Lonely Planet
"Taking over a huge portion of lush, relatively quiet Hat Kata Noi, this glitzy spa resort offers all the usual trimmings in stylish surrounds... Excellent low-season deals are often available." Full review
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

Independent
"The rooms at the Nai Harn are a blast of colour – lime greens rugs, deep purple threads and garlands of pink bougainvillea all pop against a background of blue-green sky and sea – but it’s the comet-like white of Nai Harn beach you’ll most fondly remember"
Frommer's
"Most rooms have large balconies with four-posted sun beds. Villas have a button that, when pushed, immediately alerts your private butler to bring a bottle of champagne. " Full review
