Myself and my husband stayed at the Centara with our 25 year old son and his friend from 16th May 2012 to 28th May 2012. We were in 1146 and 1155 (deluxe spa ocean facing rooms, high up in the resort). The rooms are large, well thought out and were probably beautiful when new but are now a little frayed... More

We returned from Centara Grand Beach Hotel in Krabi on 19th May 2012, we had a great holiday with plenty of sun. When going to this hotel please be aware that you can only get to it by boat, monkey trail (on foot), or by wading out into the sea at low tide, there are no roads at all that... More

Perfect getaway for honeymooners and for those who wants to avoid the crowd and all. Stayed at Spa Dlx with sea view via booking.com. We requested for the best room since we were celebrating our anniversary and the hotel granted all of our requests. We were given a room that is located right in the center, breathtaking view from our... More

We experienced poor room service, and had to chase Laundry and towel requests. 4 operational matters were raised, (Door locks would not operate(2), door handles falling off, lights not working). The halls were poorly illuminated, and it took me 2 days to get Monkey crap removed from the hallway, despite daily requests and the cleaners passing regularly. When it was... More

We decided to take our family vacation at Krabi, and after reading a few reviews on TripAdvisor we chose to stay at Centara Grand. It is a 5 star resort, has many great reviews, the location looked beautiful - but mostly I was convinced it would have good service since, well, everyone said so. Wrong. There were so many things...

We stayed here in May and had a great time with my family of 5. The resort is very secluded and the only way in to it was via speedboat. You need to remeber this when booking as its a little like being stuck on an island and the resort know it as they charge appropriately. If you want to... More

This resort is modern, beautiful, well-thought out, beautifully landscaped and has great food and a decent gym. The rooms are clean and modern and everything works. The pool and private beach are great during high season. While it is a little isolated, it has everything you need. To leave the resort and visit other sites just takes a little more... More
