot more drinks/ food would have been purchased if the staff walked around to take orders.
Overall a great holiday deal.

Great, family of five in two rooms connected, really enjoyed our stay, Service was fantastic!

Friendly people who have genuine smiles, care and interest in you. I know that people in tourist areas need our support, these gracious people just don't treat you as a wallet. Highly recommend the resort, Kata and surrounding areas. We were treated so well by our No.1 driver, Nom who drove us everywhere.

Great resort, clean and the people always with a smile polite and make you welcome.

This was our first time staying at Katathani wow blew us away with the about of green space ,so many pools beach frontage mountain surrounds and spoilt for dining options breakfast at right infront of the ocean and sunsets were our highlights,thank you to all staff for their friendly no trouble at all services

From the location situated on one of the world's most pristine beaches, to the room quality and most friendly and attentive staff, I cannot recommend Katathani Phuket beach resort enough!

The resort never feels too crowded with 6 pools to choose from and the diverse buffet breakfast was a big hit with our family.

Will definitely return!

Lovely relaxing holiday. Quiet with no traffic through. Safe for our kids to be able to walk around without us.
Resort is amazing with so many different things to appeal to anyone.
Beach has white soft sand and perfect temperature for swimming.
Nice variety of pools to choose from.
Buffet breakfast was delicious, many different restaurants at the resort and on the street.
Only negative was the tv in our room didn't work that well but we had our devices to watch at night.
Outdoor kids movies.
Plenty of lounges to sit by the pools
Throughly enjoyed my afternoon cocktails with the live music.
Can't wait to go back again.

Cocktails in front of the private beach watching the sun set every afternoon was a highlight.
Pam from the deck area was very attentive and always greeted us with a beautiful smile.
Pla and Chart ensured our stay was hassle free and went out of their way to check in with us throughout our 2 week stay. We will definitely be back to see our Katathani family

This was our 4th time staying here and it just keeps getting better! They were doing renovations while we were there but it did not impact on our stay at all. They are very considerate and well it needs to be done so I have no complaints at all. The staff are always willing to go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. We didn't have the best weather but it is the chance you take in October. Overall we love it here and we will be back for visit number 5!!

The resort was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The location of the resort in relation to the beach and pool was excellent, no roads to cross, just a short walk, 50m, from our room. the beach was beautiful and clean, unfortunatley because of the wet season it was to rough for swimming, but it didnt matter as there are 5 pools to choose from to cool down in within the resort, most next to the beach. Rooms where very clean and tidy. Service was outstanding nothing was ever a bother. Dining within the resort was ok we did find some good dining options just next door and accross the road from the resort. Overall a great place to go for a very relaxing holiday, we are a couple but it would be fantastic for young families.

Amazing resort and service!!!

This resort was Absolute beachfront and had many pools, bars and restaurants. Plus activities for the whole family to play and relax. Would definitely stay there again!

Enjoyed our stay

Our family and friends group, which included teenage boys, enjoyed our stay at this huge resort. We barely left the Bhuri Wing where our room was located as it had everything we needed. The pool in that wing was a great size, with some deep parts which we appreciated. The pool water was a little warm, however I'm not sure how they can solve this with the hot Thai weather. Staff were fab and there were lots of them available at all times. It is located on a small beach with a few choices for restaurants nearby which were enough for us.

An amazing resort for everyone of all ages but particularly for those with young children with amazing facilities for kids including water play park, outdoor play area and fantastic kids club. The food was great and with 6 pools, mini golf, pétanque, chess, gyms etc etc there is always something to do - or do nothing at all and enjoy massages by the pool! The room was a bit dated but very comfortable, cleaned daily and spacious so not much to complain about. The beachfront location is amazing but you’ll need to take a taxi or tuk tuk which are readily available out front to the action but the street out front has restaurants, massage, 7 Eleven etc so you don’t really need to leave the area if you don’t want to. This is an awesome resort and we will definitely be back!

A fantastic stay very helpful staff, cleaners do a great job, we were well looked after.

Our stay at your resort was exceptional.
Rooms, Staff and service was second to none.
Great variety of dining choices both inside and outside the resort.
Great facilities for young families.
Only negative was the need to always use transport to experience a variety of local shopping and night life.

Service was excellent and location for us was ideal. A little away from the night life(which we prefer), but, an easy enough walk into Kata or Karon. The only disappointment was the rubbish being washed up by the heavy surf - Kata did look like this in Feb 2018 when waves are non existent. Food was good and plentiful but certainly not al-a-carte. All in all though, a great stay and will definitely be returning.

We booked our 7 nights with travelonline.com at Katathani Beach Resort and couldn’t have been happier. We were there with family aged from 7 months through to 52 and it was perfect for all of us. Katathani Beach Resort is very private at the end of a road so no passing traffic comes through. The beach is very private, clean and beautifully maintained by staff. We had buffet breakfasts every day (included in price of stay) and ate locally at restaurants which are all within walking distance to resort. The pools (6 or 7 of them!!) were awesome and you will not find more caring, thoughtful staff. Rooms are a tiny bit tired but don’t let that put you off staying here. Katathani Beach Resort 10/10

Had a wonderful stay & totally met all our expectations. Would thoroughly recommend & look forward to staying again in the future.

will be back

it was abit far drive after a long flight with the kids 4 and 6 but once you were there it was amazing and you would have to leave this area. Great holiday

Thank you we had a lovely room with great views and location.
The staff were very friendly and hospitable.

Thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday at Katathani Phuket Beach Resort. Travelled with small children and they had a great time, as did we. We had a junior suite and the rooms are in need of a little updating as they're becoming dated and there's a fair bit of wear of tear occuring. Other than that, the resort incredible. So many dining options, and quality of the food was A+ at the majority of the restaurants. Resort facilities such as the pools and kids club were a hit. So many pools to choose from, the kids were never bored. The water park and kids club were winners. And the sunsets were just perfect....every single night. We got the full board meal plan package which was handy but the voucher system they employ to track meals is clunky at best. Could be something they look at in the future. The daily allowance for each adult was 850 baht for each lunch and dinner, in the end, we struggled to spend that allowance for each meal as the prices for individual meals were reasonable and we didn't eat that much at each meal anyway. I wouldn't get the meals package if we went again. Day Spa was divine and nanny service was helpful. Loved the resort and the staff were so friendly and helpful! kob-khun ka!

Need to get taxi to go shopping, otherwise a nice quiet spot. Security, house keeping, breakfast and buffet meals were good at the resort.

!

Fabulous location, great amenities with enough to keep kids entertained. Despite the number of guests it accommodates it didn’t feel crowded or busy.

Absolutely brilliant resort. Had a Grand Seaview Room. Brilliant size compared to most resorts that we have stayed at. 50 metres from room to beach or Adults pool area.

Staff were always polite, especially the breakfast room staff.
Very quiet area of Phuket, but only 35 minutes by car to Patong.

We highly recommend this resort and look forward to staying again.
This was the second time that we have stayed in Katathani owned resort in Thailand.

Thank you Katathani Phuket Beach Resort for a wonderful stay.

We stayed in a Grand Deluxe room type which was perfect for our family. The room was a great size, clean and had everything we needed. We had a couple of minor issues on arrival which were resolved within minutes by housekeeping. The room was always serviced to a high standard. We were very close to kids facilities (pool, splash pad, games room and kids club). Breakfast service at the restaurant was fantastic. The resort is massive, making up most of the Kata Noi region. The beach is great for swimming as long as you stick between the flags. Would highly recommend this resort!

Absolutely brilliant resort for families. On an amazing beach, great food options, little stores nearby for snacks etc. We would definitely love to go back there.

Really thought that the location was great for a family holiday and will return. We had one minor issue with the fridge in the room but only minor.
Facilities for children were particularly good.

Enjoyed our stay. We found the resort a lovely setting, very relaxing and a good escape during the winter months to get away from the cold. Staff were excellent and very helpful.

Absolutely loved this resort. Only wish it was a bit closer to home.

Great location

Our family of 5, 2 adults , children aged 13, 11 and 18 months had the most wonderful relaxing interesting holiday at the Katathani Resort. The staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. Also with 6 pools including a kids water park and numerous restaurants in and out of the resort meant we were always entertained and never bored. It was great being out of the busy parts of Phuket. Loved it!

We can not fault this place at all.
Staff are very friendly and happy. You feel nothing but safe here. Very easy to get about and organise trips.
We will be back

This is an excellent family resort for all ages. Great water park for small children, plenty of pools for everyone, well catered games room and kids club and the food was excellent. Can't go wrong with this resort.

This was our second stay at Katathani and it was fabulous once again. The resort is beautifully maintained, clean and in a very private, quiet location. Great for kids and families. The beach is safe and clean. The breakfast buffet in the Thani wing has a wide selection and there are also a few restaurants just outside the hotel which serve good quality, well priced meals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katathani and hope I get the chance to stay there again.

We enjoyed our time at Kathatani resort.

Fantastic location with easy access to very clean, uncrowded beach. A little further from airport but perfect sanctuary to avoid crowds yet still within walking distance from Kata or tuk-tuk to Karon and Patong. Great selection of dining options both within resort and close by. Manicured gardens and lots of pools/bars to choose from (some kid free!)
Junior Suites perfect for couples. A little well-loved but clean due to daily service.
Beautiful friendly staff. Overall - 9.5/10. Will be going back!

The resort exceeded our expectations. Such a beautifully kept resort, and the staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was lovely. We will definitely be coming back to stay again.

We had a restful and happy stay, the staff were great and went above and beyond the call of duty ever expected, we had a phone left in a taxi which was tracked down and returned with a smile many hours after it was lost.
The views were great from our Oceanside room. The location was only a few minutes from the main streets of Kata beach and beyond, so no noisy streets and traffic to disrupt the sound of peace at the resort. Really you do not need to leave this lovely place.
Sunsets, cocktails by the water and a great place to enjoy a holiday.
The only resort we could see on its own private beach and with all the facilities you needed to have a lovely stay.
Just be careful of the beach, can be a bit rough in low season from monsoons, always warm and inviting though.
Definately going back again.

This is a great Hotel well serviced by the plentiful staff which operate throughout the resort. there are great facilities and the food was all excellent. overall a great family holiday destination.

Relaxing holiday. The only negatives were - breakfast variety not as good as the Moevenpick. Nurse on duty unfriendly and unhelpful, she just did not want to be there!!

Beautiful location, facilities. Great service. Truly relaxing

This trip was our third time in Phuket, so we thought we'd try the Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, after reading reviews and seeing it's location. The beach front location is beautiful, there is nothing better than hearing the sound of the waves crashing. The staff are lovely, warm, welcoming and will do anything for you.

Unfortunately, that's where the positivity ended. We stayed in a Grand Suite in the Thani Wing and were 2 adults and 2 children. Upon first inspections the room was clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. However, you can not open the doors to the balcony to enjoy this view, as the inside of the room gets very wet. The porcelain tiles throughout the entire apartment become very wet and very slippery. The air conditioning could not be turned to warmer, so was freezing during the night. The pillows on the beds needed to be replaced, probably 4 years ago. They were lumpy and had lost any sort of shape or support.

The three restaurants we tried at the resort, left us underwhelmed. The staff at the poolside bar were great and the complimentary banana chips were a nice touch.

Overall, there are far better options in Phuket. After 3 nights of a planned 10 night stay, we moved to the Movenpick Resort, where we stayed the year before. The staff at Travel Online specifically Kimberley Sheldrick and Michelle McGregor, and Jonothan at the Katathani were all amazing at accommodating our request to move resorts. We were charged 1 nights cancellation fee, which I thought was completely reasonable under the circumstances.

Food in general for breakfast was very good, however the night that we ate at Chom Talay Roast night was very poor. The beef wellington that i was served was minus the beef, pastry and pate only. Price for meal was double what we paid for outside of the venue, of course not the same menu, but value for money, overpriced for what we had for dinner given the quality.
The buffet meals that we selected were all nearing cold and as a result thought that they may not be as food is served at a minimum temperature. My wife and I ran a B&B for 12 years and our food handling training maintained food to be hot, not bordering on cold.
We found this to be the same on all of the buffet meals that were part of packages, a little daunting when chicken and rice are 2 items where food can spoil.

Ground and surrounds and the beach were great, very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, spacious and clean. There was plenty to do for the kids with the new water playground recently opened and other activities at the kids club. The beach and pools where also nice and clean. The food quality was average and we also had a bit of an issue with the noise level next door. It seems that the room next to us was being renovated and we had called front desk about it but never heard back from them. The noise did stop after a few days.
We will probably come back to this resort again.

We stayed in a Sea View suite at Katathani for 6 nights in June 2017,we arrived late at night and were checked in smoothly and had no idea what to expect until we opened the curtains the next morning. Wow is all I can say, we were on the 2nd floor overlooking the main pool and the ocean, the room was large and had a very comfy king size bed, fridge and TV. Buffet breakfast included in the price and it was just fabulous, many options to choose from, even a childrens section. I loved the coffee machine where you could make your own latte's, coffee is a big thing for me first thing in the morning and this didn't disappoint. The one thing that did annoy me in this day and age is the Wi-fi not being available in the rooms free of charge, I really don't understand why a resort of this standard could not offer it, a small thing and overall a really wonderful stay.

Stayed many places in Phuket, however this Resort has the best location,on the beautiful beach of Kata Noi
The hotel itself has many restaurants and pools, with a new kids water park attached to the kids club which is great .
All rooms are good and well maintained and presented
I would recommend this Resort to families or
Couples .... you won't be disappointed .

Katathani is a great place to relax, Beautiful beach and pools, And many massage ladies to look after you.
Rooms are nice, A little dated but nice and clean.
Food is also nice and reasonable prices.
Kids club is non existent, Needs to be looked at, It's more like a supervised playground rather than a kids club, If they could get the Kids club right many more families would go to Katathani.
Overall a very nice Resort, If you are not travelling with kids, I strongly recommend you try The Shores section of the Katathani, It's kids free and the rooms and restaurant are fantastic.

I attended a family wedding at the Resort which was very professionally done and lovely. A perfect venue. While the resort is very large, it somehow maintains an intimate feel. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would love to go back.

This was our 4th year at Katathani beach resort, this resort has never looked better from the manacured lawns to the 800 mts of prinstine beach the staff are very attentive and friendly the restaurants at the resort are fantastic .
Thank you Katathani for a great stay we will be back again next year.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Katathani Beach Resort. One of the best things is its location. The exclusive Kata Noi Beach is clean and safe, far superior from the larger and polluted Kata Beach. The resort is beautiful, well maintained and very hygienic. Breakfast was great especially the freshly made omelettes and the staff were helpful and friendly. We stayed in a Grand Suite on the top floor with spectacular ocean views and a good size for a family of 4. Outside the hotel are a number of restaurants which are very good value for money and provided quality meals. I wouldn't hesitate in going back to Katathani.

Had an amazing time at Katathani - I will DEFINITELY be back.

We have just returned from our 3rd wonderful stay at the Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, and cant wait for the day to return once again.
Our family, with 2 boys, stayed in two connecting poolside rooms in the Bhuri wing. Despite other reports, we love this side of the resort, and have stayed on this side on each occassion. It is, IMO, the better side of the resort. We find that it is quieter, not as crowded around the pool, and Breakfast in the Seacret restaurant is definitely not as noisy or busy. It is still close enough to the beach, restaurants, and other pools (should you wish to move around).
The rooms are beautifully presented, and we couldn't fault the housekeeping during our 8 night stay. There is plenty of room, they are tastefully decorated, and well laid out. The bathrooms are clean and tidy with good water pressure and temperature.
The grounds and pools are immaculately maintained, with a lot of pride and effort going into maintaining them.
The food has always been of high quality and well priced - the breakfast buffet is varied and plentiful with lots of choices (love the made to order omelettes). There are plenty of options for dinner also. The Seaside Pizza cafe is great, one of the best pizzas I have had - full of flavour and not at all oily.
We love that The Katathani are always updating and adding to this fantastic resort, and it is great to see the changes each time we return. This year we enjoyed the new Joy Zone in the Bhuri wing. This is a great set up, a nice place to hang out and have a drink, while the kids are playing and having fun.
There is plenty to do in and around the resort. The games rooms are fantastic. We had fun at the Frog Races.
The staff are what make the resort so memorable. They are always fabulous, welcoming, and friendly, and more than happy to assist in any way.
The Katathani has, for us, set a benchmark and expectation for which all other stays are measured against. We have travelled around many areas of Thailand, including several stays in Phuket, Khao Lak, and Krabi areas. We always finish our trip with a stay at the Katathani. We keep on returning as we know we wont be disappointed. My wife said that when we come around the back streets of Kata, up over the hill into Kata Noi she feels a sense of relaxation and being "at home" - I think that sums it up. We love the warm welcome back that we receive. We love our time at the Katathani. We couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much for another memorable holiday, and we look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you too to travelonline for the fantastic deal on the accommodation, which made it all possible.

Just returned from an amazing 7 nights at the Katathani with my husband and 2 children - 8 and 6. Resort was perfect for young families with 4 large pools across the resort and a beatiful beach perfect for young children to play and catch waves. All dining venues were great inside the resort including a great pizza restaurant that did cheap takeaway pizza for you to eat at one of the beach bars during the evening happy hour. There are approx 6 restaurants in the quiet street where the resort is located to add to your restaurant choices all you can catch a tuk tuk over the hill to Kata for 200Baht each way or 300 Baht to Karon. Resort has lots of activities to keep the kids occupied including great pools, a large games room and outdoor chess games. Resort has free kids club which we used for an hour here or there but nothing to rave about - kids were bored quite quickly but good option when you need them to have a break from the pool.

Staff were very friendly, room very clean although the furniture a little worn. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Would visit again.

.

Resort was great, service at the resort was first rate. All the staff were super helpful and very friendly. Rooms were lovely with great views. We used 4 out of 5 pools and all were clean and beautiful. Food in the resort was average except for breakfast, but restaurants outside the resort and nearby are excellent and very cheap.

The best family holiday experience you could wish for.
When they say "Welcome to the shores of serenity" that's the perfect description of the resort, peaceful and relaxing.
Our teenage daughters were completely safe to swim and explore the resort on their own. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping markets on your doorstep.
We have visited 3 times and will be going back again!

This was our 3rd stay at Katathani the junior sweet facing the ocean is fantastic,the grounds are beautiful great friendly service and the food in the restaurants is very good, will return next year for the 4th year in a row, love it.

Resort gardens are immaculately maintained and the view from our room was superb
Room however needed to be inspected for minor problems ie sticking doors.
This being our 2nd visit, we noticed that it appears to be now geared towards Asian guests., especially the breakfasts.

We have been here before and enjoyed our stay - great facilities and service. However we noticed this time that the hotel is looking tired and run down and the cost of food/drinks/service is increasing, the beach sand was bee clean but the water was full of rubbish. Won't be rushing back.

We're already planning our next trip

Beautiful clean and blue beach. Room and buffet breakfast were average at best. Taxis charge more than required as you have no other choice but to walk a while to anything.

A great resort for a family holiday. Close enough to get the feeling of Phuket but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Patong and Kata. The beach here is beautiful with few hawkers trying to sell, ocean is clear and nice to swim in, be careful of the rips, and they have a lifeguard on duty. Lots of different pools to enjoy if you don't want to venture far from the resort. Staff always friendly and obliging. Food is okay in resort, they do have a few places just outside for eating and generally very good. Overall highly recommended for a flop and drop, do nothing holiday!!

Great resort on the best beach in the area - but it is the staff that make this resort.

Katathani is a 4* resort with a 5* location...the grounds are wonderful and very well kept..staff are always smiling and friendly. Their buffet breakfast is one of the best we've ever experienced. This is our fourth time there and we love opening the curtains every morning and seeing ocean, sand and palm trees staring back at us ??

This is the 2nd time our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) have stayed at this resort in 5 years and we would go back again! It's relaxing and love that you can go out of the complex and there are other options around, ie. restaurants, laundry is able to be washed and folded for next day pickup at very low cost which is fantastic! Only 20 minutes by tuktuk or airconditioned car to main shopping in Patong or 5-10 mins from Kata & Karon for huge choice of restaurants.

Food was great, loved the beach so close, room was newly renovated so paint fumes quite bad but staff happily accommodated us and helped make more comfortable.
location is good too.

I loved the location of this resort -away from the hustle and bustle - but still only a short tuk tuk ride away from the action

My partner and myself found the Katathani to be exceptional, we had a fantastic time.

All the staff were so attentive and helpful, full of smiles and nothing was ever an issue. The grounds to the resort were always being maintained and looked picture perfect. Room was fantastic with clear views of the beautiful blue ocean from the bedroom. Great options of food in the restaurants, and plenty more options outside the front of the resort. It is going to be hard to find a place that beats this one!

This is the second time we've stayed at the Katathani. It is a lovely resort for families and the beach is in a quiet part of Phuket but still close to a town. Ideal location really. Seas were rough when we were there this time but in the past the beach has been the highlight for us. It isn't a 5 star resort but met our needs perfectly.

Our 2nd stay and we enjoyed it as much as the first time.

Possibly the best overall package resort on the island. Great beach, great location, good services.
Not to far from the action but far enough away to feel comfortable with your family. Highly recommend if you are traveling to Phuket.

Great location on clean surf beach..

Great place to chill and relax. Very family friendly. Staff are very accommodating

Excellent place to stay ticks the box for all aspects.

Fantastic location, great place to relax and swim in one of the pools or beach

This resort is outstanding. Beautiful beach, immaculate gardens. clean and comfortable rooms. great restaurants, lots for the kids to do, great swimming pools and very helpful and friendly staff. massages, manicures and pedicures available while relaxing around the pool. Would definitely go back again its a paradice.

Great place to stay missing being there already .
Kind staff nothing to much trouble all done with a
great smile. Good food and drinks and lovely pools
and grounds to laze in comfort. We would love to go back again

We went in September and found the weather perfect and the resort quiet while still close to everything needed. The whole holiday far exceeded expectations. This resort is perfect for couples, familys or weddings. One of the few places that has great beach frontage.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would stay
there again if the opportunity arises. Impeccable
service by dedicated staff.

A great resort. Really happy with the service. Great location with a great beach front.

This is one of the few points that you can relax and enjoy without crowd.
