Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi offers spacious rooms, some feeling like suites, with comfortable and private balconies. Many guests appreciate the convenient boat service directly to the hotel, avoiding the need to walk on the sand, plus its quieter beach location away from Ao Nang's hustle. Though the breakfast buffet provides a wide selection, some found the other dining options to be just average.

Fantastic Hotel with Really good Service!

breakfast choice spacious suite beach exclusivity
The breakfast buffet offered many choices. It would cater to everyone's taste. The rooms are spacious suites with big, private balconies. The steep hill provides some exclusivity to the beach, which feels almost private! I loved the boat ride, it was something different.
The hotel is somewhat secluded. This makes getting around a bit difficult. the restaurant prices seemed quite high compared to the local prices. I believe that the hotel should consider lowering restaurant prices. A better access to the city will be welcome.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Existed

Breakfast was satisfactory though it leaned towards Indian dishes.
Staff training is needed as new, non-Thai staff were noticeable. They seemed less experienced and unfamiliar with English. Differentiation from experienced staff is important.
