Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa

Krabi, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

Reserving itself a relatively peaceful pitch along the otherwise popular postcard-perfect Ao Nang Beach, this sea-facing sanctuary gives you the best of both worlds — seaside seclusion and all the life and fun of Krabi. This brand new beachfront hotel is ideal for those wanting to lounge by the large free-form pool or beachfront terrace during the day and take a short stroll down to Krabi’s local restaurants and bars for the evening. It also comes with all the benefits of being a new hotel on the block, including bright contemporary décor, the latest in-room mod cons, and long-favoured luxuries like Thai-inspired treatments at Spa Cenvaree.

Very nice location at the end of the beach promenade and clean and spacious rooms, but above all the kids club with Nana and her colleague is wonderful. We spend four days here and enjoyed all the facilities, the toerist vibe at the Ao Nang promenade and the somewhat more quiet athmosphere at the hotel.

A very upscale resort and I would like to thank Ms. Nee for her interest and cooperation with me in health conditions, as she moved quickly and communicated with the other party and cared about the matter very much and promised me that she would finish the matter within the day and her morals are very high and she has a sophisticated way of dealing with the customer. She is really a successful manager and I wish her success and I will repeat my visit to this upscale resort and all its facilities are beautiful from the pool to the services to the cleanliness and my rating for it is 10 Read less

We visited as a family of 3 in Aug and had a fantastic 3 night stay with them. Great hospitality and beautiful location made our trip memorable. Few things we really appreciated were early check in, nice rooms, vegetarian food options in breakfast, pool and children play area, live music in evenings to unwind.

Currently staying in room 5308 until Saturday Eve. This is a very nice hotel right on the end of the beach in Ao-Nang, just a couple minutes walk to tons of shops, bars and restaurants. Glad we are here and not in the Centara Grand on the next beach which is isolated.Check in here was effortless, warm greetings from the staff even tho it was very late. My wife requested an iron which was delivered to the room in a matter of seconds, great service!Our room is very well maintained and kept spotlessly clean by the housekeeping staff who are so friendly.Great beach restaurant next to the hotel called the last fisherman's cafe to try ! We don't fly home until very late so did ask if I could extend the room and pay for a late check out, told to return the day before we leave to ask again which is a little frustrating if honest as we like to plan ahead.The check out is my only gripe, everything else is great Read less
