Our package included a delightful dining experience, with two exceptional restaurants to choose from. The service provided by our waiter, Jiew, was outstanding, and his hospitality was truly commendable. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to visit the resort and interact with Jiew once again.

We'd been to Grand Centara Phuket in June 2024. Our stay was lovely and very comfortable. We even got 1 room upgrade which had a small pool in the room. And the bathroom was huge. The other room was on the top floor with a Jacuzzi on the balcony. And the view of the sea and the mountains on the side which was heavenly. The sound of crashing waves and the chirping of the birds was very refreshing. Breakfast spread was good with a lot of options including Indian food as many guests were Indians. The hotel had 3 swimming pools and a lazy river and a spot for cliff jumping. Which was super fun!! Read less
