Mom Tri's Boathouse & Villa Royale (aka "The Boathouse")

Frommer's Review

At the quieter south end of Kata Beach, this small inn is a long-time favorite with many returning visitors. More inn than resort, there's a real home-style feeling here. Comfortable, attractive rooms all face the sea, each with a terrace overlooking courtyard pool and beach beyond but not particularly luxurious (though clean and adequate). Nothing about the hotel calls attention to itself really; instead, it's the friendly, attentive staff that makes it very special. The Boathouse Wine and Grill, the first-floor restaurant, is a long-time favorite for the visiting connoisseur. For a very special stay, stop in to their latest venture, Villa Royale, a collection of super-luxe suites. These large, luxury rooms are perched over a steep cliff with stunning views of the sea and are sumptuously decorated in a unique mix of local materials: dark teaks, mosaics of bamboo and coconut, black tile with stone inlay and elegant weavings. Mom Tri's Kitchen, the hotel companion restaurant, offers some of the best dining on the island. They offer good cooking classes, too.
