This hotel looks amazing on paper but was a real let down on arrival. You are told to sit down in the lobby and a member of staff comes over to you and asks for your credit card and passports (really you're not supposed to let your credit card out of your sight but we did as asked). We were... more

My partner and I are in our 30's. We spent 7 nights at the Centara Koh Samui in August this year and had a wonderful time. We travel quite a bit and were very impressed with the level of service offered by management & staff during our stay. The resort is in a great location, just on the outer skirts... more

The all important 'Welcome to the hotel' and first interactions with the staff was dissapointing for a place of this standard. The hotel is set in fantastic grounds, has good facilities and generally it provided a good stay but they really need to improve on their first impressions caused by the staff. As we arrived at the hotel we were... more

I read a review on this page about Centara which didn't speak too highly of it. I will give you my own assessment of it having just come back from honeymoon from there earlier this week. We had originally booked another hotel just outside of Lamai which we didn't like and spent a day looking at other hotel options before... more

Weak points: 1/ Rooms are torn off ( floor damaged, bathroom piping leaking, taps jammed, furnitures) and poorly designed (too small , sad decoration which is scarce in... more

Centara Beach Resort Ko Samui This has got to be one of the worst places I have ever stayed – I am astonished by the photos that are online by the hotel none of it looked like this and the 4 stars people have posted makes me wonder if I was in the wrong hotel. This place is slightly better... more

We stopped at the Centara mid July in a room that gave us access to the 'Club'. Thought that this was a great bonus giving the family access to morning continental breakfast, lunchtime sandwiches and soup, afternoon tea and evening cocktails and canapes from 5pm - 7pm. The hotel has a fantastic position on the beach possibly the best of... more

stayed for 5 great nights at this grande hotel with two kids both below 2 years. they provided us with a baby cot which too was grand and comfortable as the baby slept peacefully in it. the hotel is huge and had many visitors at that time yet it never felt like we were living in a swarmed environment. pool... more

First time in Koh Samui enjoyed the island better than Phuket which my wife and I have visited twice before. Hotel is at South endof beach and is quieter which we prefered. The sea is so warm and shallow which is totally safe for children. We had a room on the first floor and expected to get a sea view... more
