Another fabulous stay at this unique Hotel. The Centara never fails to live up to its lofty reputation. They have hands on management and helpful and dedicated staff. We understand that extensive renovations are starting next year one wing at a time. Whilst we realise this is badly needed there is a Massive challenge to ensure the unique character of this Very Special Hotel is maintained. Personally we can’t wait to inspect the finished article late next year when the Garden Wing nears completion. In the meantime we will continue to luxuriate in the existing accommodation. See you all again in November. Can’t wait.

Incredible location, amazing staff and food, we didn't want to leave. We most certainly will be back. We couldn't complain about anything. You have to see this place to belive it. Thank you so much for an incredible experience.
