Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket
Centara Grand Beach Resort is located at 683 Patak Road, Karon, Phuket, in a very convenient location. The hotel is next to Karon Beach, just a few minutes' walk from the beach, and not far from the city center, about a ten-minute taxi ride, which is very convenient.
The first impression of the hotel is that it has a strong holiday vibe, and the warm welcome makes you feel very comfortable. The hotel has its own private beach, many entertainment activities, and a huge swimming pool. The overall style is a mix of Southeast Asian and minimalist styles, with a lot of plant decorations, which immediately puts you in holiday mode.
I stayed in a room with a large bed, but due to the peak season, the original large bed was changed to two single beds put together 😅 The room was a bit damp, and the quilt was wet at night. However, the room was clean and spacious, with complete facilities, especially the sea view bathtub on the balcony, which was simply amazing. In addition, the Wi-Fi covers the entire hotel and the internet speed is very fast, which is a great benefit.
There are many interesting restaurants around the hotel. For example, MINT Bar & Restaurant, the highly rated Thai restaurant Highway Curry, and Cappadocia Turkish Restaurant, etc., with a wide variety of options. In addition, there is a reasonably priced massage shop near the hotel, just a two-minute walk away, which is perfect for a relaxing massage after a long day.
Of course, the hotel also has some shortcomings. For example, the rooms are a bit old, and some facilities are slightly outdated. The pool is large, but it can be a bit crowded when there are many people. Also, sometimes towels are not replenished in time, which needs to be improved. Equipment maintenance and handling of emergencies seem to need to be strengthened. But overall, the service and location of Centara Grand Beach Resort are very good, suitable for family vacations. Especially with the private beach, the holiday atmosphere is greatly enhanced 👙
In summary, although Centara Grand Beach Resort has some minor issues, the overall experience is still very good. If you are looking for a holiday destination in Phuket, you might want to consider this place~
