Katathani Phuket Beach Resort 5 * is a modern hotel located in a picturesque area of ​​​​Phuket near Kata Noi Beach. Many tourists come here from Russia and China, as well as citizens of Western Europe. The complex was built in 1987, but in 2017 its large-scale renovation was completed. There are 11 buildings on the territory, which are located in two zones, depending on the proximity to the beach. For the birthday of the birthday, a cake and a greeting card are waiting, and compliments are also relied on by regular customers.

Most of the activities for children are located at Buri Wing, which includes a mini club, a games room with multi-level labyrinths and a new swimming pool. On the territory there is a playground with fountains and sprinklers, where children will have fun playing with their peers.

In the evenings, the garden is quite quiet, the musicians stop playing as early as nine in the evening. When the waves rise on the sea, you can swim in one of the 6 pools. Near them are umbrellas and sun loungers. Elevators work everywhere, the park is well looked after. Gardeners regularly mow lawns and remove fallen leaves. Active guests will enjoy the tennis court. The hotel is very popular due to its proximity to the sea, varied menu, excellent cafes and bars.

Parents with children love to come to this complex because of the entertainment program, which is considered a rarity for Thailand.

The territory is divided into 2 parts by a road. The buildings of the first zone are lined up along the coast, restaurants, cafes and swimming pools are located nearby. Just behind the buffet where breakfasts are served, there is a small lake with lilies. Nearby there is a gym, a billiards room and a souvenir shop.

Rooms

1 of 10

Families with children are not recommended to book rooms in the eighth building, as it is located very close to the road. At night it can be noisy due to disco sounds. The quietest rooms are closer to the mountain.

The rooms are spacious, divided into several zones, the parents' bed is separated from the extra bed (single bed or sofa) by a partition-screen. A separate area serves as a living room, there is a sofa, coffee table and desk. The walls are decorated with unusual paintings. The bathroom can be fitted with both a simple shower cabin and a bathtub, depending on the chosen category. There is also a bag for beach towels.

Upon check-in, administrators will ask for a deposit. In 2019, the amount was $100 and 200 baht, from which the cost of cocktails on the beach was deducted. For extended check-in, guests can be offered a free dinner. Wi-Fi is paid. Internet speed is uneven, sometimes it is too slow. According to tourists, a good signal is near the restaurant, which is located behind the pool on the left half of the territory.

There are several accommodation options:

  • deluxe suites (quiet zone, extra bed on the sofa, maximum 3 people);
  • family grand deluxe (quiet zone, division of rooms into zones, 2 + 2 people);
  • junior suites (regular and sea view, 5 beds);
  • grand suites with sea view (5 places).

The floors in the bedroom are wooden, the air conditioner is conveniently located. There is a TV, DVD player, hairdryer, kettle, minibar and safe. Depending on the floor, the room may have a balcony or a terrace. Cleaned daily, but sometimes there are complaints about the quality. It is better to take mosquito repellent with you. Every day the maids bring 2 bottles of water and a set of tea and coffee.

Nutrition

Vacationers can choose several meal options: one breakfast; half board and full board. In the mornings, breakfast is served in the buffet, where they arrange a buffet. The choice of dishes is quite large. You can have lunch and dinner according to a fixed menu, all other dishes and drinks are paid extra. Porridge and dairy products are very rare, in the morning they are more often served:

  • scrambled eggs
  • omelets;
  • cheese and sausage slices;
  • puffs, croissants;
  • pancakes;
  • cakes;
  • cereal with milk;
  • fruits (melons, watermelons, bananas, pineapples).

There are many cafes near the hotel, but many people prefer to dine in restaurants on site. The prices there are higher than on the street, but when preparing food, sanitary standards are observed.

At Fisherman's Wharf and Secret, children can order pureed soups. For the little ones, it is better to bring baby food, instant cereals, yogurt and other dairy products from home. Many note that full board is not always a profitable option, since even in a la carte restaurants, only dishes from a fixed menu are free to choose.

Chom Talay serves Thai dishes, while Fisherman's Wharf has not only local food, but also European dishes. The chefs at La Scala and Seaside prepare pizza, pasta, mac and cheese and other Italian dishes. Parents with children prefer to go to the buffet for dinner, where they arrange a buffet. Restaurants sometimes have to wait for orders. If the family checks out late, the restaurant will prepare a lunch box. There are also 5 bars on site. You can go to the restaurant of the neighboring hotel Mom Tris, which offers a beautiful view of the sea. The chefs there cook very well, but the complex itself is not very suitable for living with small children.

Staff

The level of service in Katathani is quite consistent with five stars. Upon check-in, guests are treated to soft drinks. The waiters are very friendly and enjoy interacting with children. Some speak Russian a little. Also during the season there is an employee to work with Russian-speaking clients. The rest can be explained in English. There are many cleaners on the territory who sweep the paths and keep the park clean. Gardeners mow the lawns, there are employees who regularly clean the pools.

Entertainment and animation

1 of 10

The complex has a free internet corner where you can work on your computer. Tourists will be offered to visit a gym, a beauty salon, a SPA center, play table tennis and billiards for free, and rent a tennis court, where lighting is turned on in the evenings.

Although there is no active animation, water aerobics classes are arranged in the pool in the mornings. In restaurants, live music often sounds in the evenings, and on some days they arrange acrobat shows, fire performances and dance performances. Sometimes guests are invited to go to the observation deck. A program with all the entertainment is in each room. The employees of the children's club do not speak Russian, you can only speak English with them, but the children will easily find a common language with the teachers. The game room has a whole multi-level town with ladders and bridges.

The Aqua Play zone water entertainment area is usually open until 17, there are water slides, fountains and all kinds of water sprinklers.

There are also 6 pools, the newest of which is the Seven Seas, it is located on the territory of Buri Wing. For a fee, parents can hire a babysitter for their children. During the holidays, there are many fun competitions for children. Rows of souvenir merchants line up near the central building several times a week, and artists also come here to paint portraits for everyone. They also offer paid courses in Thai cuisine, fruit carving workshops, yoga classes and Master Chef courses for children.

Beach

1 of 2

Kata Noi is ranked second in beauty after Freedom Beach. You can reach it in 3 minutes from any building. The coastal strip of sand extends along a small bay. There are fewer people here than on Kata Beach, which is located a little to the north. Directly from it begins the road through the mountain pass, leading to Neu-Harn. On the way, you can stop by the park with elephants and climb to the observation deck. Near Kata Noi there are many restaurants with a beautiful view of the sea. In summer, the beach strip is very narrow, and at the end of November, big waves rise on the sea. On such days, a red flag is put on the sand.

A shuttle bass sometimes goes to Patong, but this beach is noticeably inferior to Kata Noi in the beauty of the sea and coast.

Stinging plankton sometimes floats close to the shore in the water. Although the burns from it are almost invisible, many Chinese tourists prefer to swim in bathing shirts. On the beach, vacationers often play volleyball or run in the morning. The entrance to the sea is gentle, the ebbs and flows are usually not very noticeable. Many sunbathe on sun loungers under palm trees, which are 20 meters from the water. You can walk to Kata in 15 minutes, there is also a tuk-tuk. The easiest way to get to the paid Freedom Beach is by water, but it is located at some distance.

Location and surroundings

From Phuket's main airport to Catatani can be reached in 40-55 minutes, the distance is about 50 km. It is 14 km to Patong, the easiest way to get there is by tuk-tuk or taxi. Twice a day, a shuttle bus departs from the gates of the hotel to the city. Many vacationers do not have the best impressions of a sightseeing tour, as the bus often stops near shops where sellers are obsessively trying to sell their goods. The statue of the Big Buddha on the hill can be reached by taxi, next to it there is a wonderful observation deck. Tourists make excellent videos during the Avatar's Path excursion to the places where the famous film was filmed, but small children should not be taken on it.

Older kids enjoy monkey shows, trips to the honey factory and elephant rides through the jungle. On Kata Beach, you can buy fresh fruits and unusual souvenirs. Bangla Road, where most bars and restaurants are located, is 12 km from the complex.

Good photos can be taken in the Upside Down House. Children love this museum because it is built upside down. Taking a picture in one of the rooms and turning the photo over, everyone can imagine that he is floating in weightlessness.

Local bureaus offer trips to James Bond Island and Bounty Island (Ko Samet), as well as trips to the protected forests of Khao Phra Teo, where you can admire waterfalls, swim in clear lakes, see monkeys and tropical birds.

In this regard, the Russian Embassy in Thailand strongly recommends that you refrain from importing electronic cigarettes into Thailand, as well as from using, storing and carrying them.

I’ll start with the flight, the flight to Phuket by the Nord Wind company was postponed from 2 am to 11 am, the result was a lost day of rest: (the plane is large, they flew in the 3rd row, in the middle, these places don’t have tables, they are brought by the stewardess, they are barely attached to the seats crookedly "Slanting, it's almost impossible to eat, especially for children. They can only give you a tray of food, they eat on their knees. You can survive it. But the flight back is just a mockery of the passengers: the flight was delayed from 16:00 to 23:00, and flew somewhere 1 night...

My husband and I rested in this hotel in December 2010. I liked the hotel, clean area, shops in the hotel, restaurants, clean large room overlooking the sea. The pool is good, and after the pool, immediately the beach ... The beach is super!!! Wide, gently sloping, the sea is clean, but the waves are strong, we rode them, you stand in the water, and the waves throw you up))) Near the pool they do massages, manicures, pedicures ... Complete relaxation)) And it's not expensive . for example, body massage 300-400 baht, manicure 200 baht, A...

This is the best hotel in Phuket! Do not doubt this choice of hotel! I went around all the beaches, looked at a lot of other hotels and came to the conclusion that Catatani is the best! Large beautiful area of ​​the hotel, the best Kata Noi beach, the cleanest and most comfortable beach, with white sand, 6 private pools, 6 restaurants on site. The rooms are clean, large, equipped with everything you need, the service and staff are beyond praise! All buildings of the hotel are located directly on the sea, so a great view and noise...

Rested in this hotel from 04.09 - 12.09. Tour operator - Biblio Globus. I chose this operator for the lowest prices for a Business class flight + $ 360 per person for 2 flights. And it was worth it :) Rested alone. I chose a quiet and decent hotel. Well, I'll start in order ... The hotel itself and the territory: the hotel is large, the territory is well-groomed, a lot of greenery, pools - 2 main ones. The beach length is about km. There is only one hotel in the entire lagoon. The beach is very chamber, a minimum of stray tourists, almost no...

Hotel Reviews 2010 of the year

Good afternoon everyone! We rested in Thailand for the first time (November 2010), before that there were many places (Turkey, Egypt, Maldives, etc.). But we do not remember such a wonderful holiday. Everything is just great. And a good hotel (first line) and interesting excursions and kind, attentive people. I recommend this hotel to everyone, it's quite expensive, but it's worth it, believe me. The only negative is diving. Diving in Thailand is very expensive (for one day on a 120-130S yacht) and the sea is not as clear as in Egypt. Excellent rating...

We rested in this hotel from February 9 to February 19, 2010. The hotel is simply gorgeous, everything corresponds to what we saw on the site. The staff is friendly, kind! my family and I left for the islands and in a hurry my wife hung up a sign that the child was sleeping, of course they didn’t remove it from us. But even after returning to the hotel late in the evening, they cleaned the room at our request. .In a word, we are all left...

Excellent family hotel.
We rested at the hotel in the first half of April 2019, so while the memories are fresh, I will write a review.
Flying through coral travel, with a child of 3.5 years.
1. Settlement. We arrived at about 11 o'clock, we were asked to wait, at 11.40 we were already in the room. Didn't have to wait 14 hours. The staff speaks English, only one girl from the main building speaks Russian. The bhuri building has its own reception. Upon check-in, they asked for a card number for booking deposit funds on it, but we gave it in cash: $ 300 for 13 nights. If you make orders in the bars or restaurants of the hotel, then this will be deducted from the deposit when you check out.
2. Number. We got a room on the 3rd floor of building 6, a view of the pool and even the sea was visible. The elevator works well and quickly. The room has everything you need for your stay: a hairdryer, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, in a small box near the sink there was a shower cap, toothbrushes and paste, a set of threads and needles, a hygiene bag, cotton pads and sticks. Bathrobe, slippers, 2 beach towel bags, even beach slippers, umbrella. The toilet has a pseudo bidet. Kettle, tea and coffee bags, sugar are all available. Safe is free. They left the gadgets on the table - everything was safe and sound, theft was not detected. The air conditioning worked great even when no one was in the room, very convenient. The cleaning is good, for a small fee the cleaning was more thorough, even swept on the balcony)) Do not leave leftover fruits or other food on the balcony, because ants immediately come. We tried not to leave the balcony door open so that mosquitoes would not fly in. We did not hear our neighbors, the sound insulation is excellent. In general, the room is very spacious, the bed is chic, the pillows are comfortable, the furniture is good. We liked the room very much. They brought a crib for the baby.
3. Nutrition. We only had breakfast. There are no questions about them. Great variety of food. For 2 weeks, I didn’t get tired and didn’t get bored. Both rice and noodles, sausages, meat, eggs in different variations, pastries, breakfast cereals, fruits, vegetables, marinades, cheeses, sauces - food for every taste. There is coffee from a coffee machine, juices, herbal preparations. Were in Thai treshka-they don’t feed like that, the level is immediately visible. The children were delighted with the pancakes, which were baked at the touch of a button. Once we went to a fish restaurant for dinner, we did not like it. Both in preparation and in price. We didn't go to hotel restaurants anymore. There are enough cafes on the street, they cook pretty well almost everywhere. We found one cafe on the 3rd day of rest, then we ate there every evening until the end: not reaching the exchanger in front of the lila's massage parlor (by the way, they did a massage there) there is a turn to the right, that's where this cafe is located. In the evening they have a full landing. excellent, and the prices are reasonable. Fresh drinks in the hotel bars are 2 times more expensive than in cafes. On Mon and Wed, small concerts are held on the stage from the beach side, and from 21.30 to 22.30 during the concert is happy hour, any cocktail for 135 baht , we didn’t miss)) By the way, we visited the well-known restaurant Mom Tri "s kitchen. It’s beautiful, expensive, just like a restaurant)) It’s better to come early, while it’s still light, in order to at least take gorgeous photos. In fact, unreasonably expensive, the kitchen is unremarkable. Delicious, just like everywhere else. But it's worth going.)
4. Beach and sea. This is, in fact, why we fly for so many hours, for which we choose Thailand not for the first time - this is a chic, clean, warm sea. The beach here is really chic, as in the picture. Clean, few people. The only thing is that we were at the end of the season, the sea was restless, there were very strong waves for several days. Therefore, it is better to come before April. There are plenty of pools here, the water in them is warm. There are slides for children, there is a separate complex only for children, but we just went there a couple of times, my daughter did not appreciate it). By the way, the toilets near the beach are always clean, there are hand sanitizers everywhere.
5. Stores. 7\11 and family within walking distance, fruit tents are also available. They took pancakes with a banana in a macaron - they are not tasty, they are baked much tastier in Karon. But to buy souvenirs and all sorts of nonsense, you need to go to Kata Beach, we went to the night market on Thursday. 200 baht on a tuk tuk. In addition to food, there are shopping arcades with things and all small things. Much cheaper than in stores near the hotel. For example, soap in the form of fruits in the market - 4 pieces for 100 baht, we have 3 for 100; chewing sweets a large package we have 150 baht, in the market 100; we have scarves for 200 baht, on the market for 100. Well, in general, you can list endlessly.
In general, of course, even in cafes near the hotel, the price tag is slightly higher than on the same Katya or Karon, but here you need to understand that we pay for privacy and remoteness from a huge number of tourists. This hotel is not for parties, but for people who want to get a quality relaxing holiday. Basically, families with children rest here, among them there are a lot of foreigners, Russian speakers can be counted on the fingers. Many pensioners from Europe.
I really hope that we will still have the opportunity to return to Thailand, and if it is Phuket, then it will definitely be the Katathani Phuket beach resort hotel. Of course, everyone puts something different into the concept of rest, but this hotel was perfect for our family. Thank you very much to the hotel staff for the opportunity to really enjoy your vacation 100%!
