Amazing Spa Experience

During my stay, I experienced the spa which was simply fantastic. I booked a treatment and was blown away by the quality. The staff are well-trained and the atmosphere is serene, making it the perfect escape. I highly recommend requesting the therapist named Eye for an really good massage! Overall, this was a highlight of my trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better spa experience.

Delicious Dining Options

I enjoyed my meals at the various restaurants within the resort. Each offered a unique dining experience, and the food quality was very high. The beachside restaurant was my favorite spot to unwind while enjoying a stunning sunset with my meal. There was a daily happy hour that made it even more enjoyable to try out different beverages at a reasonable price. The variety of cuisines really catered to every palate, and I couldn't have been more pleased with my dining choices throughout my stay.

Family-Friendly Facilities

Traveling with kids can be challenging, but the resort made it easy. The pool area was fantastic, complete with a water slide that my children absolutely loved. They also enjoyed the kids' club where they could engage in various activities. It was reassuring to see my kids entertained while I relaxed by the poolside, knowing they were in a safe and enjoyable environment.

I had a lovely stay at this resort, surrounded by stunning views and set in a tranquil location. The spacious rooms were very comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed the large balconies. However, the high prices for food and drinks on-site were quite disappointing, encouraging me to seek alternatives outside the resort. While the beach offered a peaceful atmosphere, the resort's remoteness made getting into town a bit of a hassle.

The Centara Grand Beach is a true sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. My room was ample and offered stunning ocean views, but the service left much to be desired as it felt lacking at times. The breakfast spread was a highlight and much appreciated, and while the location is idyllic, reaching the hotel can be a bit of an adventure. Overall, it delivers an unforgettable experience with some areas needing improvement.

The Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas offers a stunning location and some beautiful views, making it a lovely getaway. The rooms are spacious and clean, with great amenities, but the hotel itself feels a bit outdated in some areas and not all facilities met my expectations. While the dining was decent, it didn't live up to what I'd expect from a resort of this calibre, and the service had its ups and downs during my stay.

We had an unforgettable time at this resort, nestled in a stunning private bay that offered peace and exclusivity. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although our ocean view was more garden than sea. While we loved the adventure of the monkey trail and the beautiful facilities, getting to the mainland required some effort. Overall, it was a lovely getaway, though the limited dining options during peak hours were a drawback.

Rooms

Our club spa deluxe room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring comfortable king bedding. While we didn't have a clear ocean view, we enjoyed observing monkeys climbing overhead, which added a unique charm.

Service

Service was attentive throughout our stay, with well-maintained cleanliness and neat arrangements in our room daily.

The hotel's location in a private cove made it feel isolated and serene. Access to the mainland was by a short boat ride or the monkey trail, which we enjoyed but may not be ideal for everyone.
