The Boathouse Phuket

The beachfront location at Kata Beach is stunning. A swim in the ocean after breakfast, watch the world go by in the infinity pool and then book a prime seat for a sunset cocktail over the Andaman Sea. Staff are attentive and service is discreet but superb. Breakfast buffet choices are numerous and includes an a la cart menu. It is hard to fault this lovely pocket of paradise in Kata Beach.

Looking a little tired and worn in places (eg bathroom, foyer) and could do with a refresh.

Perfect location

The BoatHouse is ticking all the boxes, good size hotel (not too big), very good services and good value for money. The highlight being the swimming pool nearly on the beach, so you can play with the waves and go back to your transat.

It is hard to find something, to be picky the addition of a small playground for kids would be nice. Otherwise, room are nice, everybody is very smiley and make sure you spend the most enjoyable stay.

The Boathouse was an unexpected gem, especially given the kind of hotels we normally vsisit (MO, FS, Aman, Rosewood, etc). The location is beautiful and the atmosphere very cozy. Staff very nice. Thai food at Restaurant very good. Western food a bit bland. It might not be as luxurious as other hotels on the island/Thailand but what you get is a hotel that has class and a lot of character.

Breakfast was not on par with the rest. Buffet was underwhelming and the cooked to order dishes often not adequate cooked, especially the eggs.
