The hotel sees really great from the outside from, also the entrance area. The outside area is clean and tidy. There are many palm trees and other nice plants, several ponds, which partly on rocks traversed
Unfortunately the rooms are totally out of date and had to be urgently renovated.
What quite annoying was, the restaurants could be visited or buffets verlgegt were, because private events on the grounds were. You got on the same day is usually a short message to the room. Very often was married at the beach or in a landscaped open houses on the grounds. ...
There were a lot of russians there, otherwise all kinds of different nationalities. From the ages it at the beginning of 20 until maybe 75 everything.
There was also a computer at which one into internet free of charge to be could. read more

Perhaps definitely not 5 stars from quite okay.
In spite of the size (approximately 200 rooms) quiet and not crowded, very spacious large area.
Basically everything clean and tidy, if you lack to find wants, then one finds of course which.
Wi-fi in the lobby free
International, the guests were rather older. read more

Centara grand is located in a quiet section of the beautiful Chaweng Beach in a large, well-kept garden. It has approximately 200 rooms and suites. The two rooms, which we saw, were in a good state. The offer at the breakfast buffet was large and the quality was good. There were tourists from many countries in every age category present. read more

Over 200 rooms, all getting very old and in all areas in need of renovation.
Cleanliness is ok still acceptable but no more 'klassengemäß'.
Wi-fi is in the room, if you don't club guest is, be paid separately. A bad treppenwitz!
Guests-old is, in my judgment, mostly 50 +.
Structure:
Mixed clientele, russian may be an advantage! read more

We thanks to the previous descriptions with some expected, but that the rooms in such a bad condition, not. We are against midnight arrived and our 'premium deluxe room' bed linen. It was terrible. Our room was in the building 6. the beds were nonuniformly pushed together. You could from the a into bed to enter. Only a bedside table. A defective electrical outlets/switch location on the bed. We had to pears from the lamps turn, since otherwise a krichstrom on the switch was. A connecting door to the room next door.
In the bathroom was dripping water from the ... ceiling, mold everywhere in the ancient bathroom. A not closing sliding door to the balcony, through the wind loud pfeifgeräusche prodozierte.
We have the next morning another clean room in building 8 changed.
The baths are but everywhere worn and partly ekelig. The doors are not sealed vanes.
The bed linen, the bathrobes and also the mattresses were with covered in stains. The upholstery on the furniture on the balcony was completely moldy.
According to the guide are all rooms same size (except for the suites). Why different preisige room? All rooms have a sea view.
The outside area of the hotel is beautiful and with the best, the we on the island seen. Pool, pool chairs and beach were very well-kept.
The breakfast was okay. However, we have butter seen, the partly 2 years butter was expired. After our complaint was away vacated. Dived but on the next day in 2. breakfast area again.
Trips are worthwhile themselves to the in the angthon marine park is not.
Prices in the hotel way too expensive, since the prices still 17% taxes.
Thaibüfett circa 20 Euro, 1 bottle of beer circa 4 Euro.
Guest mixture was okay.
It is a pity that the rooms have not been renovated. For this hotel:

This room for 5 star to offer was really an isolence ( and we had already a better room booked), before the seaside holiday, we have a large below average made, in none of these middle class hotels we had a dirty bathroom, such old, dirty and vergrauten towels or vergraute and dirty sheets, the maid service was
Nice and friendly, the can for the conditions in the rooms nothing, even the ants in our room had it alone 'combat', we had the 'club' booked, since we were with the food always very friendly and accommodating served - in comparison ... to bored staff at the reception and in the restaurants, in this hotel deserve just the prices 5 stars read more

We spend beginning february for two weeks this hotel our vacation. Because of the poor previous reviews, we would like to provide our stay at centara comment. We can this not so confirm. It is true the this hotel a bit dated and in some respects, must be revised. The hotel was very good visited, seemed but never felt crowded. Enough chairs by the pool available. Guest structure was international. The currents (see previous review) we can so confirm. The sea was very rough. But we must clearly comment on. The hotel had for this all precautions or provisions released. ... There was enough staff (5-6 staff) constantly at the beach in use around lebensmütige tourists from the water to get. We could sometimes about so much injustice, and stupidity only shake our heads. It is simply unfähr this the hotel to blame. There were more than enough signs, red flacken and one enters staff. read more

Current

The hotel has already better days had, before some years 'Sofitel-management. ' the general impression was, that small repair work not taken, and not so well maintained seemed. Front desk/concierge upon arrival not present. Part of the staff understands little english and made in comparison to earlier a reserved impression. The garden is as always, very nice generous and spacious. The sunbathing area -/ pool area around is now on the bar, themselves to order. Sleep was noisy singing guests disturbed. The staff at the hotel has quickly remedied. Urlauberstruktur accordingly too many russian. Also english, scandinavian and german guests ... available.
But then passed things, you cannot ignore. On the first day there were number of cries for help from the sea. There would be almost a woman drowned. No help from the hotel staff in sight. We later learned, that one day before because of the strong current already two persons drowned were. On the final day is unfortunately a person, the later at the beach lag, drowned. There is at the beach a sign, that the current warns. Apart from that there is obviously not trained hotel-staff, the bathers to help can. You get the impression, that the accidents dead silence or ignoring them?! A woman meant ironically' the seem to believe, that tourist ja grow again. ' the current is certainly the time january/february very dangerous, since also a strong wind. Reluctant to complain we to. But this time we feel ourselves simply to a instruction at other tourist committed. read more

Our trip took us this year over Bangkok after Ko Samui to the many good rated Grand centara on Chaweng Beach. The location is OK. Directly by the hotel entrance the shops, bars and restaurants. Opposite are 3 nice young boys from Burma, the scooter rent. The hotel is in the entrance area and in the garden very clean, however you get the first shock, when the old ones shabby room enters. The wooden floor was scratched, the furniture relatively old and badly cleaned. On the 2. day our room to emphasis then generalgereinigt. The bathroom is with ancient tiles ... from the 80. And abgespiltertem washbasin. Sometimes smelled it strongly after the sewage, this could not be eliminated. The beach is very beautiful - chairs and umbrellas ( also ageing) are available.
In short: the hotel does not, which the catalog promises and give not 5 star-large plus point is the friendliness of all of the staff - however this is for a five star hotel too few - we can, from the above mentioned reasons, this hotel unfortunately not recommend. read more

We spend our honeymoon here, before Dubai and Bangkok our last stay.
However the disappointing, on arrival wrong room because overbooking get after a few hours arguments but the right to get.
However one sees in the whole hotel that it getting very old is.
Breakfast was good and sufficient however theme nights in the comparison from outside very upscale we would definitely not recommend.
Beach section very nice also the staff attempted always their best, however even with the pool suite dated bathroom, rock hard mattress, sandy pool, partly shabby furniture.
Standard room we have also seen, this but ... we definitely not changed.
In comparison to other hotels I would this not book again no five stars standard. Will supposedly in October renovated.
Recommendable is the zicos -brazilian restaurant very good quality read more
