We stayed for 3 nights at the Centara Grand at Krabi in August this year. The timing was not the best as it was during the monsoon and it rained almost throughout our stay. The resort can only be reached by boat and it looks stunning on the approach by sea, as the property has a backdrop of this huge... more

Overall, my wife and I had a terrific time at the Centara Grand on our honeymoon. We felt the staff was very helpful and courteous. Some things, such as checking in, took a little more time than they should have, but we didn't feel it was overly burdensome. The place is carved out of the jungle and we thought they... more

My wife and I visited this hotel for 5 nights in November 2009. Having returned and re-read some of the reviews, I can say that on balance the reviews are broadly an accurate reflection of the experience in the resort. The positives: - Beautiful location - Pleasant Japanese restaurant Spot issues we experienced: - Miserable staff with a relatively poor... more

A gorgeous location and a lovely hotel. Very romantic. Excellent service. Fantastic rooms with wonderful views. Only down side is that the food and drinks are massivley overpriced (£2.50 for can of coke), but that it my only complaint. A perfect honeymoon hotel, but more than 5 days and you may get a bit bored as it is away from... more

We chose this hotel for its fabulous scenery and as such booked a 'Premium Deluxe Ocean Facing' room and were looking forward to admiring the great view from our balcony. After being shown to our room I was... more
