Fantastic staff

28 Feb 2025
Jomel made our stay incredible. He made me a special welcome drink - a vodka soda with a splash of guava juice and we were so appreciative of his hospitality from the start of our stay to our checkout day. The resort is lovely but the hospitality is what stands out. Thank you, Jomel! : )

Unforgettable and wonderful

30 Apr 2025
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and I truly appreciated the little touches that made our stay special. Highly recommended. The Breakfast was amszing. RV from reception was super profesional. Special thanks to HK, FB and Technical departments.

Excellent stay

31 May 2025
We stayed here for 2 nights. The resort has no car access, and can only be accessed via speedboat which will drop you 100m off the coast for you to walk on the floating platform tackling the wave, which is an adventure I never expected. The beach view villas we stayed in were huge and excellently appointed, the breakfast was expansive, the bar and restaurants were okay. The view from the beachfront is amazing. A special shoutout to RV who was so helpful to make our stay more comfortable.

Disappointing Stay – Lack of Communication and Safety Concerns

31 May 2025
Disappointing Stay – Lack of Communication and Safety Concerns Hotel Condition and Maintenance Issues: The hotel feels run-down and in need of serious maintenance. The doors in the room were squeaky, hard to open, and close, and the layout was confusing with unclear numbering, making it difficult to navigate. Additionally, the lights in the room did not work properly, which added to the inconvenience during my stay. The overall condition of the hotel left me questioning the quality of the facilities. The Monkey Incident and Lack of Communication: The most troubling part of my stay was the monkey incident. When I returned to my room after being out, I found the door wide open. Upon entering, I discovered that a monkey had gotten inside. There was a brief warning in the room about monkeys, but it was not sufficient. The hotel left all the responsibility of understanding the risk to poor signage, without ever mentioning any specific precautions regarding monkeys during check-in or throughout the stay. The caretaker who came to check on the situation mentioned that monkeys could open the sliding doors by themselves, even when locked. This makes me question why guests weren’t more thoroughly informed about this potential danger upfront. What was even more frustrating was the delay in handling the incident. It took almost an hour for anyone to speak with us about what to do next, leaving us in limbo with no clear guidance or sense of urgency. When I accidentally met and spoke with the manager upon checking out, I was initially told the incident would be investigated. Later, I was offered a 50% discount on my one-night stay as compensation. While I appreciate the gesture, it did not even begin to cover the damage caused by the monkey or the distress we experienced. The monkey not only ruined cosmetics and personal items but also caused damage to my laptop, which made the situation even worse. The lack of a timely response, proper communication, and failure to take adequate responsibility for this serious issue was incredibly frustrating. Reception and Communication Failures: Throughout my stay, I had serious trouble contacting reception. Reception calls were never answered, not even when the monkey incident occurred. I had to physically go all the way to the reception myself every time I needed assistance, which added to my frustration. This lack of communication and accessibility made a stressful situation even worse. It felt like the hotel didn’t make any effort to provide timely support or address issues properly. Service and Responsiveness of the Staff: While some staff members were friendly, I found the overall service to be lacking. The response time was slow, and the information was confusing. For example, I was given the wrong directions to a restaurant that’s already closed and moved to another spot.. The hotel’s lack of effort to properly accommodate and address issues was apparent. Renovations and Concerns About Current Operations: The hotel is planning renovations soon, but I question whether they should even be open at this level of operation. With so many maintenance issues and safety concerns, it seems like the hotel is not fully prepared to accommodate guests in a way that ensures their comfort or safety. If the hotel is aware of these ongoing issues, it may be better to close for renovations until it can meet acceptable standards. Conclusion: In conclusion, my stay at this place was disappointing due to poor communication, safety issues, and lack of responsiveness. If the hotel is aware of the monkey problem, it should be communicated properly to guests from the beginning—not left to confusing signs in the room. The response to the incident was slow and unsatisfactory, and the lack of proper customer service was evident throughout. I will not be returning to this hotel and do not recommend it to others.

Vacation paradise in Krabi

30 Apr 2025
Once we had booked we started reading very negative reviews and were really worried. However the experience was GREAT, starting with a stunning location in the midst of the jungle and between the mountains and the see. It is true that it can be only accessed via the shuttle boat (which isn't very convenient) or the Monkey trail which involves steep stairs and having to deal with hungry monkeys but this added to the uniqueness of the Hotel! The trail was one of the highlights of the trip and doable for us (2 adults and one 13 yo kid) even with heavy backpacks. The pool area is great and only some meters away from a paradise-like beach which is almost empty and used mainly by Hotel guests. The Hotel location is also good to take one day trips to the surrounding islands and beaches and therefore a great choice. We also enjoyed the excellent breakfast and service mindset from the hotel staff. It is true the rooms are a little bit runned down and some elements didnt work properly but either you take this hotel at c. 200 USD/night or go a bit cheaper to the not so charming Hotels in AO Nang (that look like mass-tourism blocks) or upgrade yourself to the 1000 USD/night resort in Railey but in our view not worth it as - taken the drawback of a somewhat secluded location - the Centara Grand is a great choice.
