Inspected the hotel with colleagues with the inspection as part of a promotional tour.
General information:
Located on Karon Beach. First line. There are beach towels, there are no sun loungers and umbrellas. There is no road between the beach and the hotel. The entrance to the sea is gentle, with cliffs. There is no bar on the beach.
Deposit upon arrival 2000 baht per day, or block them on the card.
Year of construction 2007, renovation 2015. For me, the renovation is not very visible.
There are 9 buildings in total.
Wi-fi paid everywhere, 150 baht per day.
For children bp slides, playground, class schedule.
The hotel has 3 categories of rooms. The territory is large, shuttles on it are also paid 50 baht to the circle (the circle is next to the reception, next to the beach).
Inspected Deluxe ocean facing. 49 sq. m. There are showers, there are baths.
Tea, water, coffee every day.
Extra bed - sofa, but can put a full bed.
The area is very beautiful, all in ponds and waterfalls.
I didn’t like the hotel, we walked past the restaurant, there was an unpleasant smell of fried fish, like in Patong. I would not want to pay money and experience such discomfort. It is not very clear to me why everything is paid, despite the fact that the price of the hotel is not cheap.

Location. One of the rare hotels located right on the beach at the very beginning of Karon Bay. Several buildings of different heights, interconnected. The style is reminiscent of classic colonial. Lush vegetation creates comfort and privacy. To Patong, at least $ 10 for a taxi one way. Number. All rooms are facing the sea, but due to overgrown vegetation it may not be visible.

Number. All rooms are facing the sea, but due to overgrown vegetation it may not be visible. Choose from rooms with jacuzzis or private infinity pools.
Beach. On the edge of Karon public beach. Local and other vacationers practically do not come. The color of the sand is light, but not white. There are no sun loungers or deckchairs on the beach. There is no natural shade from plants on the beach either. In some places, the beach is overgrown with grass, snags and other debris can come across.
The only hotel in Karon with direct access to the beach, without crossing the road.

Rested with his wife the second half of November, positive impressions. The hotel staff is beyond praise. Believe me, there is something to compare. The location is perfect. The area is always clean. I myself am a conservative, and for myself I made a choice. In Thailand, I will rest only in this hotel. Many thanks to all the staff of the hotel for supporting this oasis of happiness with your work.

The beach is amazing, spacious, and the sea is generally class and it’s not dirty, it just gets cloudy when the waves swim with pleasure !! ! I sincerely recommend this hotel to everyone!

the hotel is more suitable for a quiet, measured rest! I didn’t find any special minuses, since I didn’t look for them especially - I came to rest, and not for this! The location is good! the hotel is located at the very beginning of the beach - comfort, peace and tranquility, apart from that you will not find anything here.

the hotel is more suitable for a quiet, measured rest! I didn’t find any special minuses, since I didn’t look for them especially - I came to rest, and not for this! The location is good! the hotel is located at the very beginning of the beach - comfort, peace and tranquility, apart from that you will not find anything here. You can also easily get to the center like Karon or Patong. The rooms are on a hill! We were seated right away, the rooms are luxurious. Especially those that are on the top floor, where we lived. It's great to spend the evenings on the balcony. Taking a jacuzzi in a thunderstorm on the balcony is just a fairy tale. In the room: a bathroom, a safe, a TV set, a telephone, a hairdryer, air conditioning, and a refrigerator (everything in it for a fee is deducted from the deposit! ). The room was cleaned daily, fresh bedding was made, towels and accessories in the bathroom were changed. a cafe near the beach is inexpensive and tasty, they can even put a table in the sea))) Go - you will not regret it !! ! The beach is nearby, and the sun loungers are paid. Vacationing here was great!

I hope someone needs the information. Why do people have so much negativity, they probably don’t know how to relax. Two weeks ago I wanted to read at least something about the hotel (still new), but the reviews are very few and generally negative. Because of this, I was very upset, because the tickets had already been bought.

I hope someone needs the information. Why do people have so much negativity, they probably don’t know how to relax. Two weeks ago I wanted to read at least something about the hotel (still new), but the reviews are very few and generally negative. Because of this, I was very upset, because the tickets had already been bought. The hotel is wonderful, the rooms are chic and all with a view of the sea, the breakfast is ordinary (it could have been more varied), but lunch and dinner are very tasty (of course, hotel prices are expensive, dinner buffet with seafood is 980 baht per person, water is free), it’s just strange to eat in a hotel for 2.500 baht (a chic dinner with wine for two) when there’s such a freebie around (in local restaurants around there are a lot of them for 1000 baht, you can just overeat outrageously lobster 160 baht shrimp 120 baht fish 40 baht all for 100 grams of fresh from mango 50 baht a glass), that's what upset me in the restaurant with a minimum of fruits with their abundance and low prices (mango 120 baht, pineapple 20-40 baht). Despite the fact that the hotel is new, there is no "eternal repair", everything is done, everything is completed, only they are busy with vegetation, they plant something, they water it. No smell was noticed about the terrible rivers, it was drained after the rains, so the water is not transparent, but people write horror about sewers. The sea is clear, the sand is clean and crunches underfoot. I wish everyone more positive emotions and do not spoil your vacation by finding fault with trifles.

Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket 5 * - a new hotel for which 5 can be put to the architect, he was able to arrange all the rooms with sea views, but did not solve the issue with 2 rivers - (stink) that flow from two sides of the hotel. Actually, these are not rivers, but drains from nearby towns, in which everything is present, diseases, faeces, etc.

Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket 5 * - a new hotel for which 5 can be put to the architect, he was able to arrange all the rooms with sea views, but did not solve the issue with 2 rivers - (stink) that flow from two sides of the hotel. Actually, these are not rivers, but drains from nearby towns, in which everything is present, diseases, faeces, etc. Therefore, the sea in front of the hotel is just a decoration, it’s scary to swim in it! stars, they simply don’t know how to clean the rooms, it’s not their fault, no one taught, and no one checks! if you give 100 baht they will try a little, they will even bring a couple of scary tangerines, if you don’t give it, then they will cover their eyes by the evening! I am silent about the ice, as I tried to ask for ice (they still carry it), Meals: There are two restaurants in the hotel, Italian (5-chef well done) and. . another. . there are no words about it, as well as about the breakfasts that are served in it (they don’t serve a buffet with a show off, if only the Swedes don’t see such a table! ) There seems to be a lot of everything on the buffet, but for some reason the guests stand with outstretched plates for scrambled eggs for 15-30 minutes. (I myself stood, I know that everything else, at best, looks like food, not food) and breakfast for two is 1580 baht (1 baht = 1 rub). For reference in a good restaurant near the hotel (15 min. walk) 400 baht for two with service!!! ! Lunch at the hotel per person at least 1000 baht, close to 300, but much tastier! dinner too! Why not think about the hotel manager, and not wind up 2000% (a bottle of water is 157 baht, 7 baht in the market), but 500-600%, because how much money would tourists leave at the hotel, and not dragged to the city! And massage, SPA - in the hotel 5000-6000 baht, in the city of Spa 1200, massage-250, So you have to: swim in the sea 1 km from the hotel in a 5 star hotel, eat and Spa in the city, and only sleep in the hotel! I thought a 5-star service obliges you to think about guests, and not just about profit, although with extortionate prices, they don’t understand that they are losing MORE, both in money and in reputation! Separately, about Communications: In the morning, let the tap water run, only then wash your face, brown water comes out, the air conditioner did not work for a week, then 6 people started the repair, which is still ongoing, filled all the clothes with some kind of dirt! Internet: They take it in full, for 7 days 1650 baht it works only in the evening, barely, after 12 days of struggle, it finally worked, but it's time to leave. Especially about Russian: in the hotel 70% are from Russia, there is no Russian television, no one knows and does not want to know the Russian language, except for one person PETER (Peter) the administrator from Russia! Low bow to him! If not for him, who did everything for the Russians (LIGHTNING ROD), the hotel management would have got it! The question arises: Is there a guide? I think no! Finally, I do not dissuade you from going to this hotel, I will even go back there someday! Compatriots, if you pay, money, no worse than others, then make yourself respected! Enough That the Russians are held for the 2nd grade, EDUCATE!

You can, of course, go to Pattaya - it's cheaper, but my advice: Phuket, Karon Beach, Centara Hotel - it's more expensive, but it's worth it, take my word for it, there is a difference. Phuket is a resort of Thailand (Pataya is a coastal city), Karon is one of the best beaches on the island - a beach with "singing" sand.

You can, of course, go to Pattaya - it's cheaper, but my advice: Phuket, Karon Beach, Centara Hotel - it's more expensive, but it's worth it, take my word for it, there is a difference. Phuket is a resort of Thailand (Pataya is a coastal city), Karon is one of the best beaches on the island - a beach with "singing" sand. The sand really makes characteristic whistling sounds when walking. Centara is the best hotel in Karon, let's decipher it:
1. There is no road between the hotel and the sea. The fact is that all the beaches in Thailand belong to the king, i. e. they are public, and between the beach and the hotel, as a rule, there is a road (I mean the first line, it’s not worth talking about the second). The hotel stands apart, but 10-15 minutes on foot and you are in the city where you can inexpensively: eat, massage, souvenirs, shops, rentals, book a tour, etc. For comparison, the hotel le Meredin, also a five, there is also no road between the hotel and the sea, but only by tuk-tuk to the city, and this is at least 200 rubles. in one direction (this is not Pattaya for you, here are tuki greyhounds).
2. All rooms have a sea view (there are simply no others). The rooms are large: from 52 square meters to 73 square meters, there are also villas of 150 and 220 squares, everything is new, everything works. We lived in a SPA deluxe room: a huge bed, a jacuzzi on the balcony, a cascading shower in the room, central air conditioning or a fan, turn on whatever you want, again on the balcony there is another fan and two full-fledged (not plastic) sun loungers (or are these chairs ), a huge plasma, well, and all sorts of little things, such as bathrobes, slippers, safe, umbrella, minibar, washing bottles, shaving stuff, combs, hair dryer, darning kit, etc. etc.
3. The service in the rooms is impeccable: fruits were brought every day, sometimes some were repeated, but the combination is always different, free water 1l (2 bottles) per person in the morning (well, or in the afternoon) the room will be cleaned, the bed will be made, they will put fruit, in the evening they will come and spread the bed on a pillow two they put flowers, they throw out the garbage, they try not to catch the eye, they give money in their hands - they take it, but they are embarrassed as if they stole it and they were caught at the same time, they gave it a little - 5-6 times for about 50-70 baht. Once we forgot to turn off the "do not disturb" button, of course the room was not cleaned, but in the evening we slipped a letter of apology under the door.
4. We didn’t eat at the hotel restaurants - we went to the city, as for breakfast - super. There was local, European and Japanese cuisine, I would say each in full, of course, not all possible dishes, but "first, second, salad and compote" from each set.
5. The territory is simply amazing: a large pool on the sides of 2 pcs. jacuzzi + bar in the pool, the lagoon pool is not deep, but has many creeks in which various "bubble bulbulators" and "jet-water massagers" are installed, a children's pool with a small slide and two fountains (children are already squeaking), an artificial river with a current and two waterfalls (you swim right under them) + two water slides and a special rock for divers. I recommend swimming along the river on special large inflatable circles, they lie nearby (on the shore), in one place there is another small water slide that you can slide down while sitting on a circle, just super. In short, lose half a day, no problem, and no water parks are needed. The territory is very large and green, there are many paths, bridges, etc. , there are secluded gazebos, and in the evening lights flare up in huge bowls scattered around the hotel - very impressive. On the roof of one of the buildings there is a tennis court.
6. The sea is definitely clean, we swam almost every day, the water is clear and the color is beautiful, especially when it's sunny. The beach is cleaned daily, although it is state-owned and the hotel may not do this. I saw the pipe, but nothing bad comes out of it, I also saw the river and there is a lake nearby, we went past every day to eat in the city, the frogs yell great, just elephants, not frogs, but dirt, stink, etc. nowhere, fear has the eyes of a hoo and we scare others. If anyone is very squeamish, then go to Europe, they licked everything there a long time ago, by the way, they will bury such a pipe deeper so that it is not visible, but they will shit there and the same amount, but in Asia everything is honest, because here a person accepts everything calmly without irritation, and his soul rests, and if you look for jambs, then your soul will not rest.
I will add that the hotel takes a considerable deposit of about 500 dollars, but we bargained for 300, we thought the minibar would be taken away or the phone would be cut off - nothing like that happened.
In addition, we took two excursions: riding elephants and bamboo rafts, a trip to James Bond Island, a trip to a transvestite show, diving, SPA (my wife went for half a day), a sightseeing tour of the island.
If I lied, I'm sorry; if I forgot something, please clarify. Of course, rest is not only a hotel, and my wife and I started traveling not so long ago, but it so happened that we lived only in fives and this one is very good.
