  They should put in the same effort in the Hotel as they did in their website

  Without too much information on the Seashore Beach Cottage, we took our chances. The website looks really nice, claiming that everybody can have a holiday at their resort, living the life of a millionair. Ok.....I fell for that maybe a bit too easy. When we entered the cottage, after carrying up our overpacked samsonite (28 kg) the 112 steps to the cottage on my own, we were a bit dissappointed by the interior (or lack of it). The shower was combined with the toilet in the showercabin, and the cottage design was "modest". I was especially dissappointed by the fact that it would not take that much money or time to make the interior look more attractive. I am afraid that this resort is missing a qualified and caring management. The staff was friendly, but not helpfull at all and also not really concerned with the wellbeing of their guests. Playing the stereo loud for their own entertainment during early breakfast and suggesting to take a taxi (4000 baht) to Krabi instead of the cheap ferry. Positive aspects is how the resort is situated and the seaview from the cottages. A local taxi driver told us that the resort was hit with the tsunami and just reopened with a new management.

  Great location and view, very basic accomodation

  I stayed for a weekend with my fiance at Seashore Beach Cottage. I am torn about this place, and I'm not sure whether I would return. Pros: Gorgeous location. I love Kata Noi Beach, I really think it's the best in Phuket. Your only other options at Kata Noi are other cheapo budget stays or Kata Thani Resort, which looks great but is rather pricey ($243/night was the cheapest available option when I checked for our weekend away). The view. Sweeping views of the beach and ocean from the front balcony of all cottages. Nice to sit out there and drink a beer. Etc. Each cottage has a mini-bar with very reasonable prices, A/C, satellite TV, and an instant hot water heater (if it works). Staff are very kind and efficient, even if their command of English is not the best. Cons: Very, very basic accomodation. Really their price (I paid about $100/night) is based on the location and view, otherwise I wouldn't pay half that rate. Cottages are relatively clean but very worn. Bed linens are old and the bed/pillows are hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom is rather iffy, with open-air slots to the outdoors, and the shower head placed illogically over the toilet. So basically you have to hover over or next to the toilet to take a shower. When we got to our room, our water heater wasn't functioning and the shower head was ripped off the wall; however, this was quickly remedied by staff. Those stairs! Oy vey, it was quite a climb, and we weren't even in the upper tiers. The cottages are way up on a hill so although the view rocks, getting to the view sucks. NOT recommended for anyone with limited mobility. Conclusion. If you want a good location with views but don't want to break the bank, this is your place. However, if you're looking for passable hotel-style accomodation, avoid Seashore Beach Cottage. Next time I'll probably stay down the road at Kata Sun Beach, which although on the other section of Kata, is half the price with nicer rooms.
