Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket

Centara Grand Beach is located in Karon, a laid-back resort town with a cool vibe. The gay-friendly hotel decor reflects Phuket’s Sino-Portuguese history, with a blend of Asian and colonial elements. Every room has a private balcony and plush furnishings, but the spa rooms with jacuzzi are perfect for couples and the two-bedroom villa great for groups. Several restaurants and bars dot the resort, from a laid-back barefoot bar to a classy beach club. The in-house water park is definitely a highlight, as is the complimentary snorkeling equipment.
