Katathani Resort is beautiful. The property is amazing with a great vibe. Beautiful beach. Has easy access to some stores in walking distance although it’s not close to the nightlife entertainment.

room was clean and the staff were very gracious, but checkout was ridiculously long. We waited over a half an hour while they checked one couple in to the hotel while we were checking out and literally all we needed to do was drop our key and sign the bill. also, one thing you know, Phuket is very crowded. We went on the shoulder season not even high season, but it was very crowded. Lots of traffic.

The breakfast buffet was amazing! Great stay! Great beach. Wonderful stay. Across the street from the hotel you can find some restaurants a couple shops and massage spas but generally the area is all for this hotel. A more lively area would be up the road at Kata Beach. However it’s a short walk or a short Grab ride. This area is better for kids. The resort has plenty to do and really caters to you if you have kids. They have babysitting service as well.

Our room was always clean and perfect temperature. The staff were very responsive and helpful and nice. The breakfast was excellent with many options and great service. The beach was wonderful and the hotel has easy access. The amenities were great especially the option of doing your own laundry. The kid pools and activity centers were fantasy to give our kids options. We will definitely stay here again.

We didn’t love our stay at the Katathani Resort.

While the staff were lovely, kind, and always smiling, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The resort’s location is very remote — there’s not much within easy walking distance — and to make matters worse, there was heavy construction right outside the property. Any time we wanted to walk anywhere, we had to pass through huge, muddy construction puddles. It was really unpleasant.

Our room smelled musty from the moment we arrived, and the beds were unbelievably hard — the pool loungers were actually softer than the mattress.

We spent most of our time at the adult pool, which had several signs asking for quiet and relaxation, but unfortunately this wasn’t enforced. There were groups of young people yelling and playing loudly while staff didn’t intervene at all.

After three days, we honestly couldn’t wait to leave. The surrounding Kata/Karon area is similar to other parts of Phuket, so you can easily find a better resort elsewhere and probably enjoy your stay much more.

Despite contacting the hotel before hand they were not able to be flexible with my check-in time and made me wait to the exact minute check-in started. There is no way they didn't have at least one room ready and refused to switch my room with another that was already ready. This is a budget hotel behavior. They also restricted the settings of the AC in the hotel room like a low end hotel. The floors in the room were not clean and the breakfast was worse compared to other similar resorts I have stayed at in Phuket.

Sixth stay - great for couples and families

This is our sixth stay at katathani over 10 years. We have seen the resort change and improve over the years but the basic characteristics are the same: a very large resort along a beach which is almost predominantly used by hotel guests with a number of small restaurants and shops on the outside of the resort and 5 or six within the resort. We came originally as a couple and now we have three children and it is still brilliant.

Don’t Go There!

The hotel is huge, overcrowded, and far from everything.
Distances between areas are enormous! It was never mentioned that there are two separate lobbies. I specifically requested two adjoining rooms with a sea view (traveling with my kids, which is very important), yet we were given rooms facing buildings in the second lobby, across the road and far from the sea.
The hotel is 1.5 hours from the airport, an hour from the city center, and even within the property, everything is a long walk – the dining hall feels like a trek.
The information on the website is extremely misleading, with no hint of this reality. On top of that, all the nearby restaurants belong to the hotel.
Very disappointed!

Our room was very clean with amazing views of the beach. There is an adult pool and multiple kid friendly pools. The beach was lovely and also very well maintained. Since it is on the west coast we were able to see some amazing sunsets! There are many different options for food and drinks and everything was reasonably priced. Highly recommend this resort!

A beautiful property, great staff and a beachfront that isn’t technically private but feels like it. Over our ten days saw perhaps ten people on it. Some restaurants closed for renovation which we were not notified of when booking. Other than that will stay again. Great staff. Not much to do in walking distance to property but lots within a short drive which was fine. Will be back next year

The external parts of the report is fantastic, the pools were amazing as was access to the beach. Sadly our room wasn’t up to scratch. It smelled very damp and musty to the point where I struggled to sleep on the first night. We asked for a room change and one was offered, 4 rooms away and the problem was just as bad. So we decided to stay put. In hindsight I should have asked to be moved again but I wonder if the whole resort has the same issue. We were given a fruit platter as an apology and on checkout, we noticed all rooms near us were being aired and deep cleaned. Phuket was amazing but sadly I won’t return to this resort. It is listed as 5 star but more like a 3 star for the room

A significant amount of the hotel was under re-development, most mornings we had to queue for between 15 and 20 minutes for breakfast. Lighting near the Andaman wing was poor and I nearly fell into the adult pool that was under construction.
We were also delayed in Dubai and were placed into the Copthorne Dubai Airport that has to be one of the most disgusting hotels that I have ever had to check in to. During this stay I had to request basic toiletries (shaving and dental equipment) from the reception desk. As a consequence we lost 1 days stay at the Katathani, Between the state of the Katathani and the Copthorne Dubai Airport I struggled to decide which was the worse hotel. Other guests that were delayed by 2.0 hours were offered a free meal at the Katathani - we were nearly 24 hours late and were offered a voucher for a bowl of fruit !!
I expected higher standards from both the Katathani after staying their previously, I also expected to be treated more fairly by Emirates and Expedia.
We missed a special 60th Birthday for my cousin who was very unforgiving and I have not spoken to since as a result of this delay.
Given how this situation was handles by Emirates and the hotel my guess is that Expedia will also ignore this review despit me handing over £3700 for the holiday

Kathatani Beach Resort and Spa Hotel (1 and 2) covers such a large expanse of beach front that guests have the luxury of just lounging by their many lovely pools with an ocean view or at the actual large expanse of beach itself with an ‘exclusive beach’ feel to it. The hotel itself is clean and lovely—and the breakfast buffet is amazing!

While the grounds are lovely, room spacious and pools across the resort offer great choice there were some elements that made the stay less than what we had expected. Check in was lengthy and required a room move for part of our family. We were not aware that different room types were in different buildings so even though the booking had same name and we communicated about travelling with family and requesting allocation near the rest of our party> we weren't advised until check in that rooms would be in different buildings. The various opening times of restaurants and pool bars with gaps in food availability especially with young children made it frustrating at times. We only learned a few days in that the bistro was the only place to order between 4h30 and 6h30pm. The beach- while seemingly part of the resort has a charge for beach chairs as it looks to be operated by outside vendors. not a major issue as there are chairs close by on resort grounds grass but just be aware that you need to pay for chairs on the beach itself.

A little paradise in Phuket

This place is a little paradise in Phuket. Kata Noi is probably the best beach in the area as it is not as crowded as others, allowing you to fully enjoy the sea and the beach. Many restaurants in the Resort, obviously they are much more expensive than any independent restaurants outside the hotel, but you pay for comfort and the view. Nice and friendly staff.

Absolutely loved our stay at Katathani. A little slice of heaven. Clean, plenty of pool options, beautiful beach, great facilities, wonderful friendly staff for the most part. We only had breakfast included for our stay, which was amazing, and ventured out for most dinners - very easy to do by the many Tuk Tuk’s in the street near the resort. We ate lunch poolside a bit, which was definitely on the expensive side but that’s to be expected inside the hotel.

My only slight flaw would be the massage and hair ladies poolside - quite grumpy, rude and not as accommodating as all of the other staff we encountered. It was like it was an imposition for us to be there. Other than that, very much recommend Katathani.

Very positive: besides the beauty, cleanness and excellent service, the hotel restaurants offer good options for all kinds of pockets.
Small problem, not very important: lack of imagination on the breakfast, too basic for this kind of hotel.
Most important problem: the dirtiness in the beach. Really unbearable! The hotel not should, MUST take care of the beach since is the most important advertising for staying here.
