We enjoyed the entertainment and the ease of moving from beach to hotel. Also enjoyed the new night market right behind the hotel. Lots of entertainment fun and great food. Kids loved the pool and overall place very clean tidy and organized. Appreciate all the hard working staff and enjoyed our dinner at the beach front bar. Free kids menu was a nice promo!! Finally the ladies who cleaned the room were great our room was spotless and they were lovely

In the USA , this property is comparable to. Fairfield Inn by Marriott. We paid a premium to have Ocean view. The room is basic: hair dryer, fridge, hot pot and tea. The pool on the ocean side is small and has a small bar cafe. The staff were nice. We previously stayed at the Marriott Resort and Spa on Merlin Beach in Phuket. This property is much more basic. When we checked in, the staff member had us download their app. It was a bit flakyy to use.

Buffet breakfast wasn’t the greatest and some items were not refilled, my kids wanted flavoured milk at 7am but it was empty on consecutive days. Room cleaning each day seemed rushed and incomplete (left birthday cake plates and cutlery for 2 days, we had to take it out ourselves). The resort itself is great. The location is fantastic, close to the beach, restaurants and shops. I would come back.

I booked room with pool view and on arrival I got room with sewer view with horrible odor coming out of it. There is no way anyone could open the balcony door not mentioned going to the private pool. Hotel is very noisy very busy. I only eat breakfast there and only fruit because everything else had no taste. The stuff were not helpful. Never going back

The hotel is more like being in Orlando than in Thailand. It has no Thai personality. Very much a family resort, the pool lounges are taken by 9:00 a.m and guests keep them all day, even if they don’t use them for hours at a time. Lots of small children, not always supervised. The room was large and comfortable. Lots of choices at the breakfast buffet but the coffee was some of the worst I ever had at a hotel. There are lots of better choices in Krabi.

Staff are friendly but service standards were a bit patchy and inconsistent. I shared my feedback with the front desk manager, Ms Nee, and she was eager to understand my concerns and do service recovery which I appreciated so despite these hiccups I would rate my stay as overall enjoyable. Location is excellent - once you step out you have access to restaurants and shops. The main shopping street is just a few mins walk away and the surroundings feel very safe as there are many people around. The sister resort Centara Grand is not far away and more posh but also more secluded as it is accessible only by boat so is less convenient, hence the Centara Ao Nang is a good compromise in terms of convenience vs comfort.
