Accommodation and facilities:
This was our fourth stay at the Centara Karon Beach Resort and it seemed to lack the atmosphere of previous visits. May staff have left or been replaced and many of the new lacked customer relations and interest.
Breakfast is buffet and quite adequate however self service for coffee etc and no muesli detracted. The breakfast reception was poor and you often had to wait fairly long while they tried to find a table although it was clear several were vacant. Queuing for eggs very slow.
Happy hours at the pool have changed to 5pm to 7pm (it was 4-6) and lack of people was evident which certainly detracted the atmosphere. Drink prices also appear to have risen.
We had several mistakes with our bill and were key locked out of our room prior to our departure (their error).
Room was adequately maintained. One of the 3 swimming pools was dirtied by someone and it took far to long for the matter to be rectified.
Overall still a good resort however we were disappointed and will probably go elsewhere next time

We have just come back from an 8 day stay at Centara Karon Resort & we have nothing bad to say! We went with 4 adults & 2 children (5 & 1 1/2), we stayed in the Lagoon area. Everything was perfect, the rooms were gorgeous & clean, the staff were gracious, friendly & happy to chat, the grounds & pool areas were one of the best we ve seen. Overall it was one of the most relaxing holidays we ve had as a family. Oh & the food? Delicious.

We had no problem at all booking with Sawadee, even at the last minute I realised I hadn t booked a transfer from the airport to our hotel, with one email to Sawadee it was sorted. Brilliant!

Accommodation and facilities:
Overall Centara was a fab hotel. Great for kids. We used the kids club which was fantastic. Breakfast was nice, big variety though popular food like bacon was only offered every second day. They definately need more umbrellas around the pool as the those seats where taken at 9am. The only thing we didn t like was the fact that the housekeeping didn t leave us water on the 1st day and water and towels on the second day until we phoned reception, from then on everything was provided correctly. Staff are friendly and it is in a good locstion, close to nightlife and beach. Good happy hour for cocktails and also ice cream for the kids which was great. If you wanted to order food though there was no service around the pool, we had to get up and go an order it at the counter. That was diffcult with young kids who didn t want to get out of the pool, cause you can t order and watch swimming children.
Reservation service:
great booking service with e-mails and very fast response via e-mail, good prices, easy to pay, reliable and trust worthy. Would defiantely book again.

Accommodation and facilities:
We had a great 2-week stay. Great hotel if you have kids 3-14 and even older. Laguna has a nice family pool with enough activities to keep you busy. The Laguna rooms are old but large. The bathrooms are getting on a bit and the shower stall is annoying as the water runs onto the bathroom floor.
Near the middle of our stay we were asked to move into another part of the hotel due to renovation work. This was bothersome but we appreciated the hotel staff s willingness to show us around several rooms to help us make our choice when we moved.
The wing we moved to was the Tropix. The room and bathroom are much newer and with better facilities but the room size is dissapointingly smaller than the Laguna s older rooms.
All in all though we weren t dissapointed with our move.
The location is good with nice resaturants and shopping nearby. Angus O Tooles is right outside with good food and live sports. Its a bit of a distance to get the hotel entrance from some of the rooms (especially Tropix).
Overall, a good experience. We will go back.
Reservation service:
Great as always.

Accommodation and facilities:
Hotel location is good, though a bit far from the beach. Gym is well-equipped. There is only 1 point of beach towel collection when there are 3 swimming pools! Hotel needs to improve on this, because it is a turn-off. Music from the nearby bars can be really loud, and late into the night.

Accommodation and facilities:
*Hotel have good view but the reception and in room dinning were very very bad they hardly speak English so you never get what you asked for.. hotel staff only smile at you but they wont give you any service.
*Main issue also is breakfast everyday is the same thing always eggs and eggs only one kind of cheese (cheddar)so the breakfast is very very boring and not creative at all.
* Water is always yellow deep rust yellow.
*Gym is very poor just 2 machines and a trade mil.
*Water in room bar is 5 times more expensive(110 Baht) than outside which is not reasonable.
