Centara Karon Resort

David Ernst

We had an absolute ball staying here. Although we don't normally stay in resorts, there was so much to do here we actually fell in love with the place. Breakfast was awesome with top quality food and a huge array of options. The staff in the resort are super friendly and although the place is a little bit ageing it is immaculately clean. The lazy river was so much fun and my wife and I spent so much time in it. The rooms are huge and clean and very comfortable. Whilst we could not spin on the beach as it was too rough. It was nice to have it there and to walk along it. Best of all, the traffic around the hotel is very light and unlike Bali it is easy to get around. The gym is one of the best gyms I've seen in a hotel anywhere in the world and that is saying something . We have now fallen in love with Thailand and are coming back on a 2-month trip to explore more of the islands.

We had such a great time at this resort. The location is perfect—just a quick walk to the beach and close to lots of great places to eat from. Anything you might need is within walking distance so a car rental wasn't really needed in our case. What really made the trip special was how amazing the staff were with our kid. Nicky was especially fantastic. Very polite, energetic, and great with the little ones. Our son had a fantastic time every time! Excellent place to stay with the family.

A lovely surprise and a wonderful stay. While we were looking for hotels, there were already 3 Centara just in Karon beach but we chose this one because of the room type/pricing that matched what we were looking for. We chose a deluxe family room with enclosed space for bunk beds for our daughters. Perfect room choice without having to book 2 rooms and the girls got their own space. We were there end of July and because it’s not high season it didn’t feel overcrowded and there was always plenty of space around the 2 pools (there’s one more pool but reserved for adults). The staff were sooooo friendly and always made us feel welcomed. We also received massage treatment from the spa and it was worth the money. I am Thai so I have very high standard when it comes to massage treatments and the treatment did certainly meet my expectation. The only complaint I could think of is probably that the hotel doesn’t have beach access. It’s not a far walk about 10 minutes but it’s a walk along a narrow road with no proper sidewalk to the beach. But that’s about it. Again we had a wonderful time during the whole stay!

Well this place has been a pleasant surprise. We came here for a family holiday I didn’t have huge expectations, but it has been fantastic. The location is really good . It’s right on the beach and close enough to walk to the shopping area and have some great massages. The service has been excellent. The breakfast is really good and so is the happy hour. I would highly recommend it for a family and couples. It’s an older crowd .

Stayed 7 nights as a couple. Location is very good with close proximity to beach , shops and transport. Staff were always very friendly, accommodating and went out of their way to assist. Lots of eateries close by. Breakfast was lovely smorgasbord. The new renovations have been excellent and provided a lovely casual relaxed ambience. Only a minor suggestion is to include perhaps fox sports or similar on tv but that is minor. Nice modern gym Excellent stay.
