We had an amazing stay at Centara Grand in Krabi! The resort was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking scenery that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the most unique aspects was that it’s only accessible by boat, which gave it an exclusive and secluded feel—perfect for a peaceful escape. We stayed in an oceanfront villa, and it was fabulous! The room was spacious and well-appointed, and we especially loved the private plunge pool. A special touch that meant a lot to us was the lovely honeymoon decoration they left for us—such a thoughtful gesture! While our overall experience was fantastic, there were a couple of minor inconveniences. We requested someone to check our mini fridge a few times, and though we were told someone would come, no one ever did. Additionally, the restaurant service was a bit slow—we often had to flag down the waitress to get our tab, as we weren’t checked on regularly. That said, the beauty of the resort, the exclusivity, and the luxurious accommodations far outweighed these small issues. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning and tranquil getaway in Thailand!

Room was filthy on arrival- years of neglect and not being maintained properly. Had to ask for sheets to be changed and as deep clean (which was minimal). Towels and drinks not replenished daily, despite being in a club room. Not enough staff in restaurants. Breakfast- limited choice, food not labelled, cross contamination of serving utensils. The hotel changed the tone of our outward boat shuttle without telling us causing issues with our flight. Staff seem unhappy and service is below par compared to usual Thai hospitality. Would not stay here again

Las fotos no son la realidad… la comida es muy cara. Comunicarse con el personal es complicado. El transporte es un tema, no nos recogieron en el aeropuerto por más de que avisamos y apartamos uno. Si tienes alguna enmergencia médica por la noche será un problema ya que tendrás que caminar tú mismo por un sendero durante media hora para ser atendido en una farmacia. El hotel brinda 0 ayuda con medicamentos, no hay doctor… el hotel está viejo… la comida si es muy buena pero muy cara…

Great stay but I don’t know if I’d return

Breathtaking views, nice pool. Some deferred maintenance and upgrades (bathrooms need new mirrors and sinks). Our ceiling fan was so loud we couldn’t use it the first night but was replaced when we complained to the front desk. Staff was very friendly but claim your spot at the pool early if you want shade and/or an umbrella. The Thai restaurant had excellent meals, particularly the fish in sweet chili sauce. Breakfast was good but very chaotic.

This property was probably beautiful when it first opened but it is now run-down & needs maintenance. The location is stunning, as it's set within a national park. There are monkeys around, so beware! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The lounge access was well worth the upgrade as the afternoon tea and evening cocktail hour had a nice selection of items. Breakfast was just average for us but there is a lot of options to chose from.

Really enjoyable stay

Lovely hotel. The staff went above and beyond for me and my partner who were celebrating our anniversary. I couldn’t fault them. Ao nang beach area is extremely busy and this hotel was great for escaping that. I’d say the only negative was the monkey trail especially if you have reduced mobility. It’s very steep and there’s lot of steps. They do provide a boat transfer however it’s only at certain times and they do prioritise those people checking in and out. Would stay again.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Super friendly staff, but the room and location (view) was off the charts! Pictures can’t explain the beauty here. You also get monkeys (spectacled langurs), one outside our room and 4 in a palm tree next to us during breakfast this morning! We also got elephants made out of towels and flowers when we came back from Phi Phi Island! I love this place!

HORRIBLE!! STAY AWAY!! This is at best a 3-star. Worst experience. Please don't get scammed by theproperty pictures on the website. We arrived at 3 30 pm from Phuket expecting the room to be ready. The usual checkin time is 3 pm. We were unable to get a room till 5 20 pm. The staff was very confused and were giving me conflicting reasons for the delay, one said the room wasn't clean and it's getting ready, the other said there's been a mixup. Overall, the lobby didn't have any AC and we were left sweating at 90F. To top it off, we ordered food and drinks at the beach restaurant and the waiter forgot to send the order back to the kitchen and we were waiting for our food for one hour. Then, after followup from my end, they realized this and the waiter who messed it up was giving us wierd reasons like the chef couldn't understand his language etc. Overall, this was a horrible experience for us.

A picturesque piece of Ao Nang way past it's prime. The highlight of this property definitely has to be the views and where the property is located. It is truly breathtaking. Unfortunately, the property was probably incredible in it's prime, but that time is long gone. Our room was old and not maintained well. Parts of the room were falling apart and in bad condition, shoddy workmanship was done to repair some issues, and the AC made an annoying drone that made it difficult to sleep. The pool, although large and with a slide, was dirty with algae and the plastic beach chairs were on the brink of breaking. The food is unimpressive at the Coast restaurant and the breakfast buffet. But, one of the biggest disappointments was the Chinese and Japanese buffet that we had to pay 1,900 bhat each for. Truly a waste of money. They had a raw bar, which didn't match the theme at all and I'm sure took most of the budget. The choices of japanese and Chinese food were very limited and not impressive at all. We left the buffet very disappointed. The Thai restaurant was not bad and we didn't dine at the Japanese restaurant. We received massages at the spa that we really enjoyed. Another issue with the property is that to leave the property you either had to walk the monkey trail, which is a bit of a trek (forget it if you're in heels) or you had to take a boat to the pier and get transportation from there; not convenient at all. Overall, I would not recommend staying at the Centara Grand.
