Centara Villas Samui

Really enjoyed our stay here at the villas. What makes the place exceptional is the freindly staff. They really went above and beyond with helping with our needs making forna peacful trip. Easy to relax here just chill and enjoy your time.

Amazing

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.

Fantastic place and staff were so welcoming

Truly beautiful resort, would recommend, especially paying slightly more for the bungalows with private pool. Slight issue with the reception staff at the very end over our laundry but did not dampen too more of the overall experience.

All good here. Very relaxing and clean. Friendly staff just need to improve in communication but rest they are very good.😊

The property is situated in a beautiful location, nice beach and the staff are welcoming and friendly. However, its' overall condition is poor, old and rundown. access within the property is also inconvenient.

great stay, surely visit

Property has direct beach access. Staff are friendly. Would need a car or scooter if you want to day travel or go out at night. No Grab or Bolt transportation service nearby.

Lovely place and Fantastic staff, very nice quite area which is what we after, Wasn't as happy with the beach, didn't realise that there was so many sharp rocks the water, we thought it was all sand but its not, you need to wear beach shoes at all times, Also there was some renovation work being carried out for the whole 2 weeks which we wasn't aware of, they were renewing the tiles on all the roof's in the Pool/Beach area so when you were trying to relax they were cutting the tiles and using a nail gun all the time which was quite annoying! I know they need to do renovation at some point but we wish we had known about it before we went

Beautiful place & outstanding room with private pool. Food was good with great beach area. Would recommend highly.

Great place to stay at very good value for money. The staff are the best part about this hotel, very friendly, attentive, helpful and fun to talk too. Food was surprisingly good and excellent value for money. Hotel provides free water-sports equipment. The only things that let this hotel down are the location which isn't really near anywhere, but the hotel does have a shuttle service and the beach is disappointing. The sea is extremely shallow and has a large reef of dead coral not far out which doesn't make for the best view and very still water. Some aspects of the villas could do with some renovation such as sockets and electrical switches. AC can be quite noisy. Good place to stay for a few nights if you just want to do some relaxing around the pool and beach. If you want to be close to other places or within walking distance to shops etc, this is not the place.

Lovely and quiet, with really friendly, helpful staff. Be aware there are lots of steps and very little by way of stores / restaurants within the immediate vicinity.

Beautiful area

The staff was exceptional

Stunning beach front location: 3 lovely pools and good breakfast buffet.

Hotel in remote place so need transport or rely on hotel shuttles. Staff friendly and quite a few new young staff. Due to it being on side of cliff steps need to be taken no matter where you want to go. Prices for food and drink expensive considering they also add 10% service charge then 7% tax on top, even the free drinks in happy hour. Food in restaurant overpriced and not very good quality for price. (Ate there 3 times in 28 days) went to the beach bar 5 mins along beach. Sun loungers in poor condition and only a few around upper pools (4 to 6) rooms need upgrading, had them out 3 times to get aircon working properly and had to buy own hairdryer after requesting the one in room be changed twice and nothing. Seems that they use any chance to charge extra for shuttles when less than 4 people but dont reduce cost when full, Policy doesnt make sense. Lovely views let down by facilities.

Staircation in a middle of a jungle. Very quiet and secluded spot. There are not too many options of eating outside of the resort. The pool had no lounge chairs.

Upon arrival at Centara Villas, where we had booked for 28 nights plus a further room for 14 nights, we were shown to our villa, the villa was small, smelt of damp and hardly any storage for our 3 suitcases as we were on a 2 month trip. We were eventually given an upgraded room but for an extra 500baht per night. The new villa was slightly bigger but during our stay we had to have the noisy air con unit looked at 3 times. Requested a new hairdryer which was useless twice and despite being told it would be never was and my wife went out a purchased her own. The sunbeds were old and either rusty or the plastic ones would leave white bits all over you and the covers were worn and sagging. We ate at the overpriced restaurant 3 times in the first week and due to the poor quality of the food ate at the beach bar nearby or elsewhere every other night. Drinks were expensive compared to elsewhere and happy hour buy one get one free, you had to pay the service charge and tax on the free drink, so it wasnt free at all. Never came across this at the other hotel or bars we visited. The hotel is slightly isolated and unless you have your own transport the use of there shuttle service was needed or taxi service at an extra cost which would increase if there were less than 4 booked on it. The whole grounds were on side of hill so numerous steps encountered to get around. Staff friendly but appeared under staffed, hotel needs money spent on it as facilities in poor state. Recommended NO.

Superb location. Peace and quiet, attentive staff especially Puki and Mam in the restaurant. Plenty of choice on the breakfast buffet and the lunch and Evening menus. Can highly recommend.
