Disappointing

Jul 15, 2025 Sophie T Brussels, Belgium

We did not enjoy our stay as our room was damp and smelled musty. All our clothes and belongings stayed damp our whole time there. Check in and out was unpleasant because the staff were reluctant to include the items in our package. There was noisy building work inside our building throughout our stay.

Coupon Hell

This is an enormous hotel, which is well run on a beautiful beach. Most of the staff especially the manager at the buffet restaurant were gracious, patient and helpful. The hotel very kindly transferred a booking to another night when I messed the date up. On the downside, this is the worst hotel I ever stayed at in terms of its vegetarian food. You’re lucky if there is more than one option at any restaurant. As an example the only options outside of the salad bar at the buffet restaurant one evening was couscous and beans. The other night we ate there, I was reduced to scraping the dried remnants of a veg stir fry (the only option) from the serving pan. I had to use a knife. Taking into account that the cost of the buffet was 800 baht or over £20 when tax and service are added - this is unacceptable. I’d caution any vegetarians from staying/eating here. In contrast the hotel goes to great lengths to provide high end meat dishes, with imported high end ingredients. It doesn’t cost much to cater for vegetarians - just a bit of creativity from the chefs and an executive chef that has a loose understanding of global food trends. Worse still is the system of coupons. This horror show is like being placed back in the 1980’s at an early Spanish AI hotel. Basically, if you on a full board basis, you have a 4 page paper book,that has to be taken everywhere. A family of four will get one book. You hand it in to the staff before your meal or at happy hour. We were a family of 14 in different rooms on different deals. At happy hour where cocktails were free for an hour, we would hand in our coupon books to the over run bar staff. Sometimes we would get our book back - sometimes not. Sometimes, we would get our other family members books - sometimes they would get ours. Inevitably chaos ensued later in the evening at dinner. It would sometimes take 20 minutes of explanations, calls to reception to resolve. It was stressful for the staff and miserable for us - sometimes ruining an evening. This happened at least once a day. Its 2025. Give your staff an iPad and spend 50 k on an hotel management system Read less

As a kathatani gold meber and after 4-5 consecutive years of bringing my family here I think this will be the last. First and foremost, the staff are truly amazing people alwats smiling and welcoming. Secondly, the property is in amazing location, however what's the point of having a beach froont resort if the beach is always closed. Yes I undestand undercurrent and rips, but the last 4 days here is the swell has been less then the 2 feet with minimal under currentts - we always end up goint to Kata or Karon Beach where you can actually swim the in th ocea. The above all said, this is the most dispaointing thing now about a once truly well run and managed resort - the food and beverage operations. It's border line deigraceful and not even 2 star experince Take tonight for exmaple, I have just left my famoly at a reaturant that has 12 Pax inside afer waiting more then 20 mins for entree - I have instead ordered grab. Last night we dined off site because restaurants we try to book in are either fully booked OR you have to dine at a buffet reaturant where the majority of food options are empty or non existant with long lines. Once again we left early and went outside the resort to eat. Whoever is in charge of food and beverage operations needs to review the entire approach beacuse I can tell you as seasoned travller who has visted the resort 4-5 consecutive years, and Phuket 30+ times in 15 years the operations has gone backwards dramatically. Personally, its a real shame beacuse my family have always loved this resport and had a close association with the poperty, but next year we will look at other options that can provide food and beverage operatiosn that meet basic standards. We still have two nights left here and I have booked lunches and dinners at alternatie venues it is that bad here. What was once a jewel in the crown of Phuket, is now a proprty I could not recommeend anymore given basic restaurfant requirements cannot be met resulting in diing off site - defeats the purpose of an "all inclusoin package" Read less

Katathani Phuket Beach Resort is an exceptional choice for families. Set across both sides of the road along the entire stretch of Kata Noi Beach, the resort is massive—yet thoughtfully designed to feel relaxed and easy to navigate. We stayed in the Thani Wing, which is ideal for families. Our interconnecting rooms were spacious, spotless, and very well-appointed. The bathrooms were excellent, and we loved the bonus of a lounge and TV area for downtime. The complimentary bottled water replaced daily was a small but thoughtful touch. The resort has a wide range of pools and quiet zones, perfect for kids to explore and unwind. There are also plenty of restaurants throughout the property, although a few were undergoing renovations during our stay. For convenience, the Melon Shop in the lobby was a lifesaver—well-stocked and reasonably priced, with costs comparable to nearby convenience stores. Beyond the resort, there’s a small local “high street” with independent shops, restaurants, and massage spots, all within easy walking distance. For those looking to experience more of Phuket, I highly recommend venturing outside the resort too—there are fantastic hidden gems up the hill and along the main street. Breakfast at Seacret was good, but gets very busy after 9am. An earlier visit is much more relaxed. One note: the layout of the buffet could use some improvement (e.g. toasters and bread being in separate areas, juice glasses very small, utensils hard to find), but these were minor quirks in an otherwise excellent offering. Overall, this resort offers a fantastic family-friendly experience in a calm, secluded bay away from the bustle of other tourist hubs. We had a great time and would happily return! Read less

Amazing hotel and staff

Jun 28, 2025 Morten3001 Copenhagen, Denmark

This place is amazing, the staff is sweet and helpful and the service level is great. The room I lived in was great, both the size and facilities was working perfectly and it was really nice to have 6 different restaurants, so you had a broad variety of food choices. If you want a real good relaxing holiday this hotel is perfect.
