Hidden in amongst the 5 star resorts of Kata Noi Beach, this budget/flashpacker hotel exceeded our expectations in all respects. From the moment we checked in, the service we received from the owners and staff was exceptional. Our air-conditioned room was spotless on arrival and serviced every day - beds were comfortable, shower and toilet were well maintained and the television and fridge worked well. We had the option of a cooked breakfast (bacon or sausages with eggs) or light breakfast (cereal, toast & fruit) which was served in a pleasant covered outdoor area. Breakfast was well worth the 100 baht (AUS$3) per person that we paid.

The hotel is ideally located about 30 metres from the beach and a two minute walk will get you to restaurants, mini-marts and the taxi/tuk-tuk stand. Overall, Katanoi Club Hotel is is ideally suited to those looking for relatively cheap, clean accomodation set on a lovely beach away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger Phuket beaches.

We are a family of four with 2 young children. We were very content here. Kata Noi Club is appropriately referred to as 'Flashpackers' by some websites. I believe it is good value. Kata Noi Club has a choice of older bungalow rooms with fans or apartments with Aircon. The bungalow pictures you see actually have 3 individual guest rooms - 2 on the ground floor, one above. The rooms are basic, but cleaned daily and tidy. The garden setting is also basic, but tidy, and the kids spent some enjoyable time foraging around in the garden looking for lizards and frogs. The open air restarant is a pleasant setting. They serve only a breakfast menu with two choices (american or light breakfast) . There are some drinks available in the evenings, but no dinner menu. However, 100m down the road are 2 fairly good restaurants. I believe the Kata noi beach is one of the best down that coast. Perhaps slightly less crowded than elsewhere, but still with rows of deck chairs and umbrellas. Beautiful none the less, with lovely water and sand. The children were not overwhelmed by the surf. Most of the beach is dominated by a resort, and access to the beach is only from either end of the beach. Kata Noi club was conveniently located right at the southern end of the beach adjacent to the beach access (less than 50 m away!).
Some might consider this an inconvenience: the nightlife and shopping is very limited at Kata Noi. It is a perfect place to AVOID all of the Thai nightlife... but if you want it you have to go looking for it. From Kata Noi beach there was no public transport . Kata beach is a 1 - 2 km (pleasant) walk away. The Tuk tuks and taxis seemed pricey for transporting the family to other beaches or shopping areas (150 - 400baht per trip). We ended up hiring scooters (200-300 baht per day) and explored the island that way. Thankfully the other road users seemed very considerate and fair. Kata Noi club exceeded my expectations. If we went back to Phuket, we would stay there again. Happy holidays!

We stayed here for 5 nights. Great location close to the beach. Spacious rooms nothing fancy but clean and great rates we paid 600bhat for fan room. Did not need aircon. Lady at reception was friendly and kept out bags for us while we did a two day trip to Similians. Lovely beach and quite area just over the hill to Kata Beach if you want to go out and go to restaurants bit of a steep walk but not that far, or hire a bike. Definately would go back!!

We stayed in Katanoi club in a A/C room. Large room with big bed. Tiny bathroom though. It had a balcony - but there is literally no view, TV and a minibar.
Breakfast was served in a patio and was acceptable, with a choice of american breakfast or Porridge including mix fruits and fruit juice etc...
We requested the transfer from Airport for THB 700, and it was acceptable. Tuk Tuk locally would charge 800 to 1000 to bring you back to airport...
It was probably a nice place in the past, because it is dead-end road going there and that means no traffic...But to compensate now, you get construction work going on.
They are building around 10 Villas on the hill next to the resort, and the access to their playground is right between the Katanoi Club and the beach...not that of a romance.
Working hours from 08h00 to 22h00...yes yes you are reading well. they work at the light of projectors. It is not that disturbing at night as you are out for dinner. But still this is not what you could expect of vacation at the beach.
Of course the cost for a room like ours was 2000 THB per night when the High end resort next door was proposing rooms starting at 7000-9000 THB, but they should adapt their prices as long as this work goes on. (maybe 5-6 months more)
Talking about the beach itself, our Routard guide was saying that only half of it was flowded by sunbeds...but all of it is. 2 rows of sunbeds on the entire beach.
Despite that, this beach remains one of the quiter of Phuket, and you can really enjoy.
If you are looking for exciting nighlife, don't go there. It is very quiet compare to even Kata Main beach.
