Rough Guide
"The various wings and offshoots of the enormous and luxurious Katathani now occupy almost the entire shoreline of small, secluded Kata Noi."
Fodor's
"This long, sprawling lodge fronts most of the Kata Noi beach. This seems to intimidate day-trippers, whose general absence keeps nearly 1 km of smooth sand delightfully visible." Full review
