relaxing place”

This is my third time staying in Centara Grand Beach resort. I like the resort in it's small island not too crowed with people. This is the best part. Staff very friendly, Thai food is really good. Especially Tom Yam Goong soup. But this year i realized quite a few foreigner like Indonesian working at the Resort. I will prefer the local Thai staff more calm and friendly.

Amazing!!!!”

I went here with my husband on our honeymoon. We had such a great time. We loved every part of our experience at Centara and would highly recommend. The staff were very helpful and the kitchen staff were fantastic to catering to my dietary requirements. The food was amazing! Well done Centara

Exotic location good for honeymoon travellers”

The hotel is located near ao nang. However, you can only reach by boat. There is no land connectivity and hence one need to depend on the shuttle timings. The staff was very cooperative and the location is nice. If you are looking for an exotic place, it is worth giving a try.

Great staff but pretty much cast away from everything not a place for olders or little children”

Pro : great view i enjoyed the beach, room is nice exactly like what i booked. You can booked tour or have tour come pick u up at the hotel shore pretty convenient! Breakfast is nice. Room service food is delicious. Con : hotel is pretty much cast away u need to wait and took a boat for 15 min to shore or u can walk across the mountain rock to city side ( this case im with parents so they wont be able to climb the rock like that) also, the room is located on a slope of the rock u need a lot of walk to get to the lobby. In my case i rent a car we need to park at the office of hotel which is not on the shore after all we took about 30 min back and forth from hotel to parking lot. I wont recommend this place for those who come with babies or children and elders pretty hard to get to the hotel with a super hot climate. I will recommend for couples and friends they have 24/7 room service

Fantastic ”

Pros....I was upgraded to a villa with a pool from an ocean view room....the location was perfect and had wonderful views of the island....9/10 I will give due to the fact the facilities were little bit older but manageable. Upgrade to the club cause you can get your breakfast thr and snacks throughout your entire stay. Very kid friendly resort also. Cons...As every hotel...drinks and meals will be expensive if you decide to dine at the property....but you have many options near by by boat for much cheaper price and same quality. Overall. I will stay again.

Excellent”

The hotel itself was loevly great remote location, the main issue we had was that the only way to the hotel was by boat. This wasn't an issue as such but very clearly documented and the worst part was that they only ran at certain times. So upon checking out we were stung with a large bill to pay for a private longboat (The only way to leave the resort at that time to ensure we made our flight)

Beautiful resort! ”

Located in a private are only accessible by boat, the place is beautiful! You can do a lot on the resort as it has pool, bar, canoe and paddle boat rental, etc. We got a room overlooking the beach and had a hot tub. The breakfast options are amazing and also they have several restaurant options. I would recommend this place for families and families with kids. During our stay, I had to visit the nurse multiple time, which is located on the resort. She was very friendly and helpful!

3 star Motel”

From experienced traveler: Not worth it. 3 star Motel. Rooms by the pool on a ground floor need MAJOR renovation. Transfers to airport are not included, but they have a boat every hour to and from ao nang town where all the shops are. if your flight leaves early, plan it well, as the first boat leaves 7 something AM, and could be late and or not transfer at all if weather is stormy. On a low tide you will be able to see the beach full of trash, which some don't mind. The beach water is just dirty and murky. Pools are clean. No ATM at hotel, so have enough cash and credit card. Massages at SPA are just as they written, so don't bother to fill out any paper of "on which areas to concentrate ", it won't happen. Better off take a boat to ao nang and have massage there for 200 baht (as appose 1800). Take lots of mosquitoe ointments, it's not in hotel amenities. Also toothbrush, razor, comb are not included in amenities. You have 4 small bottles of water a day, then you pay.

A fantastic holiday destination”

Food in the restaurants was fantastic and authentic. The taste and flavor was original. The breakfast spread was great and the coffee machine delivered an excellent latte. The location is off the main area but Ao Nang town and beach area are accessible either by speed boat and the monkey trail but seriously there is no real reason to go to town to look for food as the hotel food was truly excellent. The staff throughout the resort are very helpful. The whole holiday was perfect

Amazing resort ”

The resort is simply fantastic. It is located in a national park with breathtaking landscape and monkeys roaming along the monkey trail that tourist love very much. The rooms are huge and all with a nice view, either to the garden or to the sea. The staff is very friendly and professional. Breakfast has huge variety of Asian and European food. I loved everything about the resort.

Excellent”

You would have to walk to Ao Nang beach by a Monkey Trail, which is about 400 meters, be ware because there are real monkeys, not always but they may steal your food, they are used to humans anyway. One night there was no light so it was a bit frightening; hotel facilities are a bit old but well conserved, the pool water was cold for us so did not have much fun on that area, you have free Kayaks which is cool and also free shuttle to Krabi

Escape”

Great escape from reality. Just secluded enough to get you out of the hubub of the main tourist strip, but not so far that you can't get into the markets and restaurants. Great rooms, well kept, nice surroundings. hard beds.

Exceptional”

Excellent speedboat shuttle service to to city centre. 10mins. Suitable for youngsters, couple, family. Not for old people because the boat pier floats on water. Not stable. Can check with the hotel. Might have other alternative access for elder people.

Beautiful setting, but needs a little TLC”

Absolutely breathtaking scenery, and the staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Facilities are good, particularly with club membership, but they're a little slack on the repairs. We mentioned a broken door and broken lights on our balcony, on two separate occasions. We were assured both would be taken care of, but nothing ever happened. Didn't spoil the stay, but at these prices I expected better results. Boat service is limited, with hugely inflated prices for anything other than the free hourly service to Nopparat pier, which is miles away from Ao Nang proper. Better to take the "monkey trail" walk from the resort to Ao Nang beach and buy your boat tickets in Ao Nang if you want to visit Railay/Ton Sai.

Great beach resort and fantastic location for me time ”

Myself and Wife loved Centara Grand beach resort. We had such enjoyable stay. Our room was clean with an amazing view. Staff was so friendly. We will return and recommend to anyone wanting a getaway relaxing holiday.

Very good”

I would actually expect more cleaness for such hotel as most of thr time I needed to clean the bath or hot tube before getting in, Had a mouse in my room, but the staff is very very friendly and listen to every need. Beware of price overhelm, prices are 10-12 times more expensive than outside, and when the only way to reach outside by boat, you gonna spend, a lot!

One of the most Beautiful Beach resorts in the world”

Simply Stunning Hidden Beach cove resort, very secluded reachable only via private power launch directly from the city to the resort. Simply breathtaking complex, jacuzzi tubs on the balconies overlooking nothing but greenery, the beach and tall tree covered mountains jutting out of the ocean directly in front of the resort. Great facilities, terrific food, good room service and not too costly. Very nice place to relax and recharge, my wife's favorite place to go in Thailand just to recharge and relax.

Nice, extra charges add up”

Resort was nice, clean and friendly staff. You have to take boat or walk monkey trail to get to town Ao Nang. There are plenty of options on resort but very pricey compared to out in town. We went to town each day so if you like to get out keep that in mind. If you want to stay put you can but everything will cost 4x as much as out in town, food , massages, laundry, etc. we had a great stay and it’s in a good central location to activities bit would likely not stay again.

This place is awesome!”

Great resort, great location, great service and rooms! We did kayaking and walked at the monkey trail. From pick up arrangement at Aonang till check out everything run smoothly and well managed.

You can not miss this hotel in Krabi”

Great hotel with Great staffs (especially Premium Club staff Ms Geena). We enjoyed there much more than we expected at Deluxe Ocean Facing Room, which is highly recommended. We have been travelling 3-4 x /year for last 20 years. We put this hotel on among tops.
