Drawing its inspiration from the Sino-Portuguese architecture that characterises Phuket Town, this resort on Karon Beach is backed by a green hill and grouped around its own landscaped water park with its meandering lazy river, waterslides, kids’ pool with a waterslide, and adults-only pool with its own pool bar. You will love the other exhilarating leisure activities on offer, including kayaking, windsurfing and sailing, snorkelling, tennis, and Muay Thai (Thai boxing). Diving can be arranged, and there’s a fully-equipped fitness centre. Spa Cenvaree combines ancient healing practices that reflect Thailand’s wellbeing heritage with modern rejuvenation techniques to nurture and rebalance the body. The resort also has age-specific kids clubs, free Wi-Fi, and seven restaurants and bars. The rooms, suites and pool villas (49 to 209 sqm.) feature a balcony or terrace with soothing views of the pools, the gardens or the sea. Phuket International Airport is less than one hour away.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a great trip here at Centara grand. Kids had a great time joining in with all the activities with Tina and Willy from the Carpe Diem team! The kids spent most days in the slides and the lazy river. Great for family’s.. I spent most days at the pool bar

Let’s start with the pros. Pros - The beach it is on is stunning - kids loved the waterslides, lazy river and cliff jumping in the pool - Close to small set of shops so easy access via taxi or tuk tuk Cons (feel like there are too many to list); - rooms extremely dated and not up to scratch - power kept going out - food average at best - English wasn’t great - too far to walk into shops with kids as too hot Overall dissatisfied. Good quiet location if you don’t want the hustle and bustle. Pity the resort isn’t as good as the location. Not worth staying at just for some kids pool features. Spend your money on a real 5 star resort.

I agree with most reviews that this is a very good hotel, great location and suitable for young families so wont repeat in detail. Quick Pros and Cons: Pros- Location- great, close to Karon town for eating out etc. Beautiful beach, waters can get choppy at times and slopes quickly in some places so caution with little ones. Hotel is actually a nice design, if a little worn in places. Room comfortable with a good size balcony. Cons- Needs better access from hotel to Karon town. Hotel taxis over charge. You can walk along the beach but you may get wet/sandy if dressing up. There's no suitable pedestrian access by the road. My biggest negative though is the Hotels policy on food and (particularly) drink prices. My partner had what must have been the smallest glass of white wine we've seen which cost around £8. For us to share a basic bottle of white wine would have cost us nearly £40! Small bottles of (often warm) local beer were around £4 as were tea and coffee. Same for the prices in the room mini bar - you don't expect this when paying a premium for a 5* star hotel, often there are some inclusive drinks options in the room. When we did eat at the hotel, generally the food was good, but again let down by high prices. The breakfast buffet was good. We ended up, as seemed most other guests, eating most of our meals in Karon town where there are some excellent cafe/bar/restaurants and around a third of the price. Also plenty of 7/11 s etc. for taking drinks back to enjoy on the room balcony (which was lovely to enjoy the sunset). So to conclude, in my opinion this is a good hotel but could have so much more potential with some simple fixes. Would i return? probably not due to the high food and drinks pricing but it may suit better those who aren't fussed on enjoying evening drinks (eg young families)

Absolutelly satisfied! Only 3 points take into consideration : 1) hotel is locoted isolated at the end of Karong beach. If want go to 7 eleven shop or small centrum it takes 35minutes by walk on the beach or need to use hotel tuktuk or taxi But for those who prefer to stay all time in the hotel area will be fully satisfied and I assure you - never boring 2) hotel is mostly concentrate for family with small children - take into consideration durign breakfast and around the pool should be little noisy. 3) Hotel furniture need to be renovate. Its very very old and used - what a shame But!! Everything was perfect we was absolutely satisfied with everything. Specialy we would like to very thanks to BEST nanys at the Kids club - Tuang, Mon, Kwan, May & Pang!! Many thanks for all - you are great! Olivia & the family

Excellent hotel.without compromise. We stayed at hotel 16 days in March 2024. Perfect servis. All staff very friendly and helpfull. Very tasty all food - italisn restaurant and ses food bufet also. Every morning excersice in pool and competition. Lovely staff at kids club.amazing spa. But mainly - its our 4th stay at Phuket (private villas, Mandarawa, Westin Siray ).. and this hotel is definitely best. Clear sea, fantastic location.only one point - some furniture needs renovation but I fully understand owners they not invest because hotel is fully booked anyway :) last we would like to special thanks for best staff ever - IDA and SOFFIAN WAMENG and ANAN all of staff on breakfast. If our financial situation allows it we definitely come back

The Hotel is beautiful with very kind and friendly staff! Our room was always clean and very comfortable with private pool and certainly with wonderful seaview! I would especially like to mention our maid! We traveled with our plush (as our child :) ) and she's always gave something surprise to us! I hope, we could come back sometime! Thank for all Centara Hotel!

We enjoyed staying at the Hotel and enjoyed the pool areas thoroughly. The breakfast was a huge spread and well enjoyed. Enjoyed the BBQ night and had a good dinner. But the rooms need serious updating and maintenance.

The location is nice with a quiet decent stretch of beach. Not convenient if a daily trip to the convenience shop is necessary on a daily basis. A long steep walk is required to get to the nearest 7-11 shop. Pool is of decent size. Breakfast selections isn’t exactly up to standard considering this is a 5 star hotel. Selections are limited. Housekeeping have lots to improve on regarding their cleanliness standards. Our bedsheets and blanket covers were extremely dirty upon inspection. I still possess photos as evidence of the dirty stained sheets and blankets covers. I informed front desk personnel to have them replaced twice and it wasn’t done after sufficient time was given. Had to inform a third time before action was taken. Toilet amenities weren’t replaced and supplemented on a daily basis as with most 5 star hotels of the same league. All towels aren’t clean, they were mostly with a yellow tint on it instead of supposedly to be in white. There weren’t any clothes racks to dry out laundry. The balcony is big and comfortable but the balcony blinds aren’t working like they should, aren’t keeping out the light and privacy. For the price range paid to a so called 5 star hotel this is extremely high, price range not worthy and totally not justified for at all. Especially when the interior, exterior and overall infrastructure is very outdated. The rooms does not have black out curtains and it is very annoying in the morning when one is trying to get good sleep, the daylight spills through the blinds that isn’t helpful at all. Bottom line; I felt cheated by the price I paid for and it just wasn’t justified for. There are others 5 star hotels around the same vicinity that are better and cheaper than this.
