Kathalee Beach Resort

The beach is lovely, large rocks, shade from the tree and beautiful

The owners, ran by a Korean couple, wife particularly is not nice. She should not be dealing with customers at all. Bad attitude, and low deescalating / resolution skills. Husband is hardworking. But the hotel needs work. Breakfast is subpar Hard to get to from the road, no signage. Up the hill.

The reception is strange ...Breakfast is okThey didn't clean the terasse ...Castaway is much better and niceOnly beach is good

Wonderful stay!l Great location on a very picturesque beach (Sunrise Beach) in our opinion the best beach on the island! Everything within walking distance however they offer a free shuttle to walking street! Comfortable beds, lots of choices for breakfast in the morning, hot showers should you need hot water, free kayaks and snorkel equipment. Very helpful and friendly hosts!

No negatives really. The only thing we can say is the bathroom doesn’t drain too well so when you shower the water can be standing in the floor but really not an issue.

The only thing I liked it was on the beach & close to other resorts that had food & drinks.

When we got to our room, the AC was barely blowing cold air. Told them the issue & they sent staff to check the unit. I recommend another room & I didn't care about ocean view being the main priority. They tried the room next door to us & it also has AC issues.They said they need an engineer to look at the AC unit. By this time, I was thinking of a refund if possible but no refund in the cancelation policy. So, after an hour or so, they finally found 2 other rooms available with working AC. We took the closest one to us. Finally, we got into a cool room as Thailand is very humid. We took a cool shower to clean off the sweat from the past hour or so feeling sticky. The towels were so bad it felt like I was scratching my body. Poor quality & old! The bed was horrible & messed with my back. I noticed during high season that this place had very few visitors or people staying there. I obviously found out the hard way why.

The most stunning thing about this property was the Amazing and friendly staff! The manager Kun was sweet, charming and added so much to the property. The location was really nice.

Location is great. Right on the end of sunrise beach, very picturesque. All rooms have sea view. They have free shuttle bus to walking street, also free kajaks, there is a small island very close where you can snorkel, many fish. They have free staff also took us to the ferry and helped with our luggage as my daughter was sick, very helpful.

The room is to small for 1 adult and two children so at arrival if we wanted a ekstra bed it would cost 6000 baht ekstra, on top of the 21000 baht for 5 nights. Maybe it’s booking.com who should be more specific with this rather than the hotel, but really annoying.

Great location, great views. Comfy bed. Really friendly staffRoom is spacious.

Terrible breakfast and house keeping didn’t clean the room- only replaced the requested linen. Bathroom is a bit gross. Terrible shower that floods the bathroom and wets everything walls etc

Pickup to the ferry for free, The view from the room

Up on a mountainOnly one lounger on the balcony (??)Breakfast

Poor

We payed to much for r the room. . And we payed 10% for the creditcard. Thatr was fär to. much. That was not o.k. Room was also noisy.

Friendly and helpful staff

Hotel describes itself as a spa - it is not . It’s a basic hotel - just above a hostel . Breakfast is basic . Bed was very hard - and pillows were also hard . Shampoo and shower gel are very basic . All in all the facilities provided are not good enough for the price . This hotel is very overpriced

We had the most stunning view from the hotel. The room has a great size, balcony is nice. The beach in front is very cute, no boats parking so that is extra. Breakfast was totally ok and the owners were nice.

Im not kidding it was the worst mattress I have ever had in my life. Me and my husband were struggling so bad after 2 days that I was considering to book a night somewhere else just to sleep properly. Bathroom could use renovation, or at least a holder for the showerhead and some proper ventilation. The balcony was nice but had only one sunbed , so the 2 of couldn’t relax together.

The location is perfect for those who don't necessarily want to be near Walking Street or the port. The hotel offers evening transport to the center and pickup at the pier/check-in after arrival. It's a lovely spot for breakfast—right by the beach.

For those with a light sleep, it might be difficult to rest here, as every night you can hear the wind and what seems like the roof being lifted by it. There are also similar noises coming from the door side. In our room, there was only one sunbed for two people, and overall, we got better value for money at the next resort, even though we paid 1,000 baht less for a room there.

The location was quiet and the snorkelling off the tiny beach was excellent. The hotel provides beach towels and snorkelling masks for free

The room next to ours was used as a storage base and was really unattractive to look at.

Perfect location. Beautiful view from my balcony! Amazing place to stay in! This hotel is located on the most beautiful beach of the island.

Great location situated on the beach

This property is in desperate need of a renovation the bathrooms are disgraceful. Rusty taps shower falls off the wall so did the air con key. Towels are like sandpaper. The staff here are great always helpful and such a great location. Just a shame the rate they charge isn’t being invested back in to the property.

Best location and beach in Ko Lipe. The beach feels really private, a nice little cove with a great view of the neighboring island. Great snorkeling. Right next to the fancier resorts that cost 2-4x as much. Our room had an amazing view as well. They have a shuttle to the downtown walking street but it's actually close enough to walk.

No real massage places nearby.

Breakfast was simple but good and fresh, nice fruit and really good eggs.

The bathrooms are clean but very simple.

The location is the best. The beach in front of the hotel is the best in the whole island to me.

Unfortunately, many things: the AC is very old and doesn’t work properly; the cleaning service is deficient; the room doesn’t reflect what you are paying for (especially the bathroom, see pics); the wifi is deficient. It feels like the hotel got stuck in the 90s and no investment was done since then. My room was supposed to have view to the sea, yeah, right…

Location and quiet

On a hill if can’t walk good

Excellent location on top of a secluded beach

Old and rundown, terrible breakfast. Value for money not good
