Kathalee Beach Resort & Spa Bewertungen

The hotel’s location is by far the best on the island. Only three hotels are privileged to be in this part of the beach nestled between the rocks. It boasts white powdery sand, verdant foliage to shade from sunshine, and easy access to swimming areas with no tail boats in sight. Guests staying at the Serendipity and Ten Moons hotels often come to Kathalee’s part of the beach and sometimes rent a sunbed, which says a lot about the resort’s location and comforts. Serendipity’s beautiful corner is too narrow to accommodate sun loungers, while Ten Moons hotel has some beach chairs, but in a deep and impenetrable tree shade. The Kathalee Resort is more accommodating offering bean chairs, umbrellas, and sunbeds for relaxing sun lounging. The lovely couple that manages the resort made us feel very welcome by providing valuable advice about navigating the island or exploring the underwater realm. Snorkeling off the beach in any tide is possible, though the low tide will give you a better view of coral fish. We easily found the “Nemo” fish (clownfish) with the help of our host who readily shared his insights. The breakfast, though basic, is healthy and sufficient with all usual options covered and freshly brewed coffee to accompany it. And, yes, the resort does have a drip coffee machine. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the walking street in the evenings. If you have enough stamina to brave the slopes, it will take you only 10 minutes to get to the busy part of the island, plus there are some shortcut options. There is no need to dress up on any occasion, flip-flops are the only pair of shoes you’ll need during your stay. The hotel gave us every opportunity to truly enjoy the minimalist and unencumbered lifestyle, beautiful lush nature, and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
