I had a pretty mixed experience at Kathalee Beach Resort & Spa. The room had an amazing view, but it definitely needed some TLC. The staff were super friendly, and the location by Sunrise Beach was fantastic, but the dining options could use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're looking for a laid-back place with beautiful scenery.

My room had a stunning sea view and a comfortable bed, but it looked tired and could use an update. The isolation between rooms wasn't great, so I could hear noise from neighboring rooms.

The breakfast was decent with choices like fried eggs and omelets, but I would've liked a bit more variety and higher quality ingredients. It felt a bit repetitive after a few days.
