What a gem of a hotel! We've found that it's difficult to find a great hotel in Phuket, especially in the reasonable price range. This hotel has so much going for it: 1) It's on the beach, which is surprisingly rare for Phuket. 2) Kata beach is one of the prettiest beaches in Phuket. It's got soft white sand and... More

Location is great, abit away from the major... More

My husband & I just completed a weeks stay at The Boathouse, this was our second time back within the year. The location doesn't get any better, directly on the beach. Two of the previous staff we knew Kai & Moss remembered us with warm greetings which is always welcoming. There were however some obvious & some not so obvious... More

Summary: Great hotel for couples. A 5 star experience for Phuket. Prime location on a beautiful beach. Beach staff look after guests very well with chair and umbrella set-up, constant supply of water and a bar service. The long beach can get busy, nothing like Patong, but the area by the hotel was always less busy than the other areas.... More

Cannot fault this classy, intimate hotel. A haven of peach and exclusivity in an otherwise packed and touristy beach. Beautiful beach with great snorkelling. Attentive beach staff who set up your loungers and towels for you, bring you (free) chilled water throughout the day etc. Breakfasts at Re Kata (included with your hotel booking) are great with ample options and...

My wife and I had a most enjoyable five day break. The renovations have been tastefully done although the rooms are still on the small size. The staff are friendly and helpful and the beach attendants were particularly attentive. The breakfast is excellent offering a wide selection to suit most tastes. The beach was also much cleaner than on previous... More

Overall Phuket was pretty disappointing. It's been 20 years since my last visit to the island and the poor food (compared to most other places I've been to in Thailand) and the general poor cleanliness (so much litter on the beach and in the water) would make this my last trip here. That said, Kata is one of the better... More
