We loved the location on the beach front. The bay is beautiful.
Pros:

This hotel is perfectly situated to enjoy Kata beach in the most southern corner of the bay located on the beach front meaning that the views were wonderful from dawn to dusk. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely repeat the stay.

Cons:

Nothing.

What a perfect Hotel for our first visit to Thailand
Pros:

From the moment we entered the door until we left it 12 nights later we were treated like royalty by the staff. The reception staff were always welcoming, the breakfast staff were very accommodating and the bar staff remembered everything. The room staff were perfect in their care of us, the gardens well maintained and the security staff made us feel very secure. The gym was air conditioned.
The view of the sea and sound of the waves from our window was beautiful. The room was a good size, and everything we needed. Coffee machine and new water bottles every day were a plus that we didn't expect. Also the room was refreshed twice a day, in the morning and 'turn down' at night.
The hotel was close to quite a few shops and restaurants, and the inevitable 7/11. We used Grab for taxis and security opened the gate for them.
The beach was 6 steps away, and the swimming so safe. I use a full face snorkel and the fish in the rocks to the left of the hotel were beautiful and I saw so many.
The Thai people are so respectful and it was a wonderful, memorable holiday.

A jewel on Kata Beach
Pros:

This was our first trip to Phuket and our daughter told us to stay on Kata Beach because it would be more laid back than either Karon Beach or Patong Beach and we were thrilled to find a resort on the beach side of the road that turned out to be so incredibly special! The staff were all gracious, friendly, and helpful with everything we needed. The location is spectacular with a lovely beach walk and beautiful views of the sunset in late February. The property and all of its amenities were five star in our books. The Boathouse is a jewel of a resort and when we come back to Phuket, we will definitely be staying here again. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay special!

Gorgeous hotel
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel. It’s a great size - big enough for amenities like a bar, restaurant and a small pool, but small and boutique enough to be about 5 steps down to the beach.

I loved sitting on my private balcony looking out to the beach and pool. It’s not the quietest beach but really nice to take a stroll early in the morning. I could also see the beach from my bed when I’d opened my curtains in the morning!

Food at the hotel was great - particularly the Thai omelette for breakfast and the spring rolls.

nice resort, a couple things...
Pros:

Very nice, higher end resort in a perfect location. Service was very good, rooms were nice and spacious.
Our only complaints are the bed was hard as a rock, and painful to sleep in, and there was a constant and loud beeping outside the resort that really took away from the tranquility, and relaxation of being on the patio, pool, and beach.

Our second stay
Pros:

This is our second stay and will definitely won’t be our last. Great cozy resort, right on the beach and has everything that we needed for a relaxed vacation. Service stands as top and I must thank everyone for making our stay memorable. Special thanks to Mr Daniel and Mr X for making us feel very special. Worth noting that the hotel is next to many places to eat and hangout be it on the beach or the surrounding area. You actually do not need to leave Kata beach as it offers everything. Thank you again staff each and everyone. We will be back

A wonderful stay.
Pros:

The Boathouse is an oasis of calm in the busy resort of Kata beach. The location is the best. It sits right on the beach but still maintains its distance from the crowds. The staff are amazing and within a few days they are like personal friends. We paid for inclusive breakfast. Well worth it. No buffet here a very extensive and varied (Thai and western) options cooked fresh. The restaurant overlooks the sea. Delightful in the early morning and as the sun sets in the evening.
Rooms look like they have been refreshed recently and our room was spacious with a sea view. Drinking water provided in thee room every day.
Can’t think of anything bad to say about the hotel. If I travel to Phuket again I will stay here.

Es lohnt sich hier zu übernachten.
Pros:

Das Ressort hat vollkommen überzeugt. Die Strandlage ist super und es war sehr schön gestaltet. Die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr nett und freundlich. Man fühlt sich sehr wohl und es fehlt einem an nichts.
Wir hatten einen Bungalow mit Meerblick und es war ein wunderschöner Meerblick. Auch beim Frühstück konnte man sich seine wünsche erfüllen lassen. Es war traumhaft. Macht weiter so 👍🏻

Cons:

Es gab nichts.
