Luxurious family-oriented resort with its own water park
A few quiet blocks from Karon Beach, with 262 guest rooms, the Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket is one of the most complete resorts on Phuket. It has four swimming pools incorporated into a real water park at its heart, and a large sports center with tennis courts among many other choices. Not all activities are included in the room price, but still this hotel offers very good value for active families.
The rooms range from large to extremely large, with the highest classes having private pools. There are 6 restaurants, lounges, and bars, and of course a first-class spa with a wide variety of treatments available. The location is near enough Karon Beach that it is convenient, but far enough away that it feels secluded and exclusive.

What the reviews say
Reviews for the Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket are generally excellent, though there are a few that point out things that are worth knowing before you book. Everyone is impressed by the rooms and the service, and most people appreciate the quiet Karon Beach location, but some mention that it’s not as lively as they had preferred.
The main complaints are that things like internet and tennis come at an extra cost, which some feel is not fitting of a proper 5-star hotel. So the list of activities is indeed impressive, though not all of them are free, so that should be taken into account when figuring your budget if you decide to book here.
