My new husband and I stayed at the Centara Karon Beah Resort in a 1 bedroom pool Cabana and would definately recommend it to any honeymooner or couple looking for a great place to stay. It was only a 8minute drive from Patong Beach, 3 minute walk to Karon Beach which was beautiful and close to many many restaurants and shopping. It was quiet and peaceful away from the main tourist area of Patong, great if you want to be close to the action but not in it. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the buffet breakfast was fantastic, everything you can imagine to eat. 3 pools to choose from - though reserve a chair early! It had a great Irish restaurant across the road that had great meals and at a good price. Would totally recommend this hotel to anyone.

| "I booked a Superior Room. I guess for the rates I am paying the room is decent. I got a room facing the shops, so the view was not good, in addition to the noise coming from construction at the shops. Main discomfort is that the mattress is too hard, feels as though there's a plank of wood with only some beddings on top. Also, they do not provide bedroom slippers. It would be nice to have a pair to slip into at the end of the day. The water from the taps is yellow in colour and there are lots of ants on the table. Overall ok and value for money, though I would say the exterior certainly looks more impressive than the rooms inside. Breakfast was quite good though. Also, this hotel is located at Karon beach, with less of the bustle compared to Patong. If you want a plca away from the crowds, this is fine. For families, there is a pool just for kids and a kids' room. However, if you want more nightlife, food variety and entertainment, Patong beach would be a better choice. " |

| "I stayed for 10 days late June 08 in low season and got a very good rate, so my experience was real value for money. The hotel is pretty impressive- I had what I assume was the lowest grade room which was still nice, modern, clean, well-equipped and had a sea view. The hotel facilities are excellent, the staff very friendly and attentive. The Cervantes spa is everything a spa should be, and the free jacuzzi is worth a visit. Each of the pool areas are well run by friendly and enthusiastic staff, in particular the Terraces barman Darunee is a gem!
The gym was being refit when I was there so there was a small temporary one, not too big a deal.
My only concerns were
1. the layout of the hotel allows it to get wet inside when raining which makes the floor slippery (I learnt that the hard way).
2. the surrounding area of Karon beach was not the tranquil getaway I was hoping for- however this just meant I spent more time enjoying the hotel facilities, which includes a pretty good variety of bars, restaurants, room service menu etc.The drinks are not cheap compared to some of the surrounding bars, but there are plenty of happy hour offers to soften the blow.
I'd definitely go back for the hotel itself, but maybe not the location, the smaller islands are more my style. " |

| "I had a room with an ocean view. The room was of a good size. The bathroom however was a little small and there was no bathtub...only a shower. The view of the ocean from the room was nice.
The resort is well spaced out and the facilities are adequate. There was a mention that the hotel has a pool table but we did not manage to find it.
There were many shops nearby to cater to the tourists who are staying as there are quite a few hotels nearby. To go to the ocean, its a 5-7minutes walk and we found quite there are hotels along the road which is just next to the beach. Wished I was staying in one of those hotels. However, if you do not want to pay too much, then the Centara hotel/resort is of good value with adequate facilities and close enough to the ocean to enjoy the beach
