A memorable stay in Samui
After 16 years we went back to the Centara Reserve hotel in Samui and found it to be upgraded and refurbished to new and high standards. We enjoyed 9 nights in a lovely room with ocean view. Excellent location at a clean beach area and the garden and pools areas are well maintained. Due to the size of the in and outdoor facilities we didn’t feel that the hotel was over crowded in spite of the hotel was almost fully booked and two outdoor wedding parties on the lawn during the weekend. The serving staff paid a lot of attention to all guests and professionally managed by the F&B director and operations director who took time to talk to us and other guests. The front and concierge staff were very service minded and dealt quickly with any requests. We will certainly come back to the Centara Reserve soon. Tips: book a room with ocean view and in room minibar refilling daily Note: no elevatorsRead moreDate of stay : March 2024 -

Excellent Hotel
A very modern hotel, very friendly and helpful personnel. Situated on the Chaweng beach. The garden is beautiful and very well maintained. The food is good. There are some entertainment shows, but they are pretty small.Read moreDate of stay : March 2024 -

Beautiful Resort on Chaweng Beach
This newly refurbished resort hotel ticks all the boxes. The team are so helpful, the food is wonderful and you feel every possible thing you might require is anticipated. I do not know what star rating is applied to Centara Reserve but in my mind it deserves a full 5StarRead moreDate of stay : March 2024 -

An excellent choice
We have visited several hotels in Koh Samui and this hotel is definitely the one we preferred. The service is excellent (a big thank you to White), the site is open over a large area facing the sea and without stairs, it is very beautiful. Very good restaurants, great variety at breakfast, excellent service at the swimming pool (towels, water, meals, etc.), quality gym. a real nice 5 star.Read moreDate of stay : February 2024 -

Absolutely wonderful resort
The entire resort was incredible, so big and beautiful. The staff were so friendly they would always stop what they were doing to say good morning. The only slight let down I found was that the mattresses were really hard which made for a bit so nice sleep each night, my neck ended up hurting by the end of the trip.Read moreDate of stay : January 2024 -

By far the best hotel at Chaweng Beach
We very much enjoyed our stay at Centara. The check-in process was very smooth thanks to Mr M, we booked Ocean reserve room and requested in advance to make sure it is located in a quiet location, as we travel without the kids and enjoyed the adult pool. All Ocean reserve rooms are located on the top floor and ours was simply perfect! So quiet, and the view from the balcony was a dream! Thank you Mr M! We also would like to specifically thank Mr Korn who managed the adult pool area, he really stands out from the others, so attentive & caring, always ready to offer you cold water and a scented towel, always ready to help get a subbed arranged or umbrella moved! The rooms make-up and turn down services were great and quick, it was very easy to book it using the app. The mini bar was nice and regularly replenished. As for negatives, I genuinely don’t understand why people are praising breakfast. To us it was a big disappointment. Yes, the location is great, service is excellent, a la carte dishes look very pretty & sophisticated, but people, seriously, you can’t it them. European dishes totally miss salt & pepper while Thai dishes are so spicy you can’t eat them. The fruit selection was great, but all eggs dishes are completely off. Mussely bowls were nice though) It was mentioned by other guests and we agree, it’s a shame the hotel doesn’t offer any sunbeds on the beach. There is a great beach area in front, with plenty of natural shadow from the tree, but no sunbeds there. In stead all other tourists, who are not guests of the hotel occupy it with their towels and little kids (right in front of the adult pool area) who start yelling and making all kinds of unpleasant noises. It’s a shame really! Also, the hotel employees were not rushing to clean the beach, although after the sea storm there was a lot of garbage washed ashore, so that some hotel guests went to collect it while the hotel staff only joined later. But the beach was cleaned eventually. Also, the beach towels are pretty old and stained and need to be replaced. Having said that, we do believe that Centara is the best place to stay at Samui and we very much enjoyed our stay, great service, excellent room, very comfy beds & pillows, beautiful grounds, very forthcoming and caring employees, thank you!Read moreDate of stay : January 2024 -

Captivating Centara Reserve Samui
I recently returned from 13 hedonistic days at the Centara Reserve Samu, Thailand. What an incredible stay. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Firstly, the amazing Thai hospitality. I return to Thailand repeatedly and each time the Thai people continue to astonish me with their humility. The warmth and welcoming attitude of the hotel staff is simply unparalleled. They cannot do enough for you and often go above & beyond despite the hotel being at full occupancy over Christmas and New Year. A special thank you to Khun Ann, Khun Suzie and the other young male bartender at the Gin Run, Khun Bow in the restaurant, Khun James at the Pool Bar, Khun Sophie at checkin and Khun Big the Operations Manager. There warmth and kindness contributed to making my vacation a memorable one. The hotel is modern and new. The daily entertainment is lovely and the food high quality. A humble suggestion - please consider adding more South African wines to your wine list. I am counting down the days till I return to the magical Centara Reserve SamuiRead moreDate of stay : December 2023 -

One of the best stays we've ever experienced!
Service, staff, rooms, breakfast, restaurants, pools, location - everything was fantastic. The only minor comment is it would've been nice to have the sun-beds on the beach directly in front of the sea and not have it sort of blocked off by plants and trees. But I know this was also done to keep sellers on the beach away from us. :)Read moreDate of stay : December 2023 -

Wonderful place
I do really love hotel accommodation. Luxury but comfortable rooms, nice places and impressive views (private beach) There are many activities at Kids club. My little daughter likes Kids club. It deserves to take a rest at Centara Reserve Samui. We will come back again.Read moreDate of stay : December 2023 -

Best night ever
This hotel had the best bed we found during our 3 week’s vacation in 7 different hotels. The rooms are big and very well isolated so its very quiet during your stay. It’s obvious that the hotel is nor new as some interior seems very used but its still a great value for the priceRead moreDate of stay : December 2023
