“Absolutely Fabulous.”

Oct 14, 2025Dave2315

I was impressed from the moment I drove in the front gate. If you are looking for or need to chill, relax & unwind, then The Grand Centara is where you need to be. The Grand Centara oozes Old English charm of a bygone era. The main foyer is absolutely stunningly beautiful. You are greeted by the most fabulous, friendly and professional staff and the check in is simple & straightforward. The resorts rooms, restaurants, bars & other facilities are top level & second to none. The resort has vast outdoor green areas with an abundance of manicured lawns, gardens & trees. It is most definitely NOT a concrete monolith. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Well done Grand Centara. 10 out of 10.

“Excellent stay”

A beautiful property in a great location, with exceptional service, warm hospitality, and delicious food — a truly delightful stay.

“An oasis of tranquility yet in the centre of all the action.”

Although the hotel is undergoing renovations you would hardly know this during your stay. Centara Grand Hua Hin is still an oasis of piece, tranquility with beautifully manicured gardens and right on the beach. The rooms are extremely comfortable, clean and spacious and the breakfast is exceptional catering for all tastes. Book a club room for that little extra special treatment in the club lounge over evening cocktails. The staff are super attentive and will cater for your every need. Highly recommended, Enjoy your stay 😊
