Feedback about Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi is known for its scenic location and island feel, accessible by a private boat, with a mountain backdrop. Guests often enjoy the spacious rooms, some of which feel like suites and come with big balconies. The breakfast buffet is extensive, and though some guests have noted signs of wear and tear needing maintenance, the location near the private beach and the option to take tours to Phi Phi directly from the resort's private pier are highlights.

The room i booked was supposed to be a luxurious escape. Instead, it felt outdated. the bathroom fixtures were visibly worn, and the shower had inconsistent water pressure, annoying. the television was old and offered very few channels. plus, the promised 'ocean view' was partially blocked by trees. it was not the relaxing experience i had hoped for. the room was dated, inconsistent shower
