Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa

Krabi, Thailand

Virgin 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.

Had a less than expected stay. The room given to us wasn’t cleaned. The wait staff are rude towards us (maybe since we are Asians). They ignore us and don’t come to take our order or serve us. Not at all what I expected from a named hotel like “Centara”

Family holiday with three teens. Hotel location perfect on beach you can swim in pool or sea. Night entertainment and setting very good. Always clean and the biggest value is the staff, all of them super friendly and helpful.
