Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa

Loading hotels

Krabi, Thailand

4 stars

Reserving itself a relatively peaceful pitch along the otherwise popular postcard-perfect Ao Nang Beach, this sea-facing sanctuary gives you the best of both worlds — seaside seclusion and all the life and fun of Krabi. This brand new beachfront hotel is ideal for those wanting to lounge by the large free-form pool or beachfront terrace during the day and take a short stroll down to Krabi’s local restaurants and bars for the evening. It also comes with all the benefits of being a new hotel on the block, including bright contemporary décor, the latest in-room mod cons, and long-favoured luxuries like Thai-inspired treatments at Spa Cenvaree.

“Location location”

Before staying at Centara Ao Nang Spa I would have said Centara leaned toward a more luxury brand. While our stay was good dont book the hotel if you are expecting a strong 4 star to 5 star experience. Pros - Do yourself a favour sign up to be a Centara member for free and then book direct with hotel - we got 15% of the value of our stay recredited in resort dollars for food and drinks. Ended up covering nearly $400 of F&B credit and we paid no more for the room by booking direct. - Rooms were great - especially for families. We had a family room with the bunk bed in a small room within the room on the top floor of block 5. We faced the pool with the water slides but being high up didn’t find noise disturbing. The rooms have great black out blinds which meant we all slept in on our relax days. - two pools - one with slides for the kids and a more adult (but kid friendly) pool by the beach. Even with kids we preferred the later simply because it was serviced very well by staff and had more seating options around the pool which the first one is lacking. - happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails every day 1-3pm and 6-7pm by the beach pool was a great way to enjoy sunset or unwind after a long tour day. Food at pool bar/restaurant was fairly decent probably the best we had at the hotel (The Fisherman’s Bar located next door also has decent food and is a convenient option). - airport transfers were easy to coordinate with the hotel. - free fire show on the beach at 7pm every Tuesday and Thursday - Live music by the beach most nights (but the sisters that sung Tues and Thurs were a complete highlight) - Good hotel with kids especially 6-12year olds (that being said not sure it would be my choice if you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a quiet holiday spot) - Location - for us we loved the location at one end of Ao Nang. We don’t mind walking and enjoyed the quiet end of the beach. That being said if you don’t enjoy walking, have mobility issues or want to have a party vibe this isn’t the hotel for you. Cons - The trench running through the hotel that 90% of time earnt its name from our family of “the poo trench”. The stench is unbelievable and there were rooms facing the trench that I had zero clue how they coped. I would have lost my mind. How Centara hasn’t reinvested money into the community to try to deal with this stench trench is really surprising. I’d reduce the hotel to 3 star just based on this alone. - After experiencing really great concierge service at the front of hotels in other parts of Thailand we found Centara really lacked in this area. In other hotels we’ve had a security member checking with tour operators as they arrived who they were coming for etc. Centara had a significant lack of this. - Breakfast - there’s a whole lot of breakfast but overall the quality was really really low for this type of hotel. Low quality food and breakfast options. We are super accustomed to staying places with foods from different cultures that wasn’t the issue. It was that all of it was super average. Average enough that on day 4 we actually ate out for breakfast. The egg and soup station lines often were very long because clearly people wanted a “fresh cooked” option. This is an area that feels Centara could easily work on. - Room service - again food was super average. Also frustrating you can’t just order plate of fries for kids despite being able to do this downstairs. We enjoyed our stay there were pros and cons but definitely things that could be improved.
