I needed a very quiet break with a beautiful beach and pools to relax in - and Centara Villas was the perfect choice. From the moment I was picked up at the airport by the shuttle, to checking in in the beautiful lobby with a cool drink, to checking out and getting a hug from one of the lovely front desk staff, Centara delivered exceptional service, luxury and beauty everywhere. My first villa had a private pool but two twin beds, not a king. The front desk offered a different villa with a pool and a king bed on my second night, and it was even more beautiful than the first with a view of the ocean from the pool. The spa was beautiful and traditional, with gracious staff who gave me my first Thai massage. It was truly a unique and very relaxing experience. The food was very good and the restaurant was so beautiful, next to the ocean. The staff could be slow at the restaurant sometimes, but whenever I asked for something it was taken care of quickly.
The lush surroundings of tropical plants and birds as you walk through the village of villas was so enjoyable. And it was so quiet!
One warning though - this hotel has A LOT of stairs, sometimes with no railings. I counted 183 steps from my room to the lobby. If you have mobility or health issues that make stairs difficult, I recommend another resort.
