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.

Nestled in a stunning jungle setting, the hotel's location is serene and away from the crowds, though getting there involves either a boat ride or a trek through the monkey trail.

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 The rooms are spacious and clean, with great amenities, but the hotel itself feels a bit outdated in some areas and not all facilities met my expectations.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.

Rooms

I stayed in a Spa Deluxe Ocean Facing room, which was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and a fantastic view from the large balcony. The jacuzzi was a nice touch, but filling it took a while.

The location is quite secluded, accessed only by a boat or through the monkey trail. While this offers tranquility, it made getting out into town a bit of a challenge at times.

The pool area was nice, but the availability of sunbeds was a bit limited, especially during peak hours. I appreciated the beach being just steps away, which was a plus.

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

9.0

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

9.0

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

Location

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.

Dining

7.0

Dining options were decent but felt short-staffed at times, making it a bit challenging to get service quickly during busy hours.

The resort features beautiful pool areas set into the jungle, great for relaxing and having fun with water slides. The spa services were quite luxurious.
