Just Perfect
McEwanFrance(France)
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

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

C'è solo da ringraziare Paolo Basso (e la sua "COMPAGNIA") per l'accoglienza che abbiamo ricevuto. Ma ancora di più per aver saputo realizzare un "posto" incredibile come il Boomerang Village! Grazie ancora.

A Feast for the senses
Liz035(London)
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

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
desdealgunlugar(Madrid)
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!

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
ello10(Aus)
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

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.
