The Boathouse is located at the end of Kata Beach, and is one of the few hotels with private beachfront in Kata, with both restaurant and pool areas immediately on the beach. Kata Beach is beautiful, and less busy than Patong and Karon, highly recommended for families and for a bit less buster than some other locations, while maintaining a great selection of restaurants and other activities. There are some seafood restaurants 50 metres of walking on the beach that offer excellent dining options, as well as a Ska bar for some relaxed drinks or more.
The property is excellently maintained, with rooms and facilities in great condition. The design is beautiful, and it is a proper smallish to medium boutique hotel. The pool areas are very nice with ample sunbeds and great service from the pool staff. The rooms are nice, spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and pillows, clever storage solutions and quiet air condition.
The breakfast is a la carte with broad selection of western and thai options, and the food is high quality. The restaurant is also great for both lunch and dinner, with a nice sea breeze and view of the beach, and excellent food.
The staff is friendly, helpful and service minded, and we felt well taken care of at all times. They really walk the extra mile.
We have stayed in many hotels around the world, and several different locations in Thailand, and The Boathouse is a gem, highly recommended and great value. We will be back! (We stayed 12 nights)
