We have visited Koh Samui on three previous occasions,staying at the Amari Palm Reef on the two previous visits.Decided to try the Centara Grand for a change as on our last stay at the Amari I felt the standards were slipping especially for the premium rate they charge. On reading other reviews about the Centara referring to it being tired... more

We stayed at the Centara Grand for 7 nights in November. We hadn’t arranged transfers from the airport, so just took a taxi from the desk which was 400 baht and took 10-15 minutes. Much more expensive than other parts of Thailand. The hotel reception is light and airy and the staff were very pleasant upon arrival. We had a... more

Stayed at the Centara Grand for five nights, after having been in Bangkok for five nights, and broadly speaking we thought the hotel was really good. We upgraded to 'the club' status, which didn't cost much extra, and entitled us to a nicer room (although obviously I can't compare) but more significantly to free breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and happy... more

My husband and I stayed here for 10 nights half board for our honeymoon and couldn't have picked a more perfect place. From the private transfer from the airport on arrival, to the superb quality food, welcoming and helpful staff to the 5* room, we couldn't fault anything.

We were sat in reception and brought cool drinks and a refreshing towel which were certainly welcome, given the heat and... more

Well I can only say that we loved the Centara, before arrival I requested a room close to the pools as this was the relaxing part of the holiday and I had read how large the resort was. On arrival we were welcomed with a cold drink and lovely cooling chilled towel which after 22 hours of travel was heaven!... more

We stayed in Centara Grand Beach Resort Samui end of August - beginning of September with friends who have stayed there previously and recommended this hotel and we were impressed from the first minute to the last. The hotel itself is a gem and one of the few were you can trust the beautiful pictures on the web. But what... more
