“Luxorious”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

We didn't expect much, so we were very surprised, when we arrived to Centara.
The staff was really nice and they really did their best so that the guests would enjoy their visit.
Breakfast was diverse, though in two weeks it kinda started to be the same.
Rooms were comfortable and cozy. And cleaned everyday. Every now and then we got fresh fruits in our room - a little bit extra-something :)
The pools and restaurants were great - something for everyone.
I'd totally recommend this hotel for anyone. Thanks!

“Centara Karon Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

My partner and i had our honeymoon here. Excellent facility with different types of rooms for every budget. 3 swimming pools. The resort is well positioned, a couple of minutes to the beack and some of the best Thai food we've eaten. Most days the resort held a theme, whether it be a cultural show, a sea food fest etc. The staff so friendly and willing to point you in the right direction. Can also hire car from the resort to take you anywhere on the island (at a cost). Laundremat right across the road. Happy hour at the swim up bar in the terrace pool was the best!
Congrats to the team, we'll be back! Kob khun krab :)

Room Tip: Whole facility well appointed and not that noisy, so no problem there. Ocean side is better for view...

“fantastic family holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We stayed here July last year. We have such a lovely time and were treated like royalty by the very friendly staff. When we arrived we were given two king single beds for my husband and myself and our 3 year old son. This was not sufficient so we were promptly upgraded to a better room without issue. We highly recommend this great resort!!!!

We had an awesome stay in August/Sept 2012 - it was amazing, on the edge of quiet season. The staff were very friendly, and we requested a ground floor room within walking distance of the pool, and we got it! The pool was great fun, and it was nice to see everyone having a great time! We'd definitely go back in a heartbeat!

Room Tip: If you have a family request to be by the main pool with the slide, if you don't like that, choo...
