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.
the only place to stay in Phuket!

We stayed for 7 nights & loved everything about it. Firstly, the design of the resort is beautiful. It consists of several wooden thai style bungalows spread out amongst lush tropical gardens - no cold grey concrete apartment blocks here!! The pool is quiet & relaxing with a pool bar serving happy hour 2 for 1 drinks each day at 4pm and there is free wifi throughout the resort.
The location is set back from the beach on the hill about 15 mins walk from Kata town / 20 mins walk from Kata beach with the only steep/hilly part of the walk being the short driveway to the resort. You do not need to walk this if you dont want to - the resort has a free shuttle to Kata during the day. We preferred to walk so we were getting a little bit of exercise on holiday, especially with eating all the amazing Thai food & cheap beer!
Resort massages are great value in the comfort of your airconditioned room & only marginally more expensive than in the town (maybe 50-100 baht difference).
The restaurant is very good, and breakfast is outstanding! So much choice and they will make you fresh coffee (cappucino, latte etc) & cook you fresh eggs to your liking (we recommend scrambled as they are cooked in the wok so have that amazing asian wok flavour!). Dinner at resort was good value, however do recommend skipping the expensive tourist cafes (150 baht for sandwich) & restaurants (250 baht for pasta) in town and instead eating at some of the local places - basically any covered area that has plastic tables & chairs set up! Can get amazing authentic thai food 50-60 baht for main (e.g. curry or stir fry) and 20 baht for rice.
Any tours you want to do can be organised through reception - we did a 6 island cruise (including Phi Phi) which was good but our favourite was the Thai cooking class (ask to go to "Phuket Thai cookery school" - reviewed on TA).
Kata beach near the resort was more beautiful & peaceful than busy Karon or Patong - so glad we didnt stay in either of those areas of phuket! VERY busy with lots of bars, drunk tourists, people trying to sell you anything/everything & no relaxtion. Much better to just catch a tuktuk and visit for the day/evening if you want (400baht from Kata to Patong via tuktuk).
I also recommend going to the Dinopark minigolf in Kata town - 15mins walk from the resort! The best minigolf I have ever been to and a great way to spend an hour in the evening before/after dinner (they close at midnight).
Finally the staff at the resort were fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble for them to organise for you - they even give you a little gift when you check out which is really sweet :) Would definitely stay here again!
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...
A real little gem!
AustraliaMlls(Australia)
We were concerned by the few critical reviews but when we got there, we had an absolutely fabulous and relaxing time! The room was immaculate, tastefully decorated, comfortable and cozy! The pool was wonderful and there was always a light breeze in the air (from location on a little hill?)
Staff are very friendly and there are a few trainee waitresses on site. The trainees were well, I guess still training so they often had to run back and forth to check things with the supervisor(?) and were a bit awkward when serving. We really did not mind because they were always polite and hey, good service had to be learned somewhere right?
The hotel was a 10-15min walk from the main shopping streets and the beach front but that did not bother us because we always waited for the hotel car to take us downtown. Also, when you book tours and spas, the business sends complimentary transport to take you to and from your trip anyhow. Alternatively, take a taxi, the Reception staff can help you call for one, easy!
We would recommend this hotel in a heart beat! And we had, to 2 of our friends just this morning! We appreciate the effort that the owner and staff have put in this place. Well done!

Tolles Hotel - zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Die Bungalows sind freundlich eingerichtet, bei der Anreise findet man überall Orchideenblüten. Sauberkeit wird sehr gross geschrieben. Der Frühstückspavillion ist auch sehr angenehm - das Frühstück wird bis in die Mittagszeit angeboten. Da Italiener Inhaber sind kann man sich auf einen wirklich guten Frühstückskaffee freuen. Wir kommen gern wieder!
Excellent retreat with option of a piece of the action
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!
Exceptional service- best I have had anywhere
ladyPON(Singapore)
A beautiful, small and charming place with great rooms and a nice pool. Extremely attentive service, very kind, will do anything and everything to help you and will not charge extra for it even if for thing other places would. They also give you a small gift when you leave. it makes you feel at home.
The only down side, it's a bit far from the center (Patong is about 35 min) and not all taxi drivers know where is it. But it's worth it for the peaceful and blissful quiet of this place. I have great
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.
This hotel is amazing! Especially for the price
Stompeh(Suffolk, England)
This hotel is amazing! Especially for the price, I would expect to pay a lot more money for such a lovely place.
the greeting we recieved when arriving stunned us quite a bit, the receptonist was very friendly and gave us some orange juice while she explained all the services available like massages, trips to the Simon caberet etc, and showed us to our room and explained where everything was.
Spotlessly clean room, which was decorated with flowers, air con and a fan overhead, and nice shower!
The restaurant is closed for rennovation for the peak season I assume, but we had breakfast delivered to our room all free of charge, and there's plenty of restaurants near by at the bottom of the hill.
The pool looks lush! Fountains and things... And there's a computer next to it which is free to use and very quick.
Kata beach is about a 20 min walk away, but they have a free shuttle car or you can order a taxi.
The staff here are so lovely, and all in all this is a brilliant hotel.
Being 18 and 19 we have been told that patong beach is the place with the best nightlife and it's a little way a way from there, but obviously there are lots of places to go in kata beach and you can always
jump in a taxi to get to karon beach and patong about 5-10 min taxi ride away.
We have to leave very early in the morning, and the receptionist just brought us some breakfast for tomorrow! Amazing service :)
would recommend to anyone, couples, families... You must stay here!
Excellent spacious ,privacy,safe,paradise in phuket

we booked this hotel after the no 1 rating in trip advisor.and the reviews and photos were genuine .
the manager mr paulo cared the guests in personal.
it is is a boutique hotel with few cottages.
it is the perceptive and friendly service that makes it worthwhile staying in this hotel. The owners and staff are social at just the right level and they go to great length to make you feel at home.
a multi cusine restuarent is much required.
I recommend this hotel and it is real value for money
Excellent service and value for money

A piece of paradise
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.
A really great place to stay
Seaside-Bill(Somerset)
All the positive reviews and comments here are absolutely spot-on. Boomerang Village Cottages is a very tasteful and relaxing place to stay - outstanding value and very well managed. We stayed for 8 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The bungalows are spacious, comfortable, well equiped and the terraced layout provides a good degree of privacy/seclusion and great views over the tropical garden to the sea beyond. Other reviewers observations about distance from Kata town/beach are valid, but don't let that put you of - the upside is the tranquility and views. It is possible to walk to local restaurants and the beach, but given the heat and humidity you'll find it easier to use the free beach transfer during the day or taxi in the evening. They're readily available everywhere and prices are fairly cheap, particularly if you're prepared to haggle with the tuk tuk driver. The bus service to Phuket Town passes along the main road a short walk from Boomerang and offers a fun trip in a colourful, open sided vehicle at insanely low prices - hail it just like a taxi. The restaurant on site is excellent and prices comparable to similar places in town. 'International cuisine' is available but the thai food is exceptional so why bother? Food, beer, cocktails and fruit juice prices are good, but if good wine is your tipple of choice you'll need deep pockets - it's very expensive anywhere in Phuket.
If you're thinking of booking Boomerang Village Cottages, DO IT, you won't regret it.
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.
Peaceful, tropical retreat
debmac1(Perth)
This was our first hotel in Thailand and we could have stayed longer. We stayed in the detached villa next to the pool which was one large room and a bathroom. We also had our own little garden area. It was great having the pool so conveniently located to the room. Unfortunately my friend and I had to settle for sharing a bed as no single bed rooms were available but this wasn't a problem as the king size bed was huge. The room had all the essentials, nice bathroom with a good hot water shower, fridge and aircon and the linen and room were spotless. The room rate included a very extensive buffet breakfast. The staff were all very helpful. The hotel is a good half hour walk to the beach and in the heat we mostly took advantage of the free transfers provided by the hotel (on request) or paid 100 baht for a taxi if the hotel manager was not available to do a transfer. Kata beach is okay but nothing special (spoiled by Perth beaches). It was the usual deal - 100baht each to hire two sun lounges and an umbrella. The market shopping was okay and we caught taxis to Pattong Beach and Karon Beach. I preferred Kata beach but would be unlikely to choose Phuket area for a holiday again as there are more attractive places in Thailand (we loved Hua Hin). The hotel was great - the driveway is very steep so you'd need to be pretty fit but most people come and go via taxi or transfer and hire motorbikes. Out of all of the places we went in Thailand this is probably the only place I'd consider hiring a motorbike. The traffic and roads are pretty good. Boomerang Village was a great place to stay - and exceptional value. If I recall correctly, our room rate was 1500 baht per night. You can book massages in your room - which I can recommend - for about 300 baht. And happy hour is between 4 and 5 every day - two drinks for the price of one. We had spring rolls with our drinks a few times which were delicious, but didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening. Their menu was extensive. Our routine was beach/shop in the morning after breakfast, massage about 2 or 3 pm, pina coladas poolside and a swim until happy hour finished at 5, then showers and head off by taxi to Pattong or Karon or Kata for dinner. Didn't discover the south end of Kata beach until the last day but that is probably the best area to beach and eat in Kata. Had great Thai food in the north end of the Kata township (walking distance from Boomerang Village) at a terraced restaurant - sorry can't recall the name. We stayed 3 nights and were collected very early on Day 4 for the transfer to Elephant Hills at Khao Sok National Park.
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.

Hidden paradise
Rickpresti(Rickpresti)
Stayed here for 3 days in a deluxe villa room, which more than met my expectations, the restaurant was excellent, I recommend trying the lobster (need to order in morning), they helped book all tours and provided free shuttle taxi to the beach. No complaints, I would have liked the bed to have been softer, but having travelled round asia have come acustomed to hard beds.
I can vouch for the reviews previously on here and add to the fact that the resort has a personal feel to eat and can say it has been one of the best botique resorts I have stayed at.
I wish it well for the future!!
P.S free wifi a nice touch!
A beautiful relaxing oasis in the heart of Kata
ValenciaPaella(valencia)
We are a mature couple who have a b & b in Valencia & therefore know a thing or 2 about standards & service. We stayed for 1 month in January 2010. The cottages are set amongst beautiful tranquil gardens,( Guests who have difficulty in walking up hill should request a cottage on the lower levels of the hill). Italian owned & run, the staff were amongst the best we have come across in our travels, every request greeted with a warm friendly smile & response. Excellent food in the Italian inspired restaurant, very good breakfast too. Ideally situated for Kata & beaches, only 30 minutes away by taxi from bustling Patong & Phuket town. Most days were spent lazing around the lovely pool, the most relaxing holiday we have ever had & we had no hesitation in booking for 2011 before we left. Highly recommended!!
Heaven on earth
NicvicBelgium46(Belgium- Knokke)
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;
Book ahead, as you may miss out
malindaPerth(perth)
This is the first time we have written a review for trip advisor. We choose this hotel based on everyones comments and now we have been there, definately agree!. Its a wonderful place to stay. Romantic, serene, beautiful tropical garden & lovely thai style rooms with privacy. Unfortunately we couldn't stay there our entire holiday, as they were fully booked. Although not close to the beach (about 20mins walk) this doesn't matter as they will transport you there daily for free. Staff very friendly & helpful. Local thai resturant @ the T junction of main rd (right hand side- opposite the post office) is a real gem. cheap & very tasty....we couldn't find another better than this, hence had to keep going back! Don't delay, book ahead so you don't miss out like we almost did!
One of the best in Thailand
MonkeyLudi(London)
We stayed for one night in Phuket and needed a place within a short distance of the ferries to Krabi. This place turned out to far exceed our expectations! Great service, friendly staff, fantastic swimming pool. Beautifully decorated, quiet rooms. A 15 minute walk to a pleasant beach.
Don't miss the breakfast!
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
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.
This place is a slice of paradise
EdinburghSunlover(Edinburgh)
Spent Christmas 2009, absolutely amazing place and location. The view over Kata is fabulous, I have travelled all over the world and stayed in many 5 Star Locations and I would rate this up with the best of them. Even better this place has soul, great staff team, relaxation, good food, great accommodation and is certainly not pretentious if any way. Keep it simple hire a moped, visit the fabulous beaches, visit the local eateries but always come back home to the Boomerang. I will certainly be back one day........
trip advisor reviews did not let us down

An oasis of calm
I chose this hotel on the basis of previous reviews and I was not disappointed. The setting is wonderful; you would not think that this hotel was minutes away from the bustling Kata town centre. The rooms were very comfortable with distinctive styling, frequent changes of bed linen and plentiful towels. Lovely pool which, though not suited to swimming lengths, was very adequate for the number of guests that the Boomerang accommodates. The restaurant was excellent too; we ate there a lot and always enjoyed the food and the setting. And the staff were so helpful, including driving us to and from the marvellous beach for free! The hotel is set on a steep hill which may not suit the more infirm, but if you can walk then I recommend this hotel without reservation. And it's good value too.
Luxury at an affordable price
VIPClarkson(London)
My husband, my friend and I stayed here in November in a suite. The room itself was very spacious and had beautiful wood carvings everywhere. The third bed was a proper bed and not a camp bed. The suite had magnificent views over the town across to the sea and was surrounded by lush greenery and beautifully tended gardens. We were lucky to have a room right by the pool which was far from noisy and one could always get a sun bed. The setting was beautiful and at night candles were dotted round the edge of the pool which had Balinese statues and fountains around it.
Despite being up a very steep hill we found the location very suitable for our needs. The hotel was away from the hub bub and noise of Kata and like a sanctuary to come back to. We loved the fact that we were staying in chalets rather than a high rise, non-descript hotel with no character.
Breakfast was a buffet under a thatch roof with everything you could imagine and every need catered for. The staff were very helpful and polite. Two for the price of one cocktails went down a treat at 4.00 pm. We ate in the restaurant one evening and had an Italian meal whcih was very tasty although the Thai food was equally so.
We thoroughly recommend Boomerang Village and would certainly go there again.
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!
Paradise in phuket
uk-cazza(bournemouth)
This place is amazing. I booked it after reading the reviews on tripadvisor and was not disappointed. I remember someone commenting on how quickly they had a reply to their enquiry and it was the same for me, Paulo was very polite and accommodating.
We booked one of the basic cottages and a pickup from the airport. As promised our driver was there to meet us and we were dropped off at the hotel.
People keep mentioning the hotels location. For us, the location was fantastic, it was set above the dusty roads in lush green beautiful surroundings and yes it is probably a 20 minute walk to the beach but this has benefits, as when the weather is windy and you get sand blowing everywhere on the beach, the pool at the boomerang is a great place to be, as it is sheltered.
The hill that everyone keeps mentioning is fairly steep, but it is the driveway to the hotel and is less than 100 meters long, so unless you are having to push someone up it, its not really a problem. We like to stay away from the noisy nightlife of places like Patong or the centers of Kata and Karon but be close enough to visit, so for us it was ideal.
We hired a scooter for £3 a day which I would highly recommend doing as it enabled us to go all over Phuket on it...for example to the big buddha, the lying down buddha, the gibbon sanctuary and two waterfalls as well as the towns and other beaches.
The man in the evening who looks after the scooters is really lovely...as are all the staff.
The room was great...although the beds were for us, far too hard and we were glad to get back to our own bed! I can't think of anything that the room was lacking really, we even had a gecko house guest that was addicted to ice-cream. The towels and sheets are changed daily and there is an aircon unit and a fan. Any slight problems we had with things (ie the electricity going off, probably due to us having the tv, aircon, fan and shower on at once) were resolved quickly (flick the reset switch in the box by the door).
The breakfast was adequate and available until late...I recommend the lattes.
So difficult to pick a single best thing...one of the best things is that they have a 'business center' which has a computer with free internet access so you can send emails or surf the web, another is the relaxed, intimate environment and another is the friendliness of the staff.
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"
Amazing

My husband and I visited Thailand for 3 weeks and Boomerangs was our first stop. We stayed here for 3 nights in one of the Superior cottages. I did alot of research before booking all the hotels we stayed during our Honeymoon and this was the cheapest and had the best reviews in the Kata area. We arrived at Midnight from the US and thankfully I booked the transfers through the hotel, having family that live in Thailand they said Phuket was notorious for ripping off tourist with transportation. They charged 800 baht and that is cheaper then you would pay hailing a taxi from the airport and you didn't have to worry about anything, they met you there with a sign and the ride was about 30 minutes to Boomerangs. We were so happy when we pulled up, the Manager Paulo greeted us at 1 am with fresh towels and a juice that was so refreshing after our long journey. We instantly fell in love with the place, it was so small and quaint and very well maintained and the rooms were beautiful. Having our own private cottage was great, and they also had flowers on the bed that was such a nice touch. We woke up early despite going so bed late and went to breakfast, it was small but wonderful. The restaurant makes you feel like you are in Thailand with all the statues and colors. The service was so personable I didn't want to leave. The walk to the beach is about 10-15 minutes but Paulo will drop you off around 9 am and pick you up around 4 for FREE! They really go out of there way to make your stay enjoyable. The free WIFI was so nice and most larger hotels charge you for it. He also will take you to other areas for the same price as a local taxi or tuk tuk and you dont have to walk down the street and wait for one. This was a great start to our vacation and staying at 2 different hotels in Kata (Kata Beach Resort and spa) I would pick this one over that one anytime I visit that area again. I couldn't get over the hospitality and willingness to make you as comfortable as possible. I will be back : )
Oase der Ruhe, mit viel Charme ,trotzdem nicht weit vom Strand..
Marie-Janne(Hamburg)
Waren nach den bewertungen hier sehr gespannt.Als wir vom Flughafen kamen, wurden wir im Dunkeln sehr herzlich mit einem Cocktail von Paolo empfangen und konnten somit erst mal richtig ankommen..Als er uns über die Anlage informiert hat, wurden wir zum Cottage begleitet.
Wie schön die Anlage wirklich ist, konnten wir erst am nächsten morgen sehen, als wir auf die Terrasse gegangen sind.
Ein schöner Blick aufs Meer, und Grünanlage. Sehr viel Privatsphere dadurch, dass Cottages leicht versetzt stehen und auf versch. Ebenen gebaut wurden.Durch die schöne kleine Terrasse konnten wir auch bei Regen entspannt draußen sitzen.
Alles ist sehr gepflegt. Bedingt durch die Lage am Hügel, ist der Weg zum Strand fast nicht zu Fuss zu schaffen,Auch in der Anlage gibt es Höhenunterschiede , was für kleiner Kinder und ältere Personen vielleicht beschwerlich ist.
Wir haben einen Scooter für wenig Geld ausgeliehen und Paolo bietet einen kostenlosen Shuttle zum Strand an.Mit dem Scooter haben wir auch die Gegend erkundigt.
Die Poolanlage ist idylisch gelegen und es gibt schöne Liegen und Handtücher.
Das Frühstücksbuffet ist gut und es gibt sogar italienische Kaffeespezialitäten.
Das Italienische Restaurant haben wir getestet und für gut befunden..Pizza knusprig, Pasta al Dente, was will man mehr;-)
Wir haben uns prima betreut gefühlt und werden bestimmt wiederkommen.
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.
A Home Away from Home

Well i have been to Thailand Before , but it was my first time in Phuket , i Booked the Hotel on the Internet , it was very easy , Rooms were really VERY VERY CLEAN ,Patong Street is just a 10 Mins Drive from the Hotel ( A Lovely Drive ) , Be it with Family or Friends or Solo Travellers ,, its the Best Place u can put up at ,that too at a Bargain Price of around 40 to 50 Euro's Worth every penny ,, Last but not the Least Mr.Paolo was really a Gem of a Person , and it was a Memorable Experience Staying in at Boomerang ,
Keep up the Good Work Guys ,,

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
Beautiful and Excellent Value for Money
sabinerebecca(Shanghai)
We booked this hotel not despite its distance to the beach but BECAUSE of its distance to it. We did not want to be constantly surrounded by tarts and touts.
We went as a family of 6 with 3 children 13y, 7y and 3 months and their grandma. Everyone of us was very happy with the resort.
Staff and Management:
- Every email from my initial inquiry to special requests, such as our requirement of a room close to pool to always be able to watch the kids, or asking in advance for a birthday cake for our daughter, or date changes of our stay, had been answered promptly, detailed and positively.
- On our departure day the management came and offered us to keep our suite room until 4:30 p.m. (!!!!) for free if we could leave the other room right after breakfast. This was really accommodating because they needed the room the same evening, and very helpful because our flight was in the evening.
- Every single staff member was cheerful, friendly, helpful.
Bedroom:
Clean, spacious, very tastefully decorated in Thai style with love to the detail.
Bathroom:
Spacious and clean, lots of room for everything.
Towels were provided for the room, extra towels for the pool and again extra towels to take to the beach. The suite room provided also bath robes.
No phone in room, that's true.
But firstly this is not a business hotel and secondly actually everyone has cell phones now and there is a Thai service that lets you use your overseas SIM card for local calls at local cost. Plus the staff always assists you free of charge if you want to make a local call to a tour provider or restaurant.
TV with international channels such as BBC, DW TV.......
DVD player. Came in handy as we stayed during the rainy season and let the kids watch one DVD once.
Minor things to mention:
- For our cottage with 4 beds the one wardrobe in the room was too small.
- The bedside lamps were beautiful, but the light too dim for comfortable evening reading.
Pool:
Gem!
Not big but stunningly beautiful.
Simply perfect if you are not coming to Phuket to swim olympic laps.
There is space to sit and relax at both ends of the pool and one end is also equipped with jacuzzi.
Restaurant:
A typical open style Thai restaurant, very meticulously decorated all over.
Breakfast buffet starts from 8a.m. to 1p.m. but actually it was most times 8.30 before everything had been set up completely. Which doesn't matter when you know it.
Lunch and dinner dishes were all very good and you get also excellent value for money.
It is a pity that the restaurant is far from the center and has therefor not many guests from outside: other 'restaurants' in Kata with more or less the same menu but higher prices did disappoint us.
Living Room: Open and as beautiful as everything else.
Location:
Yes, up a very steep hill. But we walked to the beach a few times although the resort provides free shuttle. And it took us 20 min to Kata Yai Beach.
The steep part is by the way only about 100 m long and pretty managable.
If we go back to Phuket I will definitely try to book Boomerang Cottages again.
Very nice stay at Boomerang Village Cottages

Boomerang Village Cottages - room entrance
I was organising this holiday for my parents and they have truly enjoyed their stay at BVC. Room was nice and clean, stuff always ready to help. Beach transfer service happen to be very handy as it is a bit hard for two aged people climb up the hill, but there was never a problem to organise a transport to and from the beach. The pool is great, especially during a low season. The garden is beatifull and well looked after. Breakfast is tasty, but a little bit simple. Overall, this is one of those places you never afraid to recommend. Photos on BVC website are true Thanks, Paolo&Paolo and thanks tripadvisor.
Highlights:
- real rainforest begins where the garden ends
- the view
- koi fish in the stream
- delightful swimming pool
Simply beautiful
PlanBSingapore(Singapore)
The hotel is located on a steep hill, overlooking Kata Bay. We stayed in a deluxe villa and to put it in a nutshell: it was simply great. The villa was beautifully furnished and decorated, spacious and clean. The garden and pool area were really nice, creating a really relaxing atmosphere. It's possible to walk to the beach, but it will take you about 30 minutes. However, they offer a shuttle service to the beach and should you miss that you can always take one of the inexpensive but fun Tuk Tuks.
We found it was a great place to stay and to use as a starting point for trips all over the island and simply great value for money.
Fantastic start to our honeymoon
CarolineNorfolk(Norfolk)
We arrived at Boomerang after a long journey from the UK. It was the perfect spot to relax and get used to the climate. The staff are really helpful and the food is excellent. Breakfast is served until 1pm which was great. Beautiful gardens with orchids hanging from the trees. It is quite a long walk to the beach but it was not a problem for us and we sometimes got a taxi back at night which did not cost much. Good, cheap restaurants on the beach looking out to sea. Wish we had stayed longer.
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!
je word heel goed ontvangen bij aankomst
Manuela(den haag, Netherlands)
je word heel goed ontvangen bij aankomst, alles word haarfijn uitgelegd.niks is te veel super
I really loved this place
Palmer(Silver Spring, MD, United States of America)
I really loved this place and it was the best hotel we stayed at while in Thailand. The staff were very gracious and a great help in planning our many outings. The restaurant was very good, with a good breakfast buffet. I also had one of the best dinners of my stay in Thailand in the restaurant. The cottages were really nice and I felt very secluded even though there were other cottages...
we'll be back!
Alison(London, United Kingdom)
The welcome was fantastic, and the staff were so helpful throughout our entire stay. The hotel gives a personal, intimate feel to travelling, and was a pleasure to stay at - we'll be back!
We loved it
ML(United Arab Emirates)
We loved it. The room was beautiful and we could see the sea. The hosts were welcoming and helpful and the breakfast just fantastic. We recommend using the pushbikes if you can't bear to hire a motorbike...we cycled to the beach and to restaurants in the evenings and loved it ..just be prepared for a steep push up the hill as you reach the cottages.
Very good
Aik Meng Tan(Qatar)
Very good customer services. The hotel is located at the quiet hill away from the hustle and bustle of the market areas. The furnishing is very good and the hotel rooms are surrounding by beautifully designed garden. We really enjoyed the personal service provided there.
I booked Boomerang Village after some good comments
Ryan Merrigan(Australia)
I booked Boomerang Village after some good comments on the Trip Advisor website. And I have to say my wife and I enjoyed our stay so much and we're actually sad that we didn't stay longer at Boomerang than the 2 days we booked. The staff were all lovely and as we were on our honeymoon they made us feel so special and even bought us a little gift which was appreciated. The Cottage is excellent value for money and the facilities are up there with 4 stars or nearly even 5 if we compared it with other places we stayed in Asia. I rated photographs not a perfect 10 because they don't do justice just how beautiful the place is. Overall excellent place to stay and next time we come back to Phuket we won't be staying anywhere else than Boomerang Village. Thanks to all at Boomerang Village.
Ein wunderschöne Unterkunft!
geesign1(Hechingen)
Wir waren den April über in Thailand... und ich muss sagen, das Boomerang Village Cottages hatte bei Weitem die schönste Unterkunft und Lage des gesamten Urlaubs. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Voll in die Natur integriert. Die drei Jungs aus Italien sind auf dem richtigen Weg. Sehr sauber, super Service und gutes Essen. Einziges Manko ist die Entfernung zum Strand... aber die Roller da unten sind ja so günstig UND werden vom Hotel organisiert. Also kein Problem! Wenn wir wieder nach Thailand fliegen weiß ich jetzt schon wo wir uns definitiv aufhalten werden.
Jederzeit wieder
Kirkels(Pappenheim)
Ich war nur 2 Tage am Ende meiner 18-tägigen Reise durch den Süden in diesem Hotel, aber die waren ein wunderschöner Abschluss.
Preis/Leistung: Ich habe über das Internet gebucht...und das war deutlich billiger als der angegebene durchschnittliche Preis. 2 Tage...2920 Baht....und dafür ...ein TOP-Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Besitzer: Hauptsächlich hatte ich mit Paolo (Leiter) zu tun. Er hat mich gut eingeführt, alles erklärt und mich in jeder Bitte super beraten.
Check in: Nettes Gespräch, Begrüßungsgetränk, Zahlung am Ende.
Essen: Im Restaurant erhält man 10 % Nachlass. Das Essen hat mich jederzeit sehr zufrieden gestellt. Der Ausblick an einigen Tischen beim Abendessen (Sonnenuntergang) ist wirklich ....urlaubswürdig.
Zimmer: Großzügig, mit allem was man braucht. Täglicher Service. Viel Glas und somit eine wunderbare Aussicht... Man fühlt sich in Thailand...und nicht in irgendeinem Hotelzimmer.
Empfehlung: Im TV-Bereich sollte zumindest ein englischsprachiger Movie Kanal, oder ein DVD Player zu finden sein. Auch 1 Liter Wasser könnte im Preis inbegriffen sein.
Fazit: Wenn ich nochmals herkomme....buche ich auch wieder hier...
Gruß Michael
charmant, relaxant et romantique
souvenirs(Singapore)
Si vous vous rendez à Phuket je vous recommande alors vivement cet hôtel perché sur une petite colline à environ un kilomètre de la plage de Kata. La vue est belle et l'atmopshère très plaisante. Vous vous sentirez privilégiés dans ce Cottage plein de charme et différents de tous ces hotels en bord de mer, certes jolis aussi mais où les touristes s'entassent. Par ailleurs le restaurant est excellent et vous serez surpris par les bons alcools disponibles aux prix très abordables: cocktails en tout genre, grappa, bons vins.
Bon rapport qualité prix
Un merveilleux souvenir!!!!
francois075(paris)
Nous avons choisi cet hôtel par rapport aux photos de clients qui étaient magnifiques, et je dois dire que nous n'avons absolument pas été déçus.
L'hôtel se trouve en hauteur dans un coin calme et entouré de verdure.
Dans un premier temps et après un long trajet en voiture, vous êtes accueillis avec collier de fleurs et jus de fruits dans une ambiance zen qui apaise, tout le cadre est magnifique, le personnel est au petit soin, et les bagages sont directement transportés dans votre chambre (petites maisonnettes individuelles magnifiquement décorées).
Une mention également pour la superbe piscine qui rafraichit après une journée de balade (avec transat et serviettes de bain), et le restaurant avec son petit déjeuner royale (café, thé, pain, croissants, fruits, yaourts et j'en passe...) , son décor, la qualité de ses repas ou encore la gentillesse de son personnel.
BREF, je recommande cet hôtel a 200%, votre séjour sera magnifique!!!!!
I thoroughly recommend Boomerang Village cottages for serene atmosphere, beautiful setting ...
Aussie1957(Canberra)
I thoroughly recommend Boomerang Village cottages for serene atmosphere, beautiful setting & ultra friendly service.”
HI,
I thoroughly recommend Boomerang Village cottages for their serene atmosphere, beautiful setting and ultra friendly service by the management team. My wife & I stayed 6nights having never been to Phuket before. We were fortunate as it’s proximity to Kata beach (15min walk or 5min scooter ride), a first-rate beach for swimming and excellent surfing (in this fringe monsoon period). Airport pickup and return was so convenient, as was their assistance in organising quality day-trips, recommending restaurants, scooter hire (they have their own) and shopping. The local shops are quieter than Karon, however Kata area was a refuge from madness of Patong – while still being interesting.
The cottages are very comfortable with picturesque views out to the ocean, and receive the welcome cooler breezes, as Boomerang is nestled on the lower part of coastal hills, on fringe of a rain-forest. Unlike many places it has the feel of being apart… while being accessible to shops/beach/restaurants etc. The pool is exquisitely placed, with views over Kata, and there are so many interesting and inviting spots within 30mins of the hotel, that we filled 6days with great memories and fondness for the friendly staff. It is a perfect location for those who seek quality and peace in reasonably priced accommodation, and we will return here, as a base to explore the beautiful southern hills, villages and beaches of Phuket. Regards, Bruce & Prashant Munro
Very good stay, helpful staff & quiet location at great value !
Zizouman(Paris)
I spent 3 nights in this hotel with my wife and we had a very good time there. From the moment you get to the hotel, you get kind of a personalized attention starting with a warm welcome by Paolo, the supervisor of the hotel.
All the services you need (taxis, activities, car or scooter rental) are available from the reception of the hotel who can arrange everything for you and they charge you the correct price.
You can get massages arranged in your room.
Compared to the other hotels in Phuket, this hotel has an excellent location because it is not far from the beach and located in a quiet place because it is at the top of a hill where you have a nice view of the whole bay.
The comfort of the room is ok, you don't have a big bathroom with all the comfort (bathtub, jacuzzi and other) but you get enough if you don't plan to spend the whole day in you room.
The weird thing is that although the hotel was quiet busy when we stayed there, we did not feel it at all, we met other guests a couple of time only.
So if you are looking for a great value for your money in your choice of hotel, looking for a quiet place in Phuket (i.e. not across the street from the bars or shops) and plan to do a lot of activities during your stay, Boomerang village is the perfect choice for you !
So Lovely...! Unforgettable
Loranet(Malaysia)
After the flight and the airport transfer when I got out of the taxi at Boomerang Village Cottages - it was as if I got to a different world, from a vanity fair - to a little paradise on earth, this first impression was breathtaking... Lovely garden like area with bungallows and cottages, so peacefull and beautiful.
Rooms are very large, decorated in authentic Thai style, smelling of Thai spa oil aromas... and this you can get for only 40$... seems unbeleivable really :)
Breakfast starts at 8 and you can have it till 1 pm... so you can enjoy lying in and still be on time for breakfast with no hurry
Swimming pool is great, beach is about 700 m away, you can walk there or get a hotel car transfer (free 2 times a day) - to Kata beach, sea is very clean and it has waves, so very good for surfing lovers :)
If you want nightlife - go to Patong beach area in the evening (7 km away).
Overall I am more than happy with my hotel choice, the only thing I regret is that it was too short and I plan to come back there again with my friends
Very enjoyable stay

We stayed at the Boomerang village with our family and friends as we were getting married.
Everyone had a fantantastic stay here. The rooms and grounds were emmaculate, The directors Paulo 1 and 2 were great, very helpful.
Our room had fabulous views of Kata and is about 10-15 min walk from the beach. If you have transport this is a much nicer place to stay, as it is not in the hussle and bussle of the main resort. But there is a hill that is very steep and hard to climb- so i would say transport by car or tuk tuk is required.
We would stay at this resort and recommed it to anyone.
The breakfast was very average- but to be fair, towards the end of our stay, we requested omletes and scrabbled egg which they were happy to make for us.
The staff were very friendly, expecially in the resterant- the girls that worked in the evening were lovely- happy to teach us Thai and really made us feel welcome. We would always have 1 last drink at the Bar/Resteraunt before heading to bed- and even if they were closing for the night they would still be happy to make them, nothing was to much trouble.
The food from ther resteraunt was lovely, and good value for money. The only critisism is that the food took ages to come and when your in a group the food did not come all together- several nights we ate there, it was 20-30 minutes from 1st to last dish coming out.
The pool was great- very relaxing, and we made good use of it- Can't beleive that it didnt have one ( the pool is a new addition)- money well spent!
Will be going back next year, and will definately stay here again.
Thanks to all of the staff for making our stay at the Boomerang pleasurable- and hopefully see you all next year.
A beautiful, romantic, relaxing paradise!
WaterfordGarry(waterford)
We stayed here for the first half of our honeymoon. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Great breakfast; lovely pool; beautiful gardens; really helpful staff; great restaurant and excellent cocktails. The staff drop you down to the beach for free any time up to 2pm. you can then either get a tuk tuk home or a lift from the hotel at 4pm. The staff were happy to serve breakfast early for us on the day when we left early for a tour. Thank you to Paolo and everyone else.
Great staff, Great Services
petr0(Amsterdam, NL)
I stayed for a few days here on the basis of other TripAdvisor reviews. The reviews are correct, it's a wonderful place and has some style at a good price. They even came to save me when my hired moped broke down!
Fantastico
LKitty(Hungary)
We mostly disliked Phuket, but this little resort is awesome! Up the hill, in a small tropical forest, where you can hear only the frogs and your proper breath. Nice furnished, spacious bungalows, very friendly and helpful staff (grazie, Paolo!). Was a bit strange to speak italian in Thailand, but it was very pleasant. You can have breakfast till 1:00 PM, so you don't need to wake up early. We'd like to return to see the new swimming pool and to eat a really delicous italian pizza.
a gem in Phuket
Giovanni-Mario(Milano - Italy)
We have a timeshare at J.W. Marriott, probably the best 5 star hotel in Phuket island, but we wished to know the owners of this hotel because they are italian like us.
What an incredible surprise!
We had only a thai buffet in the night, but immediately we considered this small but enchanting restaurant the best in Phuket .
And the atmosphere, the panoramic position, the pool like a terrace in the hill, the tropical gardens, all is absolutely charming.
And, last but not the least for us because Marriott is many kms far from everything, the pleasure to live in a paradisiac atmosphere, very silent of course, but from a short walking distance t o the typical bustling thai confusion of Kata area.
Compliments to Basso&Basso, the owners.
You are great!
An ABSOLUTE Must stay in Kata
Melissa_Bertie(Mount Gambier)
My fiancee and I had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay at Boomerang Village. We were greeted warmly with complementary drinks and flower necklaces. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels and sheets. The resort is absolutely gorgeous and the new pool is a welcome addition. The photos on the internet do not capture just how beautiful the resort is.
The friendly staff recommended some excellent places to visit and they were more than happy to book tours for us, always getting us a very good price. On one trip alone we save more than 800bhat each. (Siam sea canoe). Their very affordable scooter hire made our stay so much more enjoyable. With our own transport we were able to explore the Island and see a lot more than if you were to take on of the very very expesive Tuk-Tuk's. Word of advise.. stay clear of the Tuk Tuk "mafia" in Kata beach.
The one or two slightly negative reviews about Boomerang are unfair. We had a lovely stay at Boomerang Village and we will definitely be visiting again soon.
Thank you Paolo and staff for looking so well after us.
Great introduction to Phuket
Serendipit3(Japan)
I booked one of the bungalows for one night and then one of the cottages for 2 nights, with the hope that one of my old girlfriends would be able to meet me for 2 days. She couldn^t make it, and in pity the management upgraded me to a cottage for all 3 nights. It was a nice personal gesture, which you can expect from the hotel. I think they also felt it was only fair since I was eating breakfast for one instead of two (the food is excellent - I strongly recommend the cappuccino).
The staff are friendly and professional. It is a small hotel so many of the staff take on multiple duties, yet seem to have no problem doing them efficiently. The office staff (Thai and Italian, but speak English extremely well) were amazingly patient about giving me travelling advice.
I would strongly recommend this hotel for couples who are looking for ambience, but I should also say that while I was there a swimming pool was being built (to be finished by September/08, I think) and this will help to satisfy those would like to see more facilities.
I am never the easiest guest to please, but in this case the hotel staff were so wonderful that I left worrying that they would not remember me as well as I would remember them.
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
Fantastic stay!!
Napoleon72(Norway)
I was sitting in front of computer searching for a nice hotel in Phuket, and suddenly I came over Boomerang Village. The recomandations from this forum were outstanding, and they are all true.
First of all,- location: Its located away from the main road and away fron all those scandinavian restaurants in the city. The hotel is located in the hills overlooking Kata city. It is more or less in the jungle, and the noise from all the small animals when dusk arrives is just amazing - but fantastic!
When we arrived (hotel can pick you up in taxi at the airport-just send them a mail (800b)) we were welcomed by the staff and was presented flowers! and we were taken to their restaurant and given a welcome drink and some info about the place. The service and the staffs attitude was very good. Everything was "yes-of course".
The easiest is to rent at moto from the hotel (200 b/day), but you can also walk fown to the beach or to the city. It will take aprox 15 min.
The rooms are spacious and lovely decorated in Thai-style. The restaurant is very nice, and the food (italian and thai) is absolutely superb. Most probably you won't find any better place to eat italian pasta in the city! Breakfast was nice, with egg &bacon, fruit, jam.......++ Its served untill 2pm!! Great chill-out music too...
In march they started working with the pool which is finished in august/september, and when its finished it will be just a great place.

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.
Perfect vacation at Boomerang village!

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.
Nice place to stay

After the hot, dirty cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, coming to the Boomerang in Kata was wonderful. The pool is great and just what we needed! The restaurant is pretty average - the building looks good but the dinner was overpriced and really average. I expected the pasta to be good considering the owner is Italian but it was terrible. However the staff are great and really helpful. We didn't do our research and spent our one day walking the streets in Patong instead of hanging out at Kata beach and regretted that immensely. I do recommend this place for the most part, they do on the whole a great job.
