I had a pleasant stay at the Grand Centara! The room was clean, tidy, and offered a lovely view from the balcony. The service was top-notch, and room service was prompt.
However, there was a slight misstep on the first night when we ordered fish and chips and pizza. Unfortunately, only the fish was warm, while the rest was lukewarm.
On a positive note, the resort's private beach and pool were fantastic!
Overall, I'd recommend this place, but with a slight caveat regarding the room service food temperature. Otherwise, it was a great stay!"

Perfect location for a relaxed vacation. The hotel area is very green and clean. The check-in was easy and we had an earlier check-in. The room we had was in a block 9, it’s near to the beach, garden view room category has also some sea view there.
The breakfast is good and tasty, you can order some special dishes (salmon egg Benedict…) or some drinks. Dinner and drinks at the restaurant/bar are quite expensive. They have Starbucks with a promotion afternoon and happy hour at the bar. There are some pools, also a quiet zone. Some guests could be sometimes noisy but it’s depends on their cultural behaviour. The beach is nice, clean (when it’s windy, not so clean) and directly at the hotel, you have enough space and enough tranquility.
A big recommendation is the hotel spa Cenvaree, they have many treatments and the staff is very professional, you can feel a high quality at the spa! The prices are also great!
The hotel App is user friendly and helps to order something or to chat with reception.
To the City Center you can go by yourself on the beach or drive few minutes with a taxi.
It would be great to have some sun beds at the beach and a water dispenser so u can relief your bottle of water every time.

Beach front luxury resort, calm and peaceful atmosphere. Staffs are friendly and polite in a Thai manner. Conference room is spacious. Although the beach is not that wide compared to other places but it is well taken care of, clean and private. It’s worth the price. Highly recommended to stay at least 2 nights. It is about 1.5 to the airport and there could be traffic on the way especially from 5 p.m. onwards.

This resort has a beautiful beachfront location in Phuket, Thailand. It is great for families with kids of all ages. It is very big so getting to your room can be a bit of a walk depending on location. It is very self-service for things like breakfast buffet and pool towels and lounges. The staff is wonderful and very very helpful! Lounge chairs and sunbeds are not allowed on the beach per local law, so expect to lay by the pool overlooking the beach. It is within walking distance of small shops, restaurants, bars, markets in a highly touristy area. It is also about an hour and a half from the airport, so give yourself time when departing.

I first visited Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket in 2019, and now, returning with my family, I can confidently say that the place remains just as perfect. This resort is one of the very few in Phuket with direct beach access—no roads to cross—which makes it incredibly convenient and safe. Nestled at the end of Karon Beach, it offers a secluded, almost private beach experience, with a stunning cliff on one side and a public beach on the other. The lush greenery surrounding the resort adds to its tropical charm.
A special thanks to the Kids Club staff for taking such great care of our child; their attentiveness and friendliness made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff overall is very welcoming, and the breakfast selection is excellent.
One small change I noticed: rooms used to have slippers, but they are no longer provided, likely due to post-COVID adjustments. Other than that, the resort still maintains its high standards.
Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, family-friendly resort with direct beach access in Phuket.
