Don't worry about negative reviews, we were ready to enjoy our holiday no matter what happened and we were not disappointed. It took four days to wind down completely then we forgot what day it was! Our sign of good respite. We travelled to Thailand for the first time last month and were thrilled by the amazing experiences on offer... more

Just returned from Thailand, stayed at the Centara in Phuket, having been to Thailand 5 times now i have to say this is the least of my favourite trips. Firstly the hotel, having travelled for some 20 hours and being extremely tired i then had to wait 3 hours for my room to be ready this is the first time... more

We stayed in a delux lagoon room which was on the 2nd floor.The 2 queen beds were ok and we had sufficent room to move.If you were spending more time in the room sugest you upgrade.It was quiet at the time of our stay so was very enjoyable.Often we had the pool to ourselves and the most was about 20... more

Stayed at Centara Karon last week in October and had a great time. It was our first time to Phuket and chose Karon Beach as we had family and thought maybe a little quiter.

Myself and partner stayed at the Centara Karon in August 09, and where extremely impressed. We did bag a real bargin (£25 per night per room) but can safely say we would easily have paid more. On arrival we where upgraded from an ocean view room in the main building to a tropicale room which had 2 massive double beds... more

We have just arrived back from a 10 night stay at the hotel and have got to say we were exceptionally pleased with it. We were lucky that the weather was exceptional for the end of the monsoon, we had 30-35 degrees everyday, although some heavy downpours that woke us in the night. The hotel was very good, we opted... more

The reason I say there are better places to stay in Karon, because after staying here there has to be!!! Ok firstly there was massive confusion at check in (due to lack of English speaking skills on behalf of the staff). They had no record of our booking, which was made six months prior. Fuming a little, mmmm!! I got... more
