“Not a five-star establishment. In need of refurbishment”

Nov 24, 2025Wanderer42172624697

The first thing that hits you as you arrive is the beautiful location. Centara Grand is set in a hillside cove of the Andaman Sea. Check-in is relatively straightforward, although a little rushed. They also require a deposit of A$500 which seems quite steep. Then reality sets in. The room is shabby with a marble top table with cup rings and various other marks. Sliding partition doors are covered in hand marks. The bedside lamp doesn’t work. The bathroom has loose fittings and the shower has some sort of mould in the corner. There was a small TV on the wall which must have been about 12 years old and literally took 5 minutes to “warm up”. Housekeeping is obviously a very low priority here, as two of the seven days we were here we had to ask for the room to be serviced. When it was serviced it was done in a very slap-dash manner. Bed-making skills were not to the fore (see attached pic.). The exterior also has problems. Tiles in the lift were broken and the shade cloth screens over the sun loungers were filthy. Clearly in need of a deep clean or, more likely, a total refurbishment. Food was OK without being anything special and breakfast choices were a bit limited. There is a shuttle service to the nearby town but has a charge of A$10. Bit of a cash-grab in my opinion. To be clear, we are talking about an alleged 5-star establishment with a room rate of A$500 - 600 per night not a $100 per night roadside Motel. On the positive side, the restaurant staff were excellent. Always bright and cheery. Special shout out to Nat and Top in the Coast Bistro who were always attentive and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. All in all we had great expectations of Centara Grand based on other reviews but we were left very disappointed. Can’t recommend.
