It's a great hotel, we've been here many times. It's a little old and needs renovation, but it's a great location! Cool kids room! Pang, May, Mon, Kwan had a great time entertaining our two sons! A variety of food. But this year it's a little worse than last year. Last year, every room had beach slippers, this year only disposable and on request.… Read more
It's a great hotel, we've been here many times. It's a little old and needs renovation, but it's a great location! Cool kids room! Pang, May, Mon, Kwan had a great time entertaining our two sons! A variety of food. But this year it's a little worse than last year. Last year, every room had beach slippers, this year only disposable and on request. Old sun beds that need to be changed a long time ago. In the pool, the floor and walls are sharp, you need to change the tiles. At the same time, the price of accommodation has increased Read less

Centara is not new but ticks every possible aspect of a family destination. Relaxing environment , nice restaurant and more importantly semi private beach which is literally outside the pool area. You can't beat it , we stayed at another resort and had to pass through a busy road to get to beach which was very disappointing. You may need a super quick ride to karon center but that's less than 2kms. Lots of fresh options for breakfast everyday and multiple cousin choices per day based on restaurants you pick. Overall for a couple or family who want peace and relaxation i highly recommend. Read less

We have almost finished our time here and it’s been very good! The rooms are gorgeous, some with rather cold private pools and some with hot spas- we experienced both and they were equally good. Yes the hotel is a little dated but very well maintained with gorgeous pools and gardens and the sunsets are to die for! The food however at night is rather disappointing. I think they need to invest in better chefs who have more of an idea of Western cuisine. The Thai food though is very good as are the breakfasts. It is a little far out of Patong but taxis are readily available for 400 baht! We’ve had a really lovely time here and can thoroughly recommend it! Read less
