Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa

Krabi, Thailand

Star rating

The hotel

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.

We booked our week at Centara a long way in advance to get a good deal. We had stayed previously in Centara Phuket and really enjoyed it, so we were hoping for a similar experience.

We booked our week at Centara a long way in advance to get a good deal. We had stayed previously in Centara Phuket and really enjoyed it, so we were hoping for a similar experience. We were not disappointed! Checkin was great, and our bags were taken to oir room. We booked a room overlooking the beach and front pool. I asked to be as high as possible, amd we got a room on the top floor (4th floor) - perfect! It was modern and spotless, and serviced every day. The location is right on Ao Nang beach, and its an easy 5 min walk to dozens of restaurants, and bars. We used the gym and it was fine. The pool was nice and the attendants were thorough, nothing was too.much trouble. The breakfast is epic, options for every diet and taste. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely stay again if we are back at Ao Nang. Read less

Travelled March 2024 but didn't write the review. Traveled as a family of 4,2 adults, 2 children aged 5 and 9. We booked as part of a multi-destination trip via tui with a company called gold medal who I cannot recommend enough. We had private transfers from each hotel and everything was on time every time. This was our first of three hotels. The location of this hotel is amazing. It's right on the end of AO Nang beach, next to the monkey trail there are some monkeys adventure onto the beach. You can easily walk down the promenade into Krabi and access all of the main restaurant areas the night market along with loads of boat options. This is a really easy place to get to the islands from via a long tail boat. We did a few Island trips from here. We also went around the corner to Railay which is lovely. We hired some sea kayaks on AO Nang beach and kayaked around 809 Tower which you can see from the beach is really beautiful scenery. The rooms were lovely, spacious and clean. The whole hotel was lovely and tidy. Staff were friendly. The breakfast was really good. Lots of choice and a nice outside area to sit on nice chilled breakfast. They're two swimming pools at this hotel, one within the central area of the hotel that has a slide and they do some fun activities here throughout the day. The other one is on the beachfront and more of a chilled vibe. Really good location again. They have live music there of an evening. I have recommended this hotel to lots of people based on value for money,.location and just overall experience was really good. Read less

The only negative I’d say was I’d expect more choice at breakfast. Read less

If you read any negative reviews on this site I found them to be unfounded. The rooms were big and spacious and clean. We only ate at the hotel for breakfast and found the food to be of good quality.

Absolutely loved this hotel! Staff were so friendly & helpful. Room was enormous & spotless. There were plenty of food choices for breakfast. The hotel is in an amazing location, right on the front & only a five minute walk from the main street. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
