Our stay in Katathani was excellent! The lovely hotel was excellently located, on a quiet beach, yet, only a very short tuk tuk ride away form the action of the neigbouring Kata and Karon beaches.
The hotel is a large 4-5 star hotel, so do not come here with the expectation of a small boutique-hotel-type of intimacy. Instead, expect spacious gardens and beautiful pools with good service.
The hotel facilities were well maintained and clean, the gardens around the three pools were beautiful and there was enough sun loungers for everyone. (Time of visit was late March.) As a bonus compared to other hotels on the Phuket main beaches, Katathani hotel is located right on the beach, so there is no road to cross to get to the beach! The hotel layout would be perferct for a family with children, or a couple on romantic holiday.
On the negative side, the breakfast facility of Katathani was large and extremely noisy with the sounds of plates and utensils clicking and clacking loouder than the mumble of the conversations. Maybe the hotel could invest a bit more in reducing the noise level and provide a true 4-5 star breakfast experience.
The room (junior suite)itself was very nice and clean, with attention to interior. The size of the room was however quite small compared to the price of the room. I did not feel I was in a suite, rather only in a normal room with nicer interior (Delux type of room). Therefore I think I was paying too much for the room.
The staff of the hotel was extremely considerate and friendly greeting you always when passing on the grounds. The attention was taken to the detail that when we had to visit the hotel nurse for minor sickness, on the evening when returning to the room, there was a basket of orchids waiting for us with a get well note from the hotel!
Overall, me and my husband were very satisfied with our stay in Katathani, would recommend it to our fiends and would return again.
