“boomerang village, da ritornarci!”
alessandra m(milano)
Abbiamo trascorso una settimana al boomerang village resort a Kata (dal 10 dicembre 2011) e l'avevamo scelto a seguito dei commenti positivi visti sul sito di tripadvisor; il posto è spettacolare e ci siamo trovate benissimo!!!!
E' curato nei minimi dettagli, c'è una vegetazione rigogliosissima ed è molto raccolto: sono 21 camere arredate in stile thai, immerse in un favoloso giardino tropicale: gli unici rumori che abbiamo sentito sono stati i canti degli uccelli.
Il resort è situato in collina, lontano dal caos della cittadina e per raggiungere la spiaggia, comunque non molto distante, il sig. Paolo è stato sempre disponibile ad accompagnarci gratuitamente.
Ciò che contraddistingue inoltre questo posto è la cordialità e gentilezza del personale, che ci hanno fatte sentire coccolate in ogni momento: sono stati sempre a nostra disposizione per ogni evenienza.
Abbiamo inoltre provato a cena la squisita cucina italiana, che non ha nulla da rimpiangere alla nostra Italia!! Ci siamo sentite a casa anche a km di distanza!!
Le massaggiatrici sono bravissime!!!
Insomma, non abbiamo nulla da eccepire! Complimenti e coninuate così!!!
Ringraziamo ancora tutto lo staff che ci ha fatto trascorrere una meravigliosa vacanza!!

“A Little Piece Of Heaven On Earth!”
EdinburghDaybreak(Burntisland, United Kingdom)
The owner told me that there is no such thing as 'perfection' ~ but I beg to disagree; Boomerang Village Resort was the perfect retreat for us and (try as we might) we have not managed to come up with one negative aspect to our stay.
We had a Pool Suite which was absolutely delightful and provided all the comforts and luxuries that one could need; very comfortable bed, amazing bathroom, wifi, fridge, tea making facilities, multi-channel t.v (including Brit channels ~ no escaping Jeremy Kyle) and beautifully fragranced oil burner. The house-keeping staff should be commended on the high level of cleanliness that was maintained throughout our stay.
The grounds and facilities were outstanding ~ a little haven of tranquility to soothe your soul and calm your mind after a hectic day sightseeing. And the Italian food was mouthwatering ~ the best Lasagne that I have ever tasted and my husband says the same of the Bolognaise ~ we ate there every night of our week long stay. Breakfast was good and I feel it offers ample choice for all tastes, we certainly never got bored or went hungry!
But the thing that struck us most about Boomerang was the attitude of staff and management; nothing was too much trouble and they actually went out of their way to ensure that you had everything that you needed. I couldn't get my pc to work ~ they brought in a man who could, I booked my air tickets for the wrong date ~ they phoned the airline and got them changed, I wanted to organize trips ~ they did everything for me. I was (and remain) totally amazed by the level of service across the board by each and every one of the staff ~ it made our trip.
So in short, yes ~ perfection does exist!

“Beautiful!”
QueenslandWendy(Queensland)
We spent 5 nights in this beautiful paradise. The photos on their website do not lie! Yes it is out of the town (10 minutes walk) but it is such a peaceful place to stay and the views are amazing. The rooms are exactly as they apear on their brochure so what you see is what you get! The restaurant has excellent food and is well priced so you could eat here all the time if you wished, the only complaint I have about breakfast is that I would have liked to have some muesli available (but that's just my preference). The pool is beautiful and clean and has lovely soft music playing so it is very relaxing.
It is a perfect place to chill out and unwind.
The taxi from here is excellent value and it is worth booking for transfers to and from the airport.

“Peaceful friendly and relaxing”
Cornishpasty58(.)
Attentive staff in a beautiful relaxing place. Value for money. The hill did not bother us one bit and we are in our 50's and 60's. Loved mizz and all the other friendly staff... Loved the beautiful pool which we had to ourselves on our last day.

Cafe del Sol (Restaurant) - “Good menu with a variety of options”
CharlieW1985(Manchester, United Kingdom)
We really enjoyed the restaurant as there was something for everyone. The menu included Thai food and Italian food (the owner is Italian) and there were some American style dishes aswell. Service was quick, efficient and very pleasant and the food was always good.

“Excellent boutique hotel!”
Adam M(Dubai, United Arab Emirates)
It all begun when we were picked up on time at the airport and chauffered to the hotel in a very clean and comfortable car. And so begun a flawless few days from start to finish...
We checked in late and there was a lovely lady who had waited for us beyond her shift with a big smile to help us feel settled and comfortable. We checked into our room (Garden Suite) and it was very large and spacious. The room was spotlessly clean, there were flowers scattered on the bed, along with specially folded towels in the shape of swans. The bathroom was fairly large, very clean and I liked the small attention to detail that the hotel had taken into making the room pleasant - for example the blue floor lights in the shower.
The hotel is not on the beach and requires a 5 minute car ride. However, the hotel offers a free day time shuttle service and I was suprised that this wasn't based on a timetable, but they kindly took you to and from the beach whenever you liked! The staff here always offer a welcoming smile and cannot do enough for you. One day I had requested a moped rental and it had not arrived. I was slightly frustrated because I had been waiting for a fair while and I couldn't believe it when the lovely lady behind reception offered to give me her own personal moped for the day (we didn't take her up on this, but the gesture was appreciated!)
Breakfast was adequate (not high end luxury - concentrate juices and average sausages, etc) but perfectly acceptable. Staff were excellent espcecially NItchanun and Giame! Not a beach resort (and we love the beach) but who cares when you have a shuttle service whenever you like and the hotel has a private area on the beach that you can use (they have a modest sunbed charge to help cover costs, but nothing extraordinary).
To summarise - excellent staff, spotlessly clean, peaceful, very comfortable beds, great boutique hotel.
Room Tip: Not a room tip but a good tip is I would recommend the hotel's transport (particularly for airport pick ups/drops). It is the same price as taxi's (perhaps even cheaper) and the cars are much nicer.

“Spettacolare!”
fasmass(Verona, Italy)
...che dire di piu'....semplicemente perfetto per una vacanza con amici...da soli....con famiglia...belle camere ottime colazioni....meravigliosa piscina e contesto naturale.
Posizione invidiabile....difficile fare meglio con questo budget!
E' dal 2006 che lo frequento quasi tutti gli anni....sia solo che con amici-famiglia....un perfetto punto di riferimento a Kata e Phuket in generale....tanto da non avere avuto nessun problema a farci soggiornare moglie e figlia....in solitaria...nel luglio di quest'anno.
Unico consiglio...prenotate per tempo....il paradiso non aspetta gli incerti soprattutto se ha poche e selezionate camere!

“Perfect getaway for couples”
neebydub(Dublin, Ireland)
We were very impressed from start to finish with our stay at Boomerang Village! Loved the juice and cold towels that were served to us on arrival at reception. We booked a pool suite room and it was even better in real life than the photos we had seen previously. The room was decorated with little flowers everywhere and the bed had a swan made out of towels which was another lovely touch. The bed had a pillow-top and was so comfy.
We found the level of service from staff to be excellent they were always checking to see if we needed anything extra or offering umbrellas in the rain!
We are in the restaurant many times during our weeks stay and we really enjoyed the food, there's lots of choice too, only issue we had was that it always seemed to take very long to pay the bill, probably should have put it on our room account instead!
They offer a free shuttle to the beach which is great and they also have a special deal on the sun-loungers so make sure you buy it at reception before you go. Taxi-service is available and rates seemed very reasonable and there was always someone available to take us wherever we wanted to go immediately. Can be difficult sometimes to find a driver to bring you home but they do give you a card when you check in which has the hotel name written on it in Thai so it is handy to have this with you.
We loved the little outdoor office area with the computers and I believe they also had free wifi in the rooms too.
It was very quiet and relaxing and the pool was just perfect too!

“Beautiful Family Destination”
Sherrinfamily(Tasmania)
Our family of 3 stayed for 10 days at eh Boomerang Resort. We found it to be a friendly, relaxed and helpful place. We were able to organize pick up from the airport even though our flight came in quite late and drop off for our return journey home too. The taxis were competatively priced and we used them several times during our stay. Apart from that we utilised the scooters and hired one for each us for 8 days for 250Baht a day plus fuel. This meant we could chose to go out whenever we like and we could visit the beach and restaurants at Kata, Kata Noi and Patong when we liked. The rooms were clean and spacious with air conditioning and set apart so there was very little noise and had relaxing deck chairs at oour front door overlooking the bay. The meals were nice and the staf friendly and helpful. Can't fault it really. There is a steep drive going up to the resort and it is set about 15 minutes walk from Kata Beach but with your own scooter you are more mobile.

Enjoy very much my 2 night stay at Boomerang Resort. Helpful & polite receptionists ( can't remember your name, sorry! Big thanks to you!). I will come again, wait for me!
“A great place for a few days in transit”
Flashpacking2011(Sydney, Australia)
We stayed at Boomerang on transit to Phi Phi. The service from the staff was excellent. We were met at the airport by the hotel driver and driven to the hotel in an excellent car.
We stayed in a room near the pool. It was perfect. We would definitely recommend. A great pool plus you can hire scooters from the hotel. Wear the helmet, I didnt and got a small fine but they took my licence and I had to pay the $10 fine to get it back This took me over an hour to do!
Room Tip: Book the best room they have. Its still great value for money

“Great stay at the Boomerang”
LeoMich(New York City, New York)
For our honeymoon, my wife and I ventured off to Thailand because we wanted the beach scene and a bit of a culture shock....bringing us to Phuket. Using trip advisor reviews, we decided on boomerang because the price is right and its not on the main streets. There are so many things right with hotel but I'll only give you 10...
1- location...not too far from kata beach at all, short ride to Patong, close to Big Buddha
2- the staff is wonderful and they always look to go above and beyond.
3- Very affordable for the price. July is about $45 - $50 a night for a Superior Room (which is more than enough)
4- Room is small but like I said, thats all you need.
5- Motorbike renting on premises (200 baht per day)
6- nothing special about breakfast but it gets your day going right and its free...cant complain.
7- all trips and activities can be booked through the hotel.
8- there aren't too many rooms the resort is NEVER crowded. The pool is just the right size for the amount of guests. Given that this is our honeymoon, this is a big plus for us.
9 - Thai massages poolside are awesome.
10 - SAFE - We felt very safe in this hotel the whole time.
CONS:
- nothing much really. A few bugs here and there. Also, I read people are complaining about the hill. Either rent a scooter or get some exercise...it isn't that bad. They messed up on my taxi pick-up from Phantasea show, but it's ok, mistakes happen and they refunded me no problem.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a getaway but still close to the city.

“Perfect Jewel.”
Diyanrishka(Singapore)
To be truly honest this would be the best short getaway the both of us had in time to come. These would be the few reasons why. Boomerang is tucked in the hills of Kata with lush greenery like a secret oasis. The deluxe cottage given to us (or rather almost all the cottages) had such a great panor...amic view of the gorgeous Andaman sea and the Kata town at night. We particularly love the moment right when we both have had our night shower and are sitting quietly with our hot cups of tea listening to the waves crashing and rolling gently. This, I believe had to be the most awesome sound, together with the cool salty sea air blowing around our hair and rustling leaves! Lovely! The whole resort is pebble lined and the steps are aligned with the prettiest teak handles and 1960s lanterns. The décor continues into the Buddha-Thai inspired room décor with dark furniture, a fully stocked bar and lovely clean bathroom. Upon arrival, we noticed right off the lovely clean sheets, freshly picked orchids as decorations and the tang of the refreshing aromatherapy burning. I would have to say I loved getting our rooms cleaned because the staff would stock our aroma oils up and coming back from a long day in Kata centre to a cool, tang scented room is a lovely pleasure. The rooms and surrounding areas are cleaned daily by the most cheerful staff that would patiently concede to all our requests for extra towels or bottles of water. I would have to say that they are most hardworking cleaning staff I’ve ever seen in any country. Once when my friend was still asleep and I was out at the balcony with my morning coffee and paper, the cleaning staff came up twice to ask me if we wanted our rooms cleaned. They climbed the steep steps just to provide their services. When declined, the receptionist called to confirm that we do not need the cleaning services. Such immaculate services are hard to come by. Taxi services offered by the hotel was wonderful since it cost half of what the tuk tuk or taxi services outside would charge. We would have tried to conquer the steep hill on the way up each day but it proves too much for us even as fit as we are. Once the good-natured owner Mr Basso fetched us from a restaurant and we had a jovial time teasing and chatting with him on the way up. Besides that they also provide rental for bikes at 200baht per day that beats those around the Kata centre that charges by the hour. We also found the breakfast provided by the resort to be wonderful! In particular the pancakes. With butter or jam this would be one of the best pancakes I've ever had ever. Once the pancakes was out due to its popularity in the morning and the chef upon seeing my crestfallen face offered to make some and a couple of omelettes for me and my friend. Needless to say we were thrilled! The resort is a mere 15 minutes away from the beach and 10 mins away from supermarkets like tesco, 7-11, many restaurants and other shops. My friend and I had a ball of our time reading, drawing and relaxing by the beach then going for a massage and a good meal before returning to our oasis. ☺ We would like to thank all the wonderful, hardworking staff, in particular, Mr O, Nit and Tee for the immaculate services where many a times they’ve raced to our rooms to help us with anything we’ve had trouble with. From finding the three point adaptor plug for our electronics to the television cable problems due to the strong wind condition, ir-regardless if it was night or day. Oh! And a word of advice! If you decide to stay in Kata please load on the mosquito repellent. The really vicious ones attacks when the sun goes down. Thank goodness for the incense provided by the hotel staff. Thank you for the lovely memories! We would definitely be back soon ♥ Here's to a prosperous future for Boomerang :) Ps: Apologies for the book I've written. Room Tip: Ask for those in midhill.

Cafe del Sol Italian/Thai restaurant “Excellent Thai food with excellent service”
6monthsout(Sydney, Australia)
This restaurant serves excellent Thai food. My husband ordered the sweet and sour which was one of the best we had in Thailand. The Italian food was good but I'd recommend ordering the Thai food as it was so much better. Don't be put off by the fact that the hotel is up a hill just outside the main streets of Kata - the hotel arranged a car to take us back to our hotel for free and gave us a thank you gift. Best service we have ever received from a restaurant!

Grazie ed arrivederci al prossimo anno.

Boomerang village una struttura davvero eccellente, le camere (io ho soggiornato in una suite garden) sono nuove e spaziose, buona la colazioze e il ristorante!ottima la posizione, leggermente fuori dal centro un po' caotico di kata, è un'oasi per il relax, un giardino zen, in posizione strategica per spiagge e divertimenti!Gestione italiana personale disponibile!!grazie per il bel ricordo che rimane di voi!!
“Ottimo alloggio a Phuket!”
Serand24(Seravezza, Italy)
E' stato più che piacevole il nostro soggiorno al Boomerang, primo per l'accoglienza, secondo per come sono gli alloggi ed il cibo. Se aggiungiamo che la posizione è ottima direi che tutto questo è un bel mix! I gestori sono stati anche molto gentili nel consigliarci con chi fare le escursioni, dove andare a mangiare o dove trovare spiagge belle ed isolate.
Ci tornerei molto volentieri e lo consiglio veramente!!!
“Absolute Bliss!!”
Emma & Joe(Carlisle, United Kingdom)
Myslef and my partner went on our second holiday to phuket in September and loved Kata so wanted to stay closer to it this time around. I just wouldnt go back in September as the weather was a bit hit or miss! When arriving at the hotel the staff could not have been more helpful, the hotel is only small and broken up into different blocks but this makes it so much more personal and you get to know the staff. We stayed in the suite room overlooking the pool, its a huge room with a lovely bathroom and a balcony with views over the pool and the sea. The breakfasts were very nice, there could have been more variety but everything was freshly made. We didnt eat tea in the restaurant at night as there are so many restaurnts to chose from down in the town but i will recommend the ice cream sundays at the hotel-AMAZING! There is also a selection of DVDs to chose from in all languages for those nights you just fancy relaxing. The hotel hire out scooters for a very good rate so i would recommend getting one, and they are a huge help for getting around. The hill upto the hotel is nothing either, you can bomb up and down on the scooter so quick you stop thinking about it. The hotel is ideally situated for everything so i would travel about and see as much as you can! We loved it, definately not a 3* its so much better!! We would definately go back it really is a beautiful place to stay.
Thank you Boomerang :-)

Il personale italiano è fantastico, sempre disponibile e ricco di risorse... ti senti subito a tuo agio e quasi ti sembra di stare in Italia.
I cottage sono grandi, puliti e comodi... un sogno!
Andateci pure tranquillamente... è un vero affare!
“WOW - A simply magical experience in an ever soooo friendly exotic paradise! :-).....”
SYElaine('Boro UK)
I'd spotted Boomerang Village on TA around a year ago & it was love @ 1st sight - from the photos it looked ever so beautiful, with a fantastic unique pool & beautiful gardens, with swiss style cottages, furnished to a very high standard in a traditional thai style, i simply had to holiday there, so myself & my partner booked it & saved up for a year (If you're gonna have a dream holiday, you've gotta make sure it's properly funded right!) & looked longingly @ the photos & perfect reviews of the place, as the months ticked by......Well all i can say is after holidaying there is - the place far far exceeded my expectations, it's definitely different to your average holiday resort, BUT in a good way, it's really smart BUT also quiet & has an exclusive feel, perched up on a hillside in Kata, not an overly commercial venture, but one where you can see an awful lot of planning & effort has gone into creating a retreat that's guaranteed to give you a magical experience & it definitely delivers! One thing i wasn't prepared for was the warmth & friendliness of the Thai people themselves, far more genuinely friendly than any other race of people i've ever met, especially the staff @ BV who are magnificent, nothing was too much trouble & you were always greeted with a smile off everyone, we had a problem with our shower & safe while we were there & both times it was sorted out immediately with no fuss, as for Phuket itself, being a native of England - It's sooo sooo hot, BUT ever so beautiful & we did a pretty good job of checking it out over two weeks, i'd recommend anyone to holiday there & especially in Kata as it's nicer than the commercial Patong & within striking distance if that's your thing, as for Boomerang Village - The secret's definitely out, it fully deserves it's ratings on TA & other sites, i suppose it''ll get ever more popular as a result, hopefully not so popular that i wont be able to make a reservation should i return to Thailand, i'd go back in a heartbeat, BUT want to see a bit more of the world 1st, so i couldn't say i'll definitely be back next yr, maybe the yr after! ;-).......Just one more thing - Thank you to all @ BV for a magical experience @ your heavenly retreat, one we'll never forget! :-) xSY & Elaine

“un posto da sogno!!!”
APEMAYA75(MEZZAGO)
Durata della vacanza: dal 30 Ottobre (con arrivo a Phuket il 31/10) al 14 Novembre (partenza da Phuket il 13/11).
Compagnia aerea utilizzata : Etihad Airways
L'inizio non ci prospetta nulla di buono.
30/10: A Malpensa il volo ha già 4 ore di ritardo e, dalle 22, la partenza slitta alle 2 di notte.
Facendo scalo ad Abu Dhabi ed a Bangkok, a causa di questo ritardo, saltano anche le altre 2 coincidenze aeree.
Etihad ha comunque gestito la cosa in maniera egregia riprenotando su altri voli e non facendo saltare la classe prenotata (business class che consiglio assolutamente).
Teniamo avvisato il Sig. Paolo del Boomerang dei ritardi e del nuovo orario di arrivo a Phuket (avendo prenotato il servizio taxi con loro era il minimo che potevamo fare).
Praticamente, invece di arrivare a Phuket il 31 Ottobre, arriviamo il 1 Novembre e ci "giochiamo" un giorno di vacanza.
Con piacere ho però notato che, nonostante il soggiorno fosse stato prenotato dal 31 Ottobre, questo giorno non ci viene conteggiato (trovatemi un altro posto dove fanno così...) per il conto finale.
1 Novembre: arrivo al Boomerang e qui ci stupisce (molto piacevolmente) il giardino nel mezzo del quale, quà e là, ci sono i cottage.
Noi abbiamo prenotato un cottage Suite.
Camera 114.
A bordo piscina.
La camera è spaziosissima, bella, arredata con ottimo gusto e pulita.
La colazione è abbondante, ottima e per tutti i gusti.
Dalle 16 alle 17 c'è l'happy hour in piscina.
Al prezzo di 1, prendi 2 ottimi Mai Thai (questa era la nostra ordinazione solita).
Il ristorante propone cucina sia italiana che thai.
Essendo in Thailandia, è ovvio che cerco la cucina locale che trovo ottima.
Servizio ineccepibile e camerieri disponibilissimi.
Dopo la prima settimana di sole immersioni (fuori dalla camera alla mattina presto e rientro al Boomerang nel tardo pomeriggio), abbiamo noleggiato lo scooter sempre tramite il Boomerang.
Purtroppo la seconda settimana (che avevamo programmato come puro relax, sole, mare e shopping) viene rovinata dal brutto tempo che quasi non dà tregua.
Poco male, ci armiamo di poncho di plastica e partiamo in sella al nostro scooter.
Purtroppo il tempo è trascorso troppo velocemente e il 13 Novembre siamo dovuti partire per tornare in Italia.
Ci siamo affidati ancora al servizio taxi del Boomerang che si è rivelato per la seconda volta, preciso, veloce e puntualissimo.
Un posto veramente consigliato a tutti, sia a chi cerca la movida (in circa 10/15 minuti di scooter si arriva alla caotica Patong) sia a chi cerca la tranquillità (i cottage sono su una collinetta e quindi lontano dal caos).
Torneremo sicuramente.
Un grazie particolare al Sig. Paolo :-)

Just came back today after seven nights with my wife and daughter here.This place does all the basics very well with clean, spacious rooms and well maintained grounds. The suite we had was restocked with fresh towels for room and beach daily. Tea, coffee and kettle in room. Free bottles of water daily. The owners have a very good sense of style and design as every detail seems well thought out. You definitely know you are in Thailand when you stay here as there are Buddist inspired statues and detailing throughout the rooms and communal areas. The staff are very approachable and its as far away from a bland 'chain' hotel as its possible to be. Excellent value and would definitely stay again.
“Muy recomendable”
javiTarragona(tarragona)
Unas cabañas muy bonitas, bien decoradas, cómodas, todo el pequeño complejo lleno de vegetación. El personal "super" atento. Es ideal si quieres tranquilidad ya que no está situado en el centro. Está subiendo una colina, incluida una gran cuesta, pero desde allí tienes unas bonitas vistas. Está a 5-10 min en moto de Patong, donde está todo la marcha.
"parfait”

I stayed here from the 24th-30th October 2010 on advice from a friend at work. He told me it was hard to book as it was so popular. If i could have stayed there another week, then I would have done so. I have never had such a rewarding, relaxing holiday, and I will be back there in April 2011 for Thailand New Year.
The hotel, and all its amenities where excellent, and the staff would have to be the best i have ever met. The attention to detail, from the reception, to the restaurant, to the grounds staff and management where First Class.
The breakfast started at 8 am I think, and finished at 1 or so, which meant you could sleep in, and still make it to breakfast in time. Where else in the world do you have this luxury? And the food/drinks/wine list are on par with the 5 Star Restaurants in the world.
The hotel setting is up a hill side, far enough away, so that its very quiet and tranquil, yet close enough to be an easy walk to the shops/beach or you could take there free transport.
The views are to die for.
You owe it to yourself to go here once in your lifetime, then you will become a Boomerang, always returning.

Nella nostra scorsa recensione, datata 7 maggio, scrivevamo: " In una prossima vacanza in Thailandia sicuramente torneremo a soggiornare quà" ed è ciò che abbiamo fatto. L' accoglienza, la professionalità e la gentilezza di Paolo Basso e Paolo Berlese è stata insuperabile sotto ogni aspetto, pensate che il nostro soggiorno era stato sul punto di essere annullato a causa di un incidente stradale di mia moglie, costretta a muoversi con un tutore, la direzione del Boomerang, appena informata dell' accaduto, non ha esitato ad offrirci una sistemazione vicinissima alla reception, piscina e ristorante. Le villette molto spaziose in stile Thay, il personale qualificato, sempre sorridente, disponibile e gentile, il ristorante con ottima cucina italiana e thailandese, la piscina ampia, soleggiata e dotata di idromassaggio, l' immerso verde che circonda il villaggio con un' ottima vista panoramica e l' impareggiabile silenzio che sovrasta fanno di questo posto UN' OASI DI TRANQUILLITA' magistralmente orchestrata dai due Paolo posti alla guida di questo ineguagiabile angolo di Phuket.
Grazie di cuore a tutti voi che vi siete prodigati per renderci il soggiorno indimenticabile

“Only place to stay in Kata”
TamaraSA(Johannesburg, South Africa)
I stayed at the boomerang village in kata during the month of September because I wanted to relax and be by the most beautiful beach in Phuket. I could not have been more graciously welcomed. Firstly, I was astonished at how beautiful the resort was. The rooms are tastefully decorated with thai masks, and flowers, and the overwhelming smell of the aroma therapy oils with candles everywhere was so beautiful indeed. Also, the breakfast buffet is open till late so that the guests can sleep in. Great idea. And my favourite feature of all is the gorgeous pool and the walkways and garden at night. .It's as if you have entered into your own , private world at the boomerang. The staff are all lovely and obliging. Very friendly and helpful. I had the most relaxing and beautiful holiday in phuket because of the boomerang. And I definitely will be returning soon.
Thank you paolo and staff!

emvsworld(Melbourne, Australia)
Service was extremely warm, accommodating and hospitable. Room was comfortable and clean. 15mins walk from town means close enough to all shops and restaurants whilst far enough away to avoid traffic/town noise. Highly recommend hiring a scooter. Whilst location on the side of hill added a bit more exercise to the walk home, the view from the pool/restaurant made it worthwhile. Happy hour by the pool was a favorite! Wish i could have stayed for another month!
"relax totale!”

At Boomerang Village you totally come to peace
americagirl22(Rotterdam)
Our stay at Boomerang Village in Phuket was delightful!
After a long flight from Amsterdam we were pretty jetlagged and it was such a bless to arrive at Boomerang Village. The pool they have is an oasis of tranquility, it was never crowded with people and therefore the perfect place to relax and come to peace.
The room was also very nice and spacious. And at night the place looks like a fairy tale with all the little torches lit up along the drive way and next to the bungalows.
People who say Kata Beach is a 40 minute walk are out of their minds: it was just a 15 - 20 minute walk but you could also just as easily take a tuktuk (don't pay more than 150 bath though!). We rented a scooter/motorbike from the hotel for 200 bath for a full day and toured the kata beach area ourselves. A really fun way to explore the beaches.
Lovely Hotel - Great Staff
littledownend(Gloucester, United Kingdom)
We booked Boomerang after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor and very glad we did.
The process was really easy - emailed the hotel and received responsed almost immediately.
The hotel is on a hill, away from the bustle of the town - but free transport to and from the town makes it easy to access the beach, etc.
The boys (15 + 18) particularly liked breakfast being served until 1 pm!!
The hotel is small - just 17 rooms, but each is beautifully presented, representing the local culture and architecture.
On our last day we arranged to leave early - before breakfast was due to be served, but we received a phone call to say that we could take an early breakfast.
The pool is sparklingly clean making it a pleasure to swim in - especially at 'Happy Hour' when all drinks are 2-for-1. I'd recommend the Singapore Sling!!
Fantastico!

Boomerang Villlage - Paradise in Phuket
shaneuva(Queensland)
Having recently stayed at Boomerang Village at Kata for 4 days, I thought it necessary to write a short review detailing my experience at this location. In short, I cannot recommend Boomerang Village highly enough and would go so far as to say in all my travels throughout SE Asia, Boomerang Village at Kata would go close to rating as the nicest, friendliest place I have stayed at anywhere in the region.
Having been upgraded from a Superior Bungalow to a Deluxe on arrival, I was thrilled when I first stepped inside to see how beautiful the bungalow was. The bed was covered in freshly picked orchid flowers which were scattered beautifully across the bed, as well as in other places throughout the bungalow. The 4 poster King-size bed was very confortable and even lying in bed we could see the ocean in the distance. The front verandah/porch was a great spot for sitting in the afternoon with a beer and good book to relax and admire the gorgeous tropical gradens and landscaping throughout.
In terms of the staff, each person we had any contact with could not have been any nicer or more professional. I would like to give particular mention to one of the night receptionists, ‘Somlack’. Having to be out of bed early to go on day tours on two occasions, Somlack actually went to the trouble of both arranging to open the kitchen early so we could have a light breakfast before we left for the day, and on the second occasion, Somlack actually prepared a lovely packed breakfast for us the night before which consisted of fresh fruit, breads and cereals. Somlack went above and beyond her normal duty to make sure we had something to eat which I thought was fantastic customer service!
I might also add that the included buffet breakfast is delicious, and as well as the more traditional Asian dishes available, a range or meats, hams and cheese is also provided for those westerners like me missing food from home.
Although Boomerang Village is located some way from the beach, I believe therein lies one of its big advantages. It is very quiet and peaceful and away from any hustle and bustle. For those people not wanting to rent a motorbike from Boomerang, there is a bus provided by them which provides a complimentary morning and afternoon shuttle to the beach. There is also a lovely, clean pool which is great for lazing around and taking advantage of Boomerang’s daily happy hour.
All in all, Boomerang Village is an amazing place to spend a week and it is now the only place I will stay at when in Phuket. As I mentioned earlier, I just can’t recommend the place highly enough considering how inexpensive it is – thank you everyone at Boomerang for a wonderful stay!
Thai style relaxation overlooking busy Kata
lowcarbon(Melbourne)
We stayed here for 10 nights with our twin 16 year old boys and had a wonderful time. Our rooms were next door to the pool and were enormous with fabulous statues inside! Every day we got up later and later as relaxation started to take over. The staff were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed without ever intruding. We particularly enjoyed the pool and the bar. This is a small hotel with gardens all around. We were given a free shuttle down to the beach whenever we asked and on our last day were able to stay in the room until we had to leave for the airport with no extra cost. The walk down to the beach and back is also fun. Lots of restaurants nearby but the restaurant in the hotel is fine. Kata beach is a great surf beach and the shops/restaurants on the way to Karon were great. The photos on the website are an accurate description - just have a look, it is all true!
Most memorable
bettyboppy(melbourne)
I suppose when the ground staff are singing will they work gives an indication of the treat that awaits. Lovely gardens, friendly staff, great facilities. Perfect for a private get-away whether alone or with loved ones. Have already booked for next year.
Friendly beautiful place
searcherNetherlands(Netherlands)
We are family of 4 persons of the Netherlands , 2 adults and 2 children off 12 and 16 years old.
We have a friendly pick up at Phuket airport , on the way the mini van driver told us about some interesting points.
At the moment I'm still staying at Boomerang Village.
So far so excellent .
When we arrived the reception people ,offer us some drinks.
They informed us about Boomerang Village and the excursions if we want to do this.
After that another man bring our suitcases to our room.
My first thoughts were wow, flowers on the bed,lovely smell, and more flowers everywhere I look.
Free Internet connection at our rooms.
A beautifull garden en a welcome paper on the table also a little paper that they will work in the garden for the next 2 days.
Well informed.
There's a little swimming pool with jacuzzi.
The place is very beautiful,peacefull and a service with a smile.
The breakfast will be until 13:00 ! and is very tastefull, croissants,toast,eggs,yoghurt,fruits and so one,could I ask for more ?
Indeed you need transportation to the beach because the entrance hill will be a problem for people with legg and health problems.
Because Boomerang Village offers a beach transportation there's no problem.
I make a telephone call from the little beach bar ( who serve drinks a menu and free wave boards ) to let me pick me up.
Again no problem at all because I will make my own time.
Until now I have every evening my dinner at the restaurant.
A absolute lovely place with a again a service with a smile.
I have eat Italian food, Thai Food , we loved it.
The price is very good ,actually very very low.
I booked this hotel because we came from Pattaya where we have done some excursions and after Phuket we will travel to Bangkok with again excursions.
Boomerang Village will be the place to relax until now I have no complains at all only that hill,.....
The price/quality is very very good.
Great price, great experience
sunsnoozer(Sydney, Australia)
Stayed here for 4 nights and i would definitely stay here again. We requested a late check out as our flight only departed at 11PM and they were more than accommodating.
We also tried the room-service which was reasonably priced and quite tasty.
Its a bit far away from Patong and other shopping destinations but it was never too hard to get a Tuk-Tuk from the main road.
We got a Superior Bungalow and the rooms were really large and spacious. Staff were also extremely helpful and had good english. Great stay!
Excellent
andai(Johor Bahru, Malaysia)
Stayed here for 3 nights with my wife and the only thing that I can say... PERFECT! It's my wife birthday and we also celebrating her graduation. I ask the Boomerang gang to prepare something special for the occasion and it turned out to be better than expected. We have the Spaghetti with Crab (extremely delicious!) and we have the candle light dinner at the poolside and it was very beautiful. The staff is very, very professional even they don't speak excellent English (so do us... :)
The room itself is awesome! We stayed at the Deluxe room on top of the hill overlooking the town and Andaman sea. The gang also prepare an excellent bed setting with flowers and swans towel arrangement on day 2 which surprised me and my wife. Lucky me... :)
Pool happy hour from 4 to 5 is value for money (buy 1 get another free). We never missed it even for a day. The environment nearby the pool is so relaxing, and that is exactly what we looking for on this trip (away from the kids), after our trip to Tokyo and Pangkor 3 weeks earlier.
The price is unbelievable. With the service and facilities provided, we would expect to pay more.
We would like to recommend it especially to couples looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway, as one of the resort guest were saying... "This place is just like heaven".. we totally agree with him...
Finally, to the Boomerang staff... Thank you very much for your kind hospitality and excellent services... We'll see you in the future...

Location de voiture ou de scooters pour se déplacer sans souci. Kata beach étant une des plages les plus agréable de la région donc tout pour avoir envie d'y rester ou d'y revenir.

ITTP(Prague)
I stayed here for 6 nights earlier this month specifically to work on a new business venture and for me this place was almost perfect.
I am not really a fan of the girlie bar scene but unfortunately this is reality for most of Phuket and the walk from the Boomerang to the Beach meant receiving the usual come-ons from the local girlie brigade.
If you do choose to stay in Kata then the Boomerang would be the only choice.
Great staff.
Lovely pool.
Very decent breakfast.
Superb Deluxe room.
The rooms have a safe and the internet is free. The speed was very good and apart from the occasional blip in the reception overall it was perfect for my purpose and I used the internet solidly throughout my stay there.
The management here obviously have a genuine interest in their guests and the girl on main reception was incredibly professional at her job.
When I left I was given a leaving gift.
Highly recommended!
A great find
Hobarttraveller53(Hobart, Australia)
We have just spent eight nights at Boomerang and our intention was to have a relaxing time and Boomerang fitted the bill perfectly. The restaurant reopened on our first full day which was great. Breakfast is served from 8am until 1pm and because the resort is intimate, guests get to know one another in the dining room. The staff just keep on making coffee for you, and with a smile! It's only a few minutes walk to Kata beach and the hilly bit on the way back up is only short (less than a minute) and very manageable. There's a handy 7/11 on the main road if you need extra supplies. Our room was clean and there were plenty of towels every day. We had our own outdoor area with comfortable chairs and a table. The food in the dining room is very good, a little more expensive than in Kata but not prohibitively so. The pool is gorgeous and very clean. If you need a taxi, reception will order it for you and they also arrange the taxi (and the price) to the airport so you are not hassled. We had a wonderful time there and we would recommend it to anyone not wanting a large, impersonal resort. The only suggestion I would make is that maybe the resort shouldn't be open to children under the age of 12. The day before we left a family with three young children arrived and the pool isn't really big enough for inflatables and splashing about. It also disturbed the tranquility of the resort. I believe Boomerang is best suited to adults.
Excellent service and value for money

Lina(Naples, Italy)
Me and my husband have just come back from a fantastic holiday in Phuket. We stayed at the Boomerang Cottage village and did not regret it, l discovered this resort on internet and instantly fell in love with the place, and booked a 2 weeks stay. The staff is wonderful, especially Mr. Paolo nothing is to much trouble, we were upgraded to one of the beautiful poolside suites, which was really a lovely surprise for us, the rooms are spacious, confortable and very clean, towels and sheets are changed everyday. The tropical gardens are divine and the view breathtaking, the restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed eating there every evening. We highly reccomend the Boomerang Village, and we look forward to come back in this unique place.
Vacanza indimenticabile, albergo da sogno
Valentina(Milano)
Ci siamo affidati e soprattutto fidati del sito del Boomerang Village ed abbiamo prenotato dall'Italia. Il villaggio è esattamente come si vede dalle foto, anzi forse anche meglio!
E' composto da una decina di cottage immersi nella natura, tutti con un proprio dehor con due sdraio, ed internamente arretati in stile thai e molto confortevoli.
Chicca di queste camere, è la porta vetro oscurata esternamente ma che ti permette di vedere al di fuori e quindi ti regala una sensazione di spazio aperto.
La prima colazione è servita nel piccolo ristorantino del villaggio ed è molto ricca. La sera si può anche cenare, i piatti sono sia locali che italiani, entrambi buoni e a buon prezzo. I 3 proprietari sono italiani, e per qualsiasi cosa rivolgetevi a loro perchè sono molto disponibili e competenti.
La struttura è vicina alla spiaggia più bella di Phuket, basta munirsi di uno scooter e la si raggiunge in 5 minuti!
Per coloro che vogliono spendere ancora meno, possono andare nell'altra struttura sempre della stessa proprietà, composta da bongalow: in tal caso la sistemazione è un pochino più spartana, ma molto comoda e confortevole.
If there is such a thing as paradise!
Pat & John Mount Tamborine(mount tamborine)
We found it! This four day stay was absolutely breathtaking. The picturesque setting in the hillside with its exotic gardens just whet the appetite for what we were about to experience as we stepped into our charming little cottage full of Thai charm. But that wasn't all, the magnificent pool area landscaped to perfection for our physical and visual comfort. Beside it down some stairs was the lovely Cafe del Sol with its tempting menus and views. We could go on.. Paolo was a wonderful host and his staff were first rate. We look forward to coming back to this unique and exotic place.

We discivered this resort on Internet in June 2009, and were lucky there still 2 cottages for reservation. What a splendid holiday we had. A beautiful quiet place in the middle of nature, friendly staff, Italien owners and management, but no problem for English language. Paolo 2 and Orfeo always there for a helping hand when needed. Organize sightseehing was not more expensive at reception as in town. Receptionist English is very bad. Bur Paolo 2 is always arround. Changing money was at good rate. Food and drinks normal prices even cheaper then in town. Thai and italian kitchen. We were here for a month. And with a good health we will be back next year. Also Manging director Paolo Basso is a very kind host;
Just Perfect

Just returned from the most perfect place. Boomerang will most certainly remain in our thoughts. We had a wonderful holiday. Boomerang is all you could wish for and more. Delightful staff from the young man who tends the pool to the boss. Restaurant serving good food with a smile, nothing is to much trouble. I hope we can make it back another year

A great find
TAHull(Kingston upon Hull, England)
We were delighted to stay at the Boomerang Village and became more and more impressed with our choice as we saw what else was on offer in the are and at what price. We had a superior room which was a detached bungalow with a big bedroom and impressively sized bathroom and shower room. Beautifully furnished and a great swimming pool. The attached restaurant which is called the Cafe del Sol provides excellent evening meals in a lovely setting at very good prices. The village of Kata was not so much to our liking being just a bit too busy.
trip advisor reviews did not let us down

We stayed at Boomerang cottages for 2 nights of our honeymoon in Thailand. We were only really here as a stop over between Singapore and Koh Phi Phi, but Boomerang made a really big impression. We arrived in the evening and received a very warm welcome. The place seemed magical to us, set up on the hill, with the beautiful, tropical gardens all lit up, and the smell of exotic oils burning in the rooms. The accommodation was fantastic, and very romantic. We stayed in a Deluxe cottage, our room was large, and very well equiped considering the price. You get a feeling that the owners put a lot of love into this place, and every detail is carefully thought out. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food is simply fantastic, as is the ambience in the retaurant. We had the best meal of our whole honeymoon here. The pool is very pretty and relaxing. You have the feeling of being in an exclusive, boutique resort. In summary, we think Boomerang Village Cottages is a hidden gem, really beautiful. We can't say enough good things - Over all, 10 stars out of 5!
Boom L ang up the mountain
Dziadziu(Peterborough ON)
This was our second magnificent visit to Thailand.The Boomerang was everything and more than expected during our week there.We reserved a suite near the pool since I am disabled --- a great choice.This is a small intimate resort which is a welcome change to a frenetic lifestyle. English is not a strong suit in this part of Phuket so according to the locals we stayed at Boom L ang up the mountain. A magnificent part of our Asian Adventure.Many thanks again to all for our stay at "A Piece of Paradice"
From the moment we arrived we were welcomed, and felt right at home
daarl(South Australia)
Paolo and Paolo and the wonderful staff at the Boomerang enhanced our stay on Phuket. We were warmly welcomed, then led to the lounge area where we were given a refreshing welcome drink,and informed of tours and how to make the best of the Boomerang's facilities. We were upgraded to one of the beautiful suites, and found it to be very comfortable, and immaculately clean. The decor was very tasteful and the special thought regarding the guest's comfort, a joy, quality of linen and everything in the room was great. The bed was really comfortable. There were orchids scattered around an oil burner filling the room with a divine fragrance, the ambiance very welcoming.
The gardens are divine and so well cared for, the pool crystal clear, and happy hour every afternoon is a great way to enjoy the view from the pool landing.
The restaurant has an extensive menu, the service was excellent, nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff everywhere at the Boomerang even the valet were warm, friendly and very accommodating. They organised travel arrangements for us, taxis, and drove us to the beach which is only 5 minutes away, we walked back as it is not that far, but you can organise a pick up if necessary,
Even though it is back from the beach, it is much quieter, and being perched on the side of a hill the breezes and view were wonderful. There was a lot of building happening at the beach so we were very glad of our decision to stay at the Boomerang. We stayed at the Boomerang for 3 days then traveled through Thailand for a few weeks, returning the Boomerang for another 3 days before we flew home. We highly recommend the Boomerang. The hospitality, cleanliness, attention to detail, restaurant, cocktails and the outstanding staff will definitely encourage us to visit the Boomerang when we return to Phuket. Kata Beach is a lovely part of Phuket, laid back and offers plenty to do. Thank you to all at the Boomerang, we felt very at home and cared well for.
Amazing Stay at Boomerang Cottages
JLiggins(San Francisco, CA)
Tonight is our last night at Boomerange Village and we are sad to leave this tranquil and peaceful resort. Everything has been wonderful, right from the start. As promised, a driver was waiting for us at the airport upon our arival. We were taken to the resort in a comfortable car with AC ( which was much needed after a 20 hour flight). Once we arrived, we were greated and offered a cold fruity drink. Yet another nice gesture. We stayed at cottage #4, which was beautifully decorated, clean and air conditioned. It had a safe and a fridge with free water replenished daily. We headed straight for the pool. Their happy hour special (buy one drink get one free) is exactly what we needed!
The staff at the this resort is awlays polite and helpful. We forgot our converter, but Mr. Paolo came to the rescue and provided us with one. We used their services to rent a moped, which was less expensive than anywhere else in town. They were very helpful with directions and suggestions for places to go and things to see. The security guard just like the rest of the staff greet you with smile every day.
The daily breakfast had a nice variety and tasty options to choose from. We also tried appetizers for their happy hour and the food was flavorful and nicely presented.
Boomerang Village is located on the hill, surrounded by luscious greenery. You really feel like you are in the tropics, so quiet and peaceful. The walk to the beach is easy and you are close to all the markets, shops, restaurants and other activities.
We would definitely recomment this hotel to a friend and hope to come back again in the future.
a piece of heaven
charley48(idaho)
We just left the Boomerang Village Cottages, and sad to leave. From the moment we arrived, you can just feel the peaceful tranquility. You are escorted into a waiting lounge, and given a cold drink. The view is wonderful, the music is tranquil, and the vegetation is exotic. The property if filled with the most beautiful buddah pieces, i had to buy one just like it...heavy to bring home!!
The staff couldn't be nicer. Everyone was willing to help and made our stay wonderful. i was apprehensive to eat in the small resturant, as i am a chef and wondered how it would be...FABULOUS, and the price was wonderful. Actually, we ate there the last 2 nights, as we had found the perfect food and surroundings. The food staff just couldn't be better, the food was perfect, and i am hard to please...and the hauntinly beautiful music is playing...so romantic. Try the coconut icecream, served in a coconut with a heart of chocolate in the middle...yummy.
Never got to meet the owner, Paolo, but his assistant, Paolo, was able to answer all the questions and make our trip the best.
They have a service to the beach, which isn't that far and on vacation, the exercise is worth the walk, and the staff was always on time to pick us up. If they couldn't take us, they paid for the cab.
It is well worth the cab fare, to and fro from the airport, as there are no stops. Would recommend that you hire them!!
I just hope that in my life time i have the chance to visit this quiet , romantic hotel again.
Thanks so much,,
carla
Tranquilidad y servicio excelente

El hotel está compuesto por una veintena de cabañas con AC, minibar, baño completo, internet wifi y TV por satélite. Disponen de un amplio ventanal con vistas al mar de unos 3 metros de ancho por 2 de alto (prácticamente toda la fachada). La decoración está muy cuidada, al igual que las instalaciones y la limpieza. Muy buen desayuno servido hasta tarde. Disponen de un servicio de transporte gratuito a la playa de Kata y de un amplo abanico de servicios turisticos a precio similar a cualquier agencia de la zona. Afortunadamente, estos servicios extra están disponibles pero los empleados no dan la típica charla intentando venderlo. El personal del hotel es muy amable. Como único punto negativo, el hotel está un poco alejado de la playa, a unos 10 o 15 minutos a pie.
Precio barato, en torno a los 30€ con desayuno en habitación superior. También disponen de un restaurante italiano con 10% de descuento para clientes del hotel.

Great Private Resort
Jim_n_Lucy(Australia & Canada)
We had a blast while in Phuket & the Boomerang cottages were just what we were after. It was incredibly cheap, in a great spot with a view although sometimes got a bit much always needing a lift into town. Kata was so relaxing especially compared to Patong & the beaches are beautiful. We hired a scooter from the hotel very cheap (150 baht for 24 hours) & rode into Patong which was hectic but fun. The hotels restaurant was pretty good & we ate here a few times, breakfast was great as it was a full buffet with nice coffee & all free. The pool was really nice & we enjoyed the 2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour while in the spa. We loved the place & will think about going back.
A relaxed and friendly place to come back to
SE16Dave(Australian in London)
I stayed here for four nights after reading the great reviews on TripAdvisor. As all the other rooms were booked I payed for one of the larger villa rooms near the pool, which afforded great views down the hill toward Kata village.
The room was decorated beautifully and I loved the bed. You could tell the owners put a lot of pride in the way they present the rooms and the gardens. I liked the feel of the place. It had a more personal and friendly feel, which would have been lost at one of the larger chain resorts. Upon arrival I was taken through everything I needed to know and my stay was certainly a comfortable one. It is a very peaceful place to spend your time in Kata away from the traffic and the main tourist strip and I would highly recommend it.
Yes, it is a bit of a hike from the beach but I hired a scooter to take care of that and yes, the hill you have to climb to get to the cottages is pretty steep! It's also quite funny having to wait at the traffic lights to get up or down the hill, but I can understand why they're there!
The free wi-fi was great also!! Something none of any of the 5-star hotels I stayed in in other cities on this trip provided.
Perfect
Verona_Cor(Verona Italy)
Hightly racomended. Among the nature, but only few minutes from the beaches. Perfect for a quiet vacation, away from the busy streets. Really nice, clean and with a perfect organization. We will come back again!

A little piece of heaven
Hannah(Southampton, United Kingdom)
The relaxing tranquil feel, very peacful and amazing service. Yet close enough to experience the area first hand, close to the beach, restaurants and nightlife. A little piece of heaven.
A lovely place

Magnífico
Voyagerz(Miami)
Nos encantó boomerang Village. Nuestra cabaña era precioso con una ciudad y vistas al océano. El hotel está ubicado en una colina lejos del ruido y tráfico. El entorno y la decoración era preciosa y con buen gusto. El desayuno era fantástico y el menú del restaurante para comprar snacks y la cena tenía una variedad muy buena. La ubicación era perfecta y a una corta distancia a Kata Beach en unos 15 minutos. El servicio lanzadera también es proporcionada por el hotel a la playa también. Lo recomendamos encarecidamente este lugar maravilloso de Phuket para unas vacaciones relajantes.
Superbe hôtel où passer ses vacances
chibi53(Toulouse)
Nous étions deux couples et nous avons passé deux nuits au "Boomerang Cottage Villages" et même si ce fut court; ce fut un séjour vraiment bien et pour plusieurs raisons :
-les chambres sont parfaitement entretenues et bien décorées, dans le style thaïlandais ; elles ont l'air conditionné, le ventilo, le frigo, télé, douche et toilettes (d'ailleurs petit plus pour l'environnement, l'air conditionné et les lumières s'éteignent automatiquement lorsque vous quittez et femez votre chambre)
- les bungalows sont sur une colline, séparés de l'agitation de Kata et dans un jardin magnifiquement réalisé ; c'est paisible, reposant et on entend que le bruit des animaux. Il y a peu de bungalows donc ca reste très calme. Par contre c'est un peu loin de la plage donc il faut prévoir un moyen de locomotion genre scooter et l'hotel en loue pr 200 bats la journée (4euros). Phuket est une île où se balader en scooter reste la meilleure des solutions pour pouvoir découvrir les jolies coins de l'île et la circulation est vraiment plus facile qu'à Bangkok! D'ailleurs Kata est un super endroit avec une très joli plage et moins bruyant que Patong.
- le service est impeccable, le responsable de l'hotel est prêt à se plier en 4 pour répondre à tes besoins. Notre avion de retour sur Bangkok étant tard et le checkout étant à 14h normalement, le responsable de l'hotel nous a laissé un bungalow pour 4 pour qu'on puisse profiter de la plage et se doucher après. Dès qu'ils le peuvent, ils essaient de faciliter notre séjour.
- le petit déjeuner est compris dans le séjour et c'est un buffet à volonté avec café, jus d'orange frais, fruit, toast, beurre, confiture, jambon ,oeuf, bacon...très très bon! Et il est ouvert jusqu'à 1h, ce qui permet de ne pas se presser.
Nous ne sommes restés que 2 nuits mais cet endroit mérite vraiment qu'on y reste plus longtemps! Le prix n'est pas excessif et le seul bémol c'est l'absence de piscine pour le petit bain du matin...mais celle-ci est en train de se construire. Après ça, le boomerang village cottage sera parfait !
Top class resort
traveller59(sydney)
I reside in Thailand for 6 months of the year and travel extensively.
This is truly a beautifully appointed resort. We had a spacious room overlooking the sea in distance.
Lovely furnishings ( although my Thai wife was a little disturbed that the room contained a life like statue of Buddha overlooking the bed .Definitely a no no in Thailand and a little insensitive to Thai culture.) Nevertheless the owners of this resort, who are Italian, manage the place extremely well and provide tasteful facilities that you will not find in other resorts. Romantic restaurant with good food at reasonable prices. A little far from the town centre but quiet and peaceful and outstanding value.
We stayed here 3 nights and will definitely return on our next trip to Phuket.
Great Place - Really helpful/friendly owners
Talb81(Singapore)
My friend and I stayed here for 3 days in the middle of June and we really liked the place. Nice setting, well decorated cottages and nice ambience all round. I am also coming back to Phuket at Christmas with my parents and we are staying at Boomerang for 3 nights, but unfortunately, they don't have any further availability so we have to stay elsewhere. However, Paolo has been extremely helpful in pointing us to high quality locations in the area and was always very responsive on email to any questions that I had. As a previous review has stated, we checked-in and were told that the pool was out of action due to a leak and without hesitation, we were offered a 50% discount on our stay. That set the standard as far as service levels were concerned. Whenever we needed to get out in the evening and go for dinner/drinks, Paolo was always on hand to offer a lift and even when we wanted to pay more than was required in terms of fare, it was not taken. During the transfer he was always on hand to offer advice/tips on places to go/see/eat. One plus point is that breakfast is served till 1pm (I only made it once as we had a few too many heavy nights) and the spread is good.
As far as location is concerned, Kata beach is walkable (we did it every day) although Paolo does offer a shuttle service to the hotel with a pick up from the beach until 4pm (nice touch!) If I was with older travellers/family/young children, I would probably take this up as there is a steep hill leading up to Boomerang.
Overall --- well priced digs, extremely personable and helpful staff and pretty good location to what is probably the nicest beach in Phuket. A bit of a no-brainer in terms of recommending it to others....
Looking forward to going back in December.
Enjoy!
Absolutely Superb

I have just returned from a week staing at the Boomerang Village Resort. All I can say is absolutely superb.
On arrival we were met by Paulo and taken to the beautiful open air living room where he explained the features and amenities of the resort. All this whilst siiting in a lovely breeze overlooking Kata and out to the sea.
Our bags were taken to our rooms for us and we were taken to our cottages and shown the facilities. The cottages are wonderful and extremely clean. Everything is spotless and the surrounding gardens are bright and full of flowers and birds. No massive buildings overhanging or crowding your views here. Just wonderful jungle/rainforest behind and a great view of Kata and the ocean out the front.
The pool is beautiful and great relaxing music is gently piped to this area.
The restaurant is excellent. The included breakfast had everything you could wish for and more. The best coffee I had in all of Thailand from Chiang Mai down. We ate several times in the restaurant for dinner, with both Thai and Italian food ordered. All being first rate and not over inflated prices like most resorts. The pizzas were a standout.
The staff were wonderful. Naa and Ying in the restaurant could not do enough to assist and even helped me with some on the go Thai lessons. Lovely girls. Paulo the supervisor was very friendly and any requests were never a problem.
The resort is approx 2km back from the beach on a large hill. This is excellent as you are out of all the noise and people and it is very quiet. They offer a car service down to the beach but we hired a moped for the resort which was the same price as everywhere else. You also get the benefit of a lovely breeze to cool things down and you have ocean views which you dont get in most resorts in Kata.
If you go to Phuket to party till 5am every night then go to Patong. If you want to stay in first class accomodation, surrounded by gardens, with great rooms, excellent staff and fine food then STAY AT THE BOOMERANG VILLAGE RESORT. I will defintely be returning and would not stay anywhere else.
A touch of Thai :) Lovely place, excellent pasta
Andrea_Filip(Timisoara_Romania)
We stayed here from the 14th to the 19th of April and had a lovely time. We stayed in a Superior cottage, no 1, and we enjoyed it very much. The design of the rooms is very thai, with lots of small things to admire everywhere you looked (lighting, desk, bed top, pillowes... ). Attention to details and nothing to spoil the lovely perfection of the room.
The view from the cottage and the restaurant is very lush and nice.
The sunset on Kata Beach is postercard perfect.
The food at the restaurant was excellent, and with acceptable price. Comming from Romania, where we have a lot of italian restaurants i can say i have eaten there some of the best pasta's in my life :)
Paradise in hedonistic Phuket
mikekSingapore(Singapore)
Just returned from 5 wonderful nights at Boomerang Village. Paolo, Paolo and Staff have created a wonderful oasis from the craziness of Phuket. The rooms are a great value. It is especially nice to be at this boutique location because you get personal service. They treat you like friends. This is why the place is very popular. Book early!!
Boomerang is located away from the beach and on a hillside. This gives peacefulness and removes you from the tackiness of Phuket/Kata. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay (two kids 8 and 10 years old rated this a "5 Star"). If we return to Phuket will stay again at the Boomerang.
Highlights of Boomerang: Quiet location, large rooms (highly recommend the Suites), excellent decor, full breakfast including eggs/meat/latte/cappucino, friendly staff, happy hour at the pool.
Although we recommend Boomerang based on our personal experience, be forewarned on a few points:
* Not near the beach access or shopping. Shopping and restaurants are only a 10 minute walk.
* Many tuk-tuk drivers will add a small surcharge once they hear you're staying at the Boomerang. It is a VERY steep hill going to Boomerang and their little motors struggle.
* Our kids loved the place but not good for small kids (2 to 6 years old) because no playground or kiddie pool.
* In the mountainside so do get mosquitos, bring some spray or buy cheaply at pharmacy.
Overall Phuket was a small disappointment. It has grown too much and caters to a large crowd of hedonistic men looking for Thai women. The beaches are great and the islands are even better. Next time we'll return to quiet Krabi.
Amazing, romantic, tranquil and fantastic value
KR_Lawsons(London)
Wow- what a great place. We just returned from a 5 week honeymoon and have stayed at our fair share of hotels during this time.
This place gets 1st prize for value for money and comfort. At 40 euros a night I don't have a bad thing to say. In my opinion this is the best place to stay in the Kata area.
Accommodation is made up of a series of individual, secluded bungalows, with minibar, safe, ensuite bathroom, aircon, tv, fan. Breakfast is included in cost. There is a pool. Great food at the restaurant. Discount of evening meals. And even a free shuttle service to drop you at the beach any time before 2pm.
you can easily walk to the beach, although it will take you about 20 minutes, but the walk down is lined with shop, bars and restaurants.
We liked the fact that this hotel was on the hill further away from the beach as it meant that we could escape the cheesyness of Kata Beach when we wanted some tranquility.
The two Paolos (that run this hotel) are also very friendly and will do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable.
Free wifi is an added bonus.
Liked — Idyllic Tropical garden location
Great stay in Phuket !
Llukaszz(Paris, France)
I spend 5 days at Boomerang Cottages in august 2008 in order to have rest (after 3 weeks of travelling through Asia).
Really great and helpfull staff !! The rooms were roomy and extremely comfortable.
The restaurant at Boomerang Cottages was extremely good and shipper than restaurants in Kata.
Kata beach is very close (10 minutes of walk) ; this beach is really beautifful and quiet.
That's simply an excellent place to rest.
Oasis in Kata Beach
Eureka01(San Francisco)
Last month my husband I spent two nights at the Boomerang Village Cottages. It was our first hotel during our 2-week Thailand vacation, and we were thoroughly delighted with our experience. Upon arrival we were greeted by Paolo with a welcome drink and were escorted to our poolside apartment, at the front of the property. Our room was very clean, spacious and well-decorated. And we were glad to have a shaded sitting area outside our room with a view of the town below. The breakfast buffet was very good, with yogurts, croissants & breads, meats, cheeses, eggs, tomatoes, cereal, etc. And the BEST cappuccinos.
The new pool is fabulous -- one that is obviously popular with the guests (though still not over-crowded). We spent a few hours there the first day, enjoying the 2-for-1 hotel happy hour specials (also new, apparently).
Scooter rental from the hotel was easy and inexpensive, and a must for exploring the island --- though be advised to practice riding (and BRAKING) a bit in the parking area before venturing down the steep hill -- we almost had an accident on the way down. Regarding the other comments about an angry dog -- we didn't notice any, and Paolo said that he resolved the problem with the dog's owner a few months back.
Two last things to note:
When booking, be sure to specify the Cottages and not the Bungalows -- the Bungalows are down the hill in a different area. The Cottages seem much nicer and more secure.
And be sure to print out a map of the hotel area before you leave for Thailand, to make it easy to get a taxi at the airport. Since Boomerang is a small property, the taxi station didn't know where it was -- but luckily I had a map printed out to show them, which made it much easier.
Superb!
michielverheul(Nieuwegein)
Last week we'd stayed at Boomerang Village. We only can say that is was superb! Our cottage was really good and even more beautifull than it was on their website. The welcome was also very good, with a good transfer, a nice cold drink by arriving the village and good explanation about the hotel.
It's nice to know that the breakfast is served till 1 PM, no hurry in the morning! The staff and employees are all very nice. We've ate several times at boomerang's restaurant, delicious! Also the real italian cappucinno! The music in the restaurant is very relaxing!
It is a 15 minutes walk to the sea but we hired a scooter from the village for a small price. Nice way to discover the whole island by these scooters.
Unfortunately the swimming pool is under construction, but almost finished. For us it was the best hotel during our world trip.
We would like to thank all the staff and employees from the Boomerang Village for their amazing hospitality!
Fantastic for honeymooners
JandCW(Birmingham, UK)
These bungalows are fantastic. Upon arrival our bags were taken to our rooms whilst we were given some information and a welcome drink (as well as a bottle of mosquito repellant). Whether there weren't many mosquitoes or whether the repellent was really good, I'm not sure but neither of us got bitten, and we were expecting the mozzies to eat us alive as there was so much tropical greenery and water features.
The bungalows are great, and it's lovely to have your own separate bungalow (especially for honeymooners like ourselves). The 3 Italian owners were great from start to finish, so thanks guys. We had initially only planned on staying for a night or 2 but in the end we stopped 5 nights and used it as a base to explore Phuket as it was so nice and such good value.
Though a pool was being built we found that this did not disturb us in the least. The bar was excellent -really chilled out and comfortable, and the whole place in finished to an exceptionally high standard.
I must agree with the previous review in that the dogs at the bottom of the hill are a real pain. I love dogs normally, but these dogs were intent on trying to bite, and my wife felt threatened by them. Shouting at them seemed to keep them at bay, but they would have got a boot had they bitten either of us! But don't let this put you off!
Breakfast was nice-available til 1pm which is great if you've had a heavy night. My wife and I would certainly stay here again. On the last night we didn't return until late, and we wanted to settle our bill. Orpheo (one of the owners) allowed us to pay the balance in sterling as we didn't have chance to go to the bank, and the system had been closed down so it was too late to pay by credit card. We are very grateful for that.
I would also recommend doing a couple of trips (which the hotel can sort out) -especially the Phi Phi trip which we loved. The elephant trekking was also superb.
All in all an excellent experience which we would both love to repeat one day
Hidden Gem
AandAuk(Newcastle, England)
We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of Feb 08.
The hotel is run by 3 Italian friends.
We stayed in a superior cottage suite. The cottage had lovely views as it was at the highest point of the hotel grounds. The rooms was large and very comfitable. With a small terrace.
There was an onsite Italian restaurant which served good food at a good price. Breakfast was also served in the restaurant and it was available from 8am till 1pm! The breakfast was a buffet style but very good.
We would recommend hiring a moped from the hotel (very good price). As this is the easiest way to get around this part of Phuket.
The only downside of this hotel is the rather steep hill to up to the hotel. But having a moped solved this problem.
However at the bottom of the hill one of the local homes has three very vicious dogs. They are only out at a night time but you can not see them due to poor lighting. Having the moped allowed us to wizz passed them, however on our first night we walked back to the hotel and were chased by the dogs.
So we would advise either hiring the moped or getting a tuk tuk or taxi to the bottom of the hill to avoid the dogs.
This is not a reflection on the hotel.
fantastic holiday
clausLondon(london)
The newly opened Italian-run bungalow village on an inland hill overlooks Kata Beach. The steep hill you have to walk up is a price willingly paid for a quiet place at decent rates, off all-night tourist entertainment, and yet within walking distance to Kata and Karon Beaches. Breakfeast is served on a thatched veranda with sea view and a gentle breeze. The rooms with shower and AC are tastefully furnished and staff and owners are the epitome of hosts.
A secret gem in phuket
CSTravellerMunich(Munich)
We spend 5 very relaxing nights during december 2007 at Boomerang Village cottages. The beautiful bungalow village with its lush tropical garden lies up the hill, some minutes from Kata and Karon Beach. Upon arrival, we were immediately warmly welcomed by one of the owners (Paolo) who personally showed us around the facilities for about 20 minutes. Every wish we had during our stay (e.g. laundry, baggage scooter rental, airport pick-up and transfers) was fulfilled by Paolo with a smile and "no problem". The bar and restaurant staff was also very friendly and helpful making us really feel at home.
The bungalows itself are very nicely decorated (we were in a deluxe bungalow for two nights and a standard one for three nights). The deluxe bungalows are situated at the top of the premises, have breathtaking views of distant kata beach, are a bit more spaceous and are equiped with a DVD player (DVDs can be borrowed from the restaurant). Sitting on out balcony with a cold beer, watching the sunset over Kata beach was one of the best Phuket experiences we had. At night we typically walked down to the beach where all kinds of tourist entertainments are available (approx. 10 minutes walk). For the trip home, we mostly used a taxi (avoiding the steep climb). During the day, we rented a moto from the owners and explored the beautiful southern phuket beaches.
This place really combines the best of eastern (e.g. friendliness) and western cultures (late breakfasts with real(!) cappucino). If you are looking for a relaxed place with a private atmosphere, a few minutes walk away from the beaches and the main tourist action, boomerang village is an excellent choice. We did certainly not regret it and would go again anytime.
Perfect vacation at Boomerang village!
Miska_7(Chicago, Illinois and Taipei)
We just returned from a beautiful vacation in Thailand and absolutely loved our stay at Boomerang Village. The hotel website is so beautiful that it made us suspicious, but when we got to the hotel, we were delighted to find that it really is as nice as it looks in the pictures! The hotel is located about 15 minutes walk from Kata or Karon beach, so it is good to rent a motorbike, which you can do from the hotel office for a very reasonable rate. For the first half of our vacation, we stayed in Chalong Bay, and though that was also nice, we were happy to move to the Kata area where there are many more shops and restaurants. That said, the hotel gardens are absolutely gorgeous, even for Thailand, and the hotel's location on a hillside above the beach means that the nightlife and traffic below become a distant memory when you are sitting out on your private terrance enjoying the view! The price of rooms includes a delicious breakfast (that includes free cappuccino, espresso or americano!!), served by friendly staff in a truly lovely open-air restaurant. We could not have been happier with our stay. The hotel managers went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy, and if we vacation again in Phuket, we will definitely make another visit to Boomerang Village.
a beatiful trip
princessgiuly(Italy)
This is a very beatiful place in kata.
It's far from the beach 5 minutes (no more) by moto, from Karon and Patong 10/15 minuts by tuk tuk or taxi.
The room are excellent, cleany and confortable, here we cane give all facilites.
The staff is very good, you can meet a very nice persons and you can ask them all informations and help then the staff person can to do for you.
This plase is very quiet between the green, but if you want something different like funs, dancing or a lot of bar in no more of 10 minutes you can give.
I sincerly suggest Boomerang Village.
Regards
Giuliana (Italy)
