Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

A perfect setting the pool access was fantastic would have been a bit nicer to be further away from childrens area and the toilets as you could smell them but overall a great stay. The only other criticism I can make as a solo traveller was that the breakfast staff weren't very attentive

We're wrapping up a 9 night stay, and we're happy we gave it a go - 2 adults, 3 kids aged between 11-14 - although I'm not sure we'll be back. We stayed in the Vhari wing (which is the newest of the 3 wings). The Vhari wing is modern and vibrant, with a sea-creature theme everywhere. Even the hanging light in our room is a jellyfish, female staff wear jellyfish hair ties, there are roving costume-clad staff at breakfast ... The wing is aimed at little kids (under 10), and its chaotic, like a giant daycare on sugar. It's not cheap to stay here, so I'd like to say I enjoyed it more, but it was too cartoon-ish for our kids. And we got really tired of little kids running into us as we tried to carefully navigate prams, dirty nappies and toddlers to get to the slides. Families snagged all loungers early, and we never found a free lounger in our 9 days. The Thani wing, which is on the beach-side of the resort, was more teen-appropriate and we gravitated to that area. Theres no slides like the Vhari wing, but it's calmer, with cleaner swimming pools, loads of free loungers, and its right next to beautiful Kata Noi beach. Don't be fooled by anyone who says its 2-3 min walk anywhere in this resort. The resort is so massive, it takes 10 mins to walk anywhere in the resort if you want to leave your wing. If you go to one of the 3 lobbies, you can ask for a golf cart ride back to your lobby. There are a few good dining options if you want to leave the resort. There is a road that runs through the centre of the resort, separating the wings (its not busy - its a dead-end), and on the road there is a 7-11, helpful phamacy, a couple of small souvenir shops, and a few restaurants all begging for business. I can highly recommend Ta Restaurant down a lane near 7-11, Siam Smile, and Sabai Corner which is a 10 min taxi up the hill overlooking the bay. All have much better prices than the resort, with delicious food, and friendly service. If we came back, we'd avoid the Vhari wing - our kids have outgrown that phase.

We check in with Aery she help us find the room very nice and helpful

We stay in 1329 the room very nice , Aery receptionist very helpful

I booked the Vhari Wing at Katathani, and honestly, I got lucky right from check-in. I met Freshy and Tina, who were incredibly warm and went out of their way to help me book a table for breakfast with an ocean view - because the restaurant in the Vhari part doesn't have one. They managed to get us a spot on our third morning, and it was totally worth it. I asked them tons of questions like how we could still enjoy the hotel facilities after checkout - they answered everything with a smile. Freshy also set up a bunk bed in our room, and my daughter absolutely loved it. She slept on her own for the first time ever at this hotel and slept like a dream. If I ever come back to Phuket, I’m staying here again. No question.

Great fun had by all, especially the kids. Thank you all!

Had an amazing experience at Katathani resort. We stayed in the Grand Deluxe room at the Bhuri wing, away from the chaos of the Vhari wing but within steps to all the activities the Resort had to offer. My kids enjoyed thouroughly, the beach the waterpark at Vhari wing was amazing, we stayed 3 nights and not once did we leave the Resort. ME-O at the bhuri reception was very accomodating, she made our stay hassle free. Great resort, people with children should visit for sure.

Thank you to every staff member we came across. You were showing care and personal interest in your guests. The resort, while large, was easily accessed using buggies. The food choices were numerous and having pics of each menu item made choosing a little easier. We loved the higher end restaurants of La Scala and The Shore, and the roses as we left was a special touch. Breakfast was a wide variety of dishes catering to many cultures. It was organised chaos, but it didn't take long to manage your preferences. Our pool view room was just perfect, and we really appreciated the care shown by staff to accommodate my lack of mobility. All in all we loved our stay at Katathani and would recommend it highly. Our holiday with you was special.

Good food, maybe lacking fresh juices , but I guess it would the fall into more expensive category. Great territory and friendly staff. Especially Mr. Shevket at the reception who showed us around and helped solved a few issues.

We had a wonderful stay at Katathani Resort. The hotel is clean, well maintained, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Our swim-up room was definitely worth it and made the stay extra enjoyable. The pool facilities are excellent, especially for families. There is plenty of variety with swimming pools, water slides, a lazy river, and a wave pool, so there is always something to do for both children and adults. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection and was a great start to each day. Housekeeping did an excellent job, keeping the room spotless every day. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist. We also made use of the hotel’s taxi service, which was reliable and convenient. Overall, a fantastic family-friendly resort with great facilities, excellent service, and a relaxing atmosphere. We would happily stay here again.

We had the most amazing week at Katathani Beach Resort. The rooms were lovely and clean, well appointed and we loved our balcony. The resort is huge with lots of different pools to try, the restaurants food was absolutely delicious and the staff so beautiful and friendly. The gyms well appointed and great to work off all the food and drinks! There are a few massage shops nearby to get a traditional Thai massage which we did daily. We loved our trip so much we plan to return next year.

We have just arrived at Katathani Phuket Beach Resort after a long trip, and our experience has been very disappointing. The main reason we booked this hotel was to stay right on the beachfront. However, when we arrived, we were informed that our Family Room was located in the Bhuri Wing, which is across the road from the beach. At no point during the booking process was it made clear that some room categories are located separately from the beachfront section of the resort. When we explained that we specifically booked this hotel for its beachfront location and asked whether we could be moved to a room on the beach side, the staff immediately told us that no rooms were available until the following month, without offering any alternatives or showing any willingness to assist. The advertising gives the impression that guests are booking a beachfront resort experience, which is misleading when certain room categories are actually located across a public road. Guests should be clearly informed of this before making a reservation. To make matters worse, we found used soap left in the bathroom upon arrival. This is unacceptable from a hygiene perspective and raises serious concerns about the cleanliness standards of the hotel. Overall, this has been a very disappointing start to our holiday. If I could give this hotel 0 stars, I would, but unfortunately that is not an option. Based on our experience so far, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a genuine beachfront resort experience.

It is one the best hotels we have ever stayed in. My kids absolutely loved it. Vhari Wong has got amazing water rides and kids had an absolute blast. They did not have any option for Indian veg food in breakfast so that was little issue. Rest of all absolutely amazing hotel

The hotel very good. The receptionist team are good are Honey Henry Com and Timmy.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 36th anniversary, and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The resort is right on the beach, with plenty of chairs for just sitting and relaxing and watching the beautiful turquoise blue-green waves. Our room was a junior suite room, which fronted the pool and the ocean. We did not do the all inclusive option. But we did add-on breakfast, which was a great decision. There were so many foods choices and all were delicious. We did eat a couple of meals in resort restaurants, but then we also ate in the town. We live in Thailand so we did not take any tours or do any touristy things. This beach resort is perfect if you just want to stay in one place and relax. There are Thai restaurants and a Mini mart nearby, and a couple of small souvenirs shops, but not much else right near the resort.

Hotel facilities are great, staff is very friendly and helpful in every facilities we visited, Saya teppanyaki was fun and food was amazing, chef Jack made our dinner very enjoyable. My daughter and I enjoyed our beach stroll with K. Natthawut - hotel life guard who gave us a lot of useful information of marines life. And last but not least the bell boy who gave us a very first impression since we first arrived and the last say of our stayed, thank you. We defo coming back.❤️

The room is very nice the breakfast is good and the staff Aery honey Peary very nice

We stayed for 7 days in the Bhuri wing of this hotel. Everyting was excellent! Clean, very nice staff, good breakfast and very fresh. We enjoyed the Adults pool, the besch nearby the hotel, the beach club and beautiful sunsets!! I would recommend it to families with children, as they have a waterpark and special areas for children. I would deffinately recommend for a nice relaxing experience!

Best location in Phuket with an idyllic setting. Great beach for swimming. Clean beach. Best hotel.

Stayed for 8 days in early April. We stayed in the grand deluxe room in the Bhuri wing, which was perfect in size and location. As for the rest of the resort, absolutely perfect! Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We came here for a friend's wedding and a family holiday - 2 adults, 1 child and an infant (3 years old). They have everything you could possibly need here and more. It is a resort where you can come to relax, enjoy the sun, enjoy a different culture, have fun and swim all day. If you wanted to stay in the resort the whole time, then you definitely could! You can also arrange tours easily as well as explore the city by yourself. The wedding itself was beautiful and enjoyed by all who attended. What a place to say I do! The photos are amazing and the memories unforgettable. The food served is delicious and there is food for all tastes. They have Thai dishes on the menu, too, which are a must-try. The breakfast buffet has something for everyone, from fruit, to baked beans, to chicken nuggets, pastries, noodles and stir fry, poached eggs and so on. It is an endless array of options. If you stay in Buri wing, you will enjoy the most beautiful view over Kata beach as you have breakfast, too! The rooms are comfortable and feel like home very quickly. We stayed in a grand deluxe room with 2 sleeping spaces, a bathroom with shower cubicle and bathtub (both spacious). There is a mini fridge with small freezer compartment, kettle, complementary water and ice, tea bags, sugar and sachets of coffee. We also spent time at Vhari wing, which is a must if you have kids. There are different pools with water park style areas, a deeper pool, a wave pool and more. The food is also more kid oriented for families with kids. There are lots of options for adults, but kids are definitely catered for here. We were here for both Easter Sunday and Songkran (Thai New Year) and both put on fun-filled activities for all the children. Songkran in particular is such a fun celebration with water guns being used not just by kids, but also staff! They all get in on the fun and it is so lovely to see them all playing along with the kids - water fights aplenty! If you have the chance to visit during Songkran, then I recommend you come then. The staff have been amazing - so helpful, kind and welcoming. Everyone has been so friendly to the kids and we have felt very at home here because of this. Any issues or questions were dealt with quickly and efficiently. I did a pilates class here, which was great. Friends have also had massages and manicures here, my children had their hair braided and everything has been very positive. The spa treatments and some activities are an extra cost, but there are plenty of free activities on Monday to Sunday (including pilates). I don't really have a bad word about anything. Our experience has been extremely positive. April is hot here and seems to be a great time to visit. A fantastic place for families. Thank you to all staff for your commitment to making our holiday the best it could be!
