It's in a prime spot, just close enough to the mad bits of Chaweng to be able to walk, but up the nicer end of the beach. It's also on only one side of the road which is nice as so many hotels are...
disappointing

I have to admit, my last stay in Thailand was at a splendid hotel (meridien in phuket).
So, we had high hopes.
Arriving at the hotel is fine, it looks ok from outside, and located right in town,...
Beautiful location

Centara Grand Resort is fantastically located on a beautiful stretch of beach at the quiet end of Chaweng.
Reception area is a delight to the eye (but very open and it can get extremely hot) and...

Ok after a small hiccup with the airport pick up (they didn't turn up) it was as much as my two previous visits to this hotel. The hiccup was taken care of with a room upgrade and free return to the...

Both my partner (32) and I (30) loved this hotel. The best part is having breakfast on the terrace right next to the beach every morning. Very picturesque. The selection and quality of food is also...
Lovely

Centara Hotel is set in its own extensive grounds. Even tho you are located on the busy street of Chaweng beach, your grounds are very peaceful and idilic. We stayed on a b&b setup. The breakfast was...
Grand hotel, great location but everything very pricey
Date: 2009-12-29
First of all the hotel airport transfer is not cheap. We had already visited Bangkok and Chiang Mai the week before which is why we probably noticed the huge difference. In comparison, a 10 minute...

One of the best hotels on Koh Samui?

I have stayed at Centara twice and both times had a great time. This visit we upgraded to the plunge pool suite and although it was very nice I do not think it was worth the extra money.
The thing...
Very Good Stay

We stayed for 2 nights in August. Even the hotel was full, service was excellent. Beach area is very long, so you can always get a place to lay down. Beach was very clean and weather quite good....

We went back to the Centara Grand and loved it - we previously went in 2005 before it was taken over - although i dont think they have changed anything they have just updated decor etc.
Main areas in...
Nice grounds but badly designed room and a bit impersonal

The room was...

Great value for money

Let's say briefly that Centara Grand Beach was a top place and included incredible garden and swimming pool area. Hotel staff was second to none.
I booked 8 nights via their internet site for...
