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.

I left a Google review yesterday about the spa and wonderful facial massage..... and now I'd like to add on by saying all the hotel staff work really hard, front of house and behind the scenes, and made this 6 day stay a perfect end to my 2 month trip away, and the best hotel I've stayed at. A special thank you to Marina who was v friendly and helpful, advised on best food choices and taught me some Thai, and also to Men, his morning yoga sessions overlooking the beach were a perfect start to the day. A really lovely hotel to stay at. Thank you. Jo Read less

Booked a last minute trip the day before and got a reasonable room and price. Brought my family to Krabi for an impromptu detour after staying in Phetchabun, Bangkok and Phang Nga. So far not much disappointment except for some staff that are quite lost.

The rooms were clean, very modern. I was quite upset that the pool on the front of the resort on the beach was open to the public, it was very hard to get a sunbed for hotel guests. The pool inside the resort was big and clean. The breakfast was terrible. The staff were very rude and did not want to be there. All tables were dirty. No covers over… Read more
The rooms were clean, very modern. I was quite upset that the pool on the front of the resort on the beach was open to the public, it was very hard to get a sunbed for hotel guests. The pool inside the resort was big and clean. The breakfast was terrible. The staff were very rude and did not want to be there. All tables were dirty. No covers over food lots of flies. We had to keep trying to find cutlery etc. The beach bar was awful, every time we had to wait at least 20 minutes to get served. There were often dirty tables. Again it felt like staff couldn’t be bothered. The hotel is very noisy, everyone walking through the corridors at night time were very loud. When we arrived we were made to pay a deposit, we were not aware of this before our arrival, normally we give them a card on check in but they requested 300 baht as a deposit also. This is not a 5 star hotel more like a 3 star hotel, the pictures shown and on social media do not show the true hotel. Would not recommend and would not return. Read less

Your are also getting a perfect location staying at this hotel: There is a nice restaurant vis a vis the hotel called the Last Fisherman, a lots of massage places, restaurants, shopping and nice trails at the beach - we went for a hike over to centara grand beach that was indeed a nice hike before breakfast. We will definitely come back to this hotel again :-) Read less

The bar worker and her friend gave bad service at all, they let me go in the rain to get mayonnaise from the other bar and even after that they laughed about it. It is very disappointing that this is the service, every year I stay in your hotels in Sentra and from here I also continue to Sentra in Kosmoi, I have never experienced such service in… Read more
