This place did not disappoint. We stayed in a plunge pool room, and it was amazing. The room, the staff the included breakfast was all great. The pool's, gardens and surrounding areas were all spotless and well maintained. The beach beautiful as it is cleaned daily by the hotel, it was private with no one selling anything.

Tucked away on a sun-drenched shore where the jungle meets the sea, this Thai beach resort felt like stepping into a dream woven from salt air and golden light.

Tucked away on a sun-drenched shore where the jungle meets the sea, this Thai beach resort felt like stepping into a dream woven from salt air and golden light. Hammocks swayed between palm trees, the scent of lemongrass drifted from an open-air spa, and each sunset painted the sky in colors no photo could ever capture. The staff treated us like family, the food was a love letter to Thai cuisine, and every moment felt suspended in bliss — as if time politely paused so we could savor paradise a little longer Read less

My recent stay at Centara Grand Beach Hotel was very disappointing. Despite booking in advance, I was asked to pay more than late bookings, which was confusing and unfair.

My recent stay at Centara Grand Beach Hotel was very disappointing. Despite booking in advance, I was asked to pay more than late bookings, which was confusing and unfair. Communication between the Front Office, F&B, and HQ was poor, and I didn’t receive the "Suite Heaven" promotion I booked online. I was told to contact HQ directly, which was inconvenient and didn’t resolve problems that I didn’t get hotel credit-that fraund. Check-out took an hour, and they couldn’t find my credit booster payment made at check-in. The check-in process was unorganized—no directions to the room, you can’t leave before they checked completely, and I had to carry my luggage myself. The room was outdated and dirty, with broken private pool flooring and sharp surfaces in the main pool area. Breakfast was below standard, and parking was limited. Additionally, my father slipped in the Cove restaurant without any staff assistance. The only bright spot was Karon Beach, which was beautiful. Overall, I was very disappointed with my stay and hope the hotel takes steps to improve. Read less

This hotel truly lives up to its grand reputation, perfectly situated on the stunning Karon Beach. With its pristine white sands stretching along the shoreline, guests can stroll barefoot and enjoy the crystal-clear waters just steps away. The décor features a charming Sino-Portuguese style, exuding elegance, classic beauty, and a harmonious atmosphere. During my stay in the Deluxe Suite Private Pool, I was enchanted by the private pool with an ocean view right outside the room. It was the perfect spot to relax and watch breathtaking sunsets—definitely a romantic highlight! The room was spacious and beautifully decorated in a classic style, complete with a luxurious bathtub for ultimate relaxation. The resort’s highlights include two amazing pools. The main pool offers a lively beachfront ambiance with a Jacuzzi, lazy river, slides, and floating rings—ideal for all ages and fun-filled adventures. For those seeking tranquility and privacy, the adult-only pool upstairs provides a serene escape with distant sea views and a relaxed vibe. Dining options are plentiful with three restaurants: COAST, The Cove, and Mare, each offering a unique menu. We enjoyed a delectable dinner at The Cove’s buffet, featuring fresh, flavorful dishes that made the evening special. Breakfast was also served here, with a diverse array of Thai and international cuisines—an authentic Centara experience. Overall, Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket offers a luxurious, family-friendly, and romantic getaway right on beautiful Karon Beach. Highly recommended for those seeking comfort, elegance, and unforgettable ocean views! Read less
