This is a beautiful hotel in a great setting overlooking the cliffs between Kata and Kata Noi Beaches. The rooms are very nice, spacious and well decorated. I would definitely stay here again. Although it is expensive, it is a luxury hotel and you pay for that.
The location is not on the beach. But this does not matter. You can swim off the rocks if you want. There are three pools in the complex, one of them overlooking the sea. And it is a 5 minute walk to either of the beaches.
A word of warning though, although Asia Rooms advertises Standard rooms at the Mom Tri Villa Royale, there is no such thing. If you book one of these rooms you may be confirmed in the room, only to be transfered (or upgraded as we were told) to the Boathouse Wing. This is in fact at a different hotel, despite being owned by the same people, and is a 4 star hotel rather that a 5 star. A very different hotel and ambience, even though it is also nice. But it will not be the hotel that you looked at online.
We arrived to find that no room existed for us in Villa Royale and that our booking was in the Boathouse, and obviously we complained because we had a confirmation of a Standard room in Villa Royale. To be fair to the hotel they ended up giving us a room in Villa Royale, after spending a night in the Boathouse, but you do not need the stress of having to fight for this. I hope that they no longer advertise Standard rooms in Villa Royale, because it was a major headache.
