Room 7.0 / 10 Breakfast probably the best we have ever had anywhere. Evening meals certainly not exceptional. Preferred to eat in town. Senior staff do not engage when legitimate complaint made and never mind an apology never even got an explanation! Not a hotel we would return to although the second trip was good the room was falling apart. Ao Nanag is so over commercialised it has lost its quaintness since our first visit in 2010. Centara seem to have a policy of ignoring any legitimate complaints and waiting for guests to leave rather than any form of confrontation. As returning guests we received no acknowledgement whatsoever. Would recommend paying for club access @£20pppn. Drinks, nibbles and hors oeuvres, cleaning and room wifi.

Room 8.0 / 10 Thai people are forgetful - don't be surprised if you need to prompt more than once for a menu, a drink, your order, or correcting the bill...Our toilet did not work every other day - we alerted them the first time and it took 7 hours for anyone to respond (as they obviously forgot after each of the 4 phonecalls we made) so after that we just used the toilet as is with the hand shower! BUT! There was a beautiful wet room with fantastic shower and enormous bath - filled with flowers and petals, as well as our bed with hearts of petals...great air-con, lovely view over the balcony, though not quite private from passer-by on the path below. DELICIOUS sea-food, and spoilt for choice with 4 different restaurants, never actually ate out once, except for a pancake - avoid those, not the same as home ;) SO GLAMOUROUS - arriving by boat, and having a private beach secluded by the amazing rock face, and view of Poda island...and such reasonable prices to visit other islands, snorkel etc....

Room 9.0 / 10 A wonderful hotel, I can't say enough good things about it. The staff are trained to a five star level and are very friendly. The Food and Beverage Director, Jan, actually remembered us by name for our entire trip. The hotel is very secluded from the rest of Ao Nang and Krabi and although it was at 96% occupancy when we where there, it never felt too busy. What a wonderful place, would definitely return.

Room 9.0 / 10 The Centara in Krabi is a beautiful Hotel on a nice white sandy beach but it is a little secluded, however we did enjoy walking through the Monkey Trail to get to Ao Nang every day which took about 15 minutes. Loved the town and eat out in some good fish restaurents at the opposite end of the Pier. Recommend the Speed Boat trip to Phi Phi Island for a chsnge of scenery.

Room 9.0 / 10 Hotel was very nice and great for privacy with its own private beach. Downsides were difficulties in reaching the main town by boat or a trek across a Monkey Trail as well as cost of food in the hotel compared to normal Thailand prices

Dear Clarissa Many thanks for your "welcome home" messages. I have been meaning to let you know about our holiday ever since our return. We had a lovely 2 weeks, full board at the above resort. Many thanks for requesting our room on the top floor - we had a lovely sized room and an excellent view (as you can see from the attached pictures). In fact we had a larger room than many of the other Kuoni guests. We have also attached an evening view of the sun going down on the beach at the back of the hotel - I am sure you will remember it, having been there yourself. The food and and service in the hotel was excellent and staff were so friendly - it was difficult knowing who to tip when we left at the end of our holiday. We had quite a good look round the area, travelling by local bus into Krabi Town and taking several trips. Although there were surprisingly not that many British Tourists about, all the "places to visit" were packed solid with tourists from other countries. Many thanks for your recommendation - it was just as we wanted. If you require any other feed back from us, please do not hesitate to contact us. Many thanks once again. Kind regards.

Room 7.0 / 10 Were not told about the need for the boat service which proved expensive as the free shuttle was not frequent and had to get taxi back to main resort The food in the hotel is VERY expensive especially given that the hotel itself is land locked Staying out late at night meant that you can not get back to the hotel easily unless you paid 700 bht for a chartered long tail boat or walked the monkey trail which you could not do if raining as risk of snakes too much THe hotel was wonderful but these aspects mean you were limited with when you go out and the cost really mounted up

Room 8.0 / 10 Service mostly excellent but let down by staff in the On the Rocks bar. We had to speak to the management about this and it did improve slightly. Otherwise, we found the resort extremely good, loved the quiet beach and could not fault the food in anyway.
