Centara Villas Phuket Phuket Reviews

for honeymooners Guest Rating: 4.2

The hotel comprises many little chalets clinging to a very steep and wooded hill overlooking the sea. There is a good pool complex equally carved out on a terrace. Each of the chalets / rooms has a bed draped in mosquito nets and the atmosphere is extremely romantic. The steep hillside ensures privacy for honeymooners etc, and make the place not very suitable for the elderly or those with very small children. The entertainment area of Karon beach is quite close, - bu t not close enough. I would never stay there without renting a car.

beautiful rooms in a great location

very quiet area. You need to hire a car

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : I have recommended visits should arrange their own car, but the hotel runs a shuttle to Karon Beach and once there, getting a taxi back is no problem at all.

Good and Bad Guest Rating: 4.2

We were extremely disappointed with the reception staff. We had a medical emergency and were waiting on a fax from our insurance company. The reception staff were asked to phone our villa as soon as it came which they didn't do. Each time I phoned them I was told it hadn't arrived. I phoned Australia from our villa a number of times and was told it had been sent. When I went up to personally check the fax machine I found that it actually had arrived quite some time earlier. We asked reception to book a car for 6.30 am on the day of our check out and to tell the driver he had to go to the airport via the hospital. We paid 900BHT for the service and on the day the driver didn't turn up. When the car hadn't arrived by 6.30 am we asked reception to phone the company only to be told it was on its way. 15 minutes later we asked the reception staff to phone as the driver had still not arrived. She phoned but didn't come over to us to explain what was happening. We had to ask her several times, in the end she said he had had a car accident and wasn't coming. She had no interest or understanding of the problem we were then facing. The company we booked has many cars and we both felt that we had been lied to and that reception hadn't actually booked a car. By this stage it had become a major problem due to flight times, so the night staff reception boy took us in his car. He confirmed that reception had forgotten to book the car service. The car we traveled in was filthy both inside and out. Only one of us could sit in the back seat as it was sopping wet from Songkran five days earlier. The young man who drove us had extremely limited English and did not understand that we needed to go via the international hospital. He did apologise for the state of his car and said he wasn't expecting to have any passengers. When we finally managed to get to the airport he charged a 1000THB payment for the ride. The hotel refunded the original 900THB which we had paid for the limousine serv

The best! Guest Rating: 4.5

We were nervous about staying at the Villas having read some negative reviews on Agoda about staying on such a steep hill, but when we got there, we were so impressed! There is a minicar that will ferry you up the hill at any time of day or night and the access to the beach is great! Just a short path, and made of concrete steps - not a treacherous path at all!

• Hotel Feature Tip : If you can, ask for a villa close to the bottom of the hill, as this is the closest to the beach and pool. Around room 411 is perfect.

Nice hotel Guest Rating: 4.3

So many good things - a shame about the rooms Guest Rating: 3.3

We would return again because of the location and helpful staff however it is a great shame that the room facilities are so poor even after the recent rennovation
