This is from a USA traveler's point of view. Beautiful secluded resort nested in a National park. Think of it like 80's Fantasy Island and or HBO the White Lotus without the 5 star service amenities. You were whisked away in the Centara boat to their resort from the pier. Don't think of free fancy Wynn Boston boat that takes you to Boston harbor or Wynn hotel!! This is just your normal ordinary boat. You were greeted at the dock and individualized check-in. We stayed in an ocean front/ocean view room with an outdoor Jacuzzi. The room is very dated and so so quite disappointed for a 5 star resort. It's unfortunate that it's quite run down. The bath towels have strings hanging because they were worn out, very tattered indeed. It took forever for room service like ice buckets, and house keeping for fresh towels. It seems like they don't have enough towels around for guests and you get warm fresh out of the dryer worn out towels.i opened a door that exposed the crawl space, and FOUND a giant lizard!!! That's about 7 inches, and shut that door never to open it again during our stay. It took us 2 phone calls to the house keeping and 2 phone calls to the room service to get what we wanted. The Thai hospitality is there. They are very very sweet and polite. This is the land of smile. They are very gracious as host. It's just very unfortunate that this resort just doesn't live up to what we expected from a 5 star resort in let's say Hawaii. I have stayed in a 2010 resort in Hawaii and very well kept and maintained. Centara Grand Resort is not one of them. There's a saying, location, location and location. This Centara Grand Resort is that!!!I can't dispute that. The private beach is very nice, and the view is to die for.
At the end of my stay, I'm glad to escape this fantasy Island.
