Waterfront Suites Phuket by Centara garners praise for its roomy and snug accommodations, though a few guests suggest a revamp might be due. The staff's exceptional service frequently receives accolades, contributing to a delightful stay. While the kitchen-equipped rooms are a boon, critiques of outdated decor and missing amenities emerge.
Notably, the hotel's cleanliness is repeatedly lauded. The value proposition is generally appreciated, notwithstanding the disturbances from nocturnal music and air conditioning noise. Its choice location is popular among guests, despite the compromise of a bustling atmosphere and nighttime sounds.

We had a 2 bedroom Seaview room from the front and big Buddha from the rear, which was ideal for us and gave plenty of space and benefit of 2 bathrooms Few minutes walk and you are on the beach or at the heart of Karon, and short stroll from Karon Lake. Ideal location Daily house keeping of towels and bins emptied Apartment was spotless and lifts always accessible Pool was fairly quiet most of the time and although not heated was always warm and clean, and no issues with bugs as regularly treating around the grounds Few downsides which were minimal * take ear plugs if you are on side of the main street as the music is loud til 2/3am from the garage bar * To use the facilities like tennis/ pool.etc this is chargeable to loan the equipment not a deposit * There is no over just hob and microwave if wanting full self catering * if you want contact with the hotel email them as they don't reply via social media
WiFi was great and we would defo recommend and return

Perfect place. Friendly staff, very clean. This is an apartment hotel. The main difference from regular hotels is that there is no breakfast, but the room has a normal refrigerator and a kitchen with all utensils. We had a two bedroom suite (two families) and it was very comfortable. The living room is simply huge, bigger than a small Thai restaurant :). In the kitchen area, as I already wrote, there is almost everything: an electric kettle, an electric stove, a microwave, frying pans, pots, boards, plates, glasses, wine glasses, spoons and forks. Unless the knives are dull :). Below, as expected, there is a swimming pool, a small park, and a mini-pond with fish. Close to the beach, first line. Cons: the two loudest bars on Patak Road are located just under the hotel windows on the north side, and they can be clearly heard from almost any room, especially from the lower ones. We, thank God, had the 14th floor, with windows to the north, west and east. The best choice would be a room with windows facing south, but, in my opinion, almost all of them are sold out to private property. But nothing, we adapted. The bathroom has everything you need and is updated as needed. Cleaned daily, bed linen not changed daily. In general, I liked everything

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Very good accommodation experience, I will choose here again next time. The room is very large, both rooms can see the sea, there is a swimming pool and smoking area downstairs. It is very close to the beach, just two minutes downstairs, and the surrounding transportation is also very convenient. There are many restaurants, and there are 711 on both sides, which is very convenient to go anywhere. The hotel service is also very thoughtful, especially the front desk lady marina and bring,,, are the best I have encountered during my trip to Thailand. They can provide Chinese and English services, very enthusiastic, and made our trip more enjoyable. I will definitely choose here next time. Friends who come here to travel will definitely not step on the pit when choosing this hotel. I strongly recommend it...

Very clean hotel. We didn’t expect such friendly and kind staff, even the security guards. Everyone says hello and smiles. Marina, James and Bua tried to please us in everything. Very kind and responsive. The pool is clean. The rooms are cleaned every day, water is added, towels are changed and the bed is made. The internet in the room is a little weak, but the reception is excellent in the living room (triple suite). Literally 2 minutes to the sea. There is everything in the area, the location at the top is convenient. Under the windows sometimes the too loud music from the bar made it difficult to sleep. She plays until 2 am.

Our family was accommodated in 2 rooms. A room with 2 bedrooms overlooking the sea and a room with 1 bedroom. It was quiet in the room overlooking the sea, but in the second room you could hear music from the street until late, which made it very difficult to fall asleep. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels and bed linen were changed. They brought water, tea, coffee and sugar to them. The rooms are equipped with stoves for cooking food, which is very convenient when traveling with children who do not really like to eat in cafes. Wi-Fi speed is good. The children enjoyed spending time in the pool. The location is very convenient. The beach is across the road, close to shops, cafes, pharmacies and everything you need for a comfortable stay

Excellent location, our room did face the busy Karon streets so we noise at night was loud. Staff were friendly, and very friendly - Could walk everywhere including Temple Markets, Restaurants, Beach etc. Facilities are a bit tired, but rooms are very spacious (enormous), and we chose this place for location over anything else. Really good value for money, and it allowed us to offer our children the real Thai experience (we have a 12, 10 and 8yo).

We had a family vacation. I myself am a travel agent with 16 years of experience, and we definitely chose Karon and the apartments as close to the beach as possible. A very good option! Spacious! There is everything you need (fully equipped kitchen - pots, pans, stove, toaster, microwave, refrigerator with freezer, all dishes and cutlery)! Great service and staff! Important - you can hear music and karaoke from bars in the Inland View rooms; for the sensitive, it is better to take Ocean View and earplugs. The renovation is classic, not designer and not super new, everything is visible in the photo, for those who care about the internal equipment, you need to take this factor into account. Personally, our expectations are 100% justified, the employees are simply darling, good old sincere Thai smiles are available =) P.S. In the photo there is a 2-bedroom suite

A good hotel to stay with a family. Excellent location a little further from the road, there is a swimming pool with different depths and parking for cars. A kitchen set with a set of necessary utensils and utensils makes feeding children who do not like tom yum very easy) beautiful view from the window. Friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely staff, spacious accommodation and fantastic location for our teenage family! Great restaurants all around. The only down fall was the music from the Main Street travelled at night a price you pay for being in such a central location.

Beautiful apartment 2 minutes from Karon Beach. Lived in apartment 7C from 04.10.24 to 16.10.24. Very spacious,full set of dishes. Microwave, toaster, refrigerator, thermal sweat. Cleaning every day, very responsive staff. In the living room did not cool the air conditioning, applied and immediately came 6 people!!! ,fixed in 10 minutes. Near two 7/11,Italian restaurant,bus stop.Of course,the furniture in the room is not new .But everything is very clean.The bed is comfortable,linen is white,the air conditioning in the bedroom worked quietly.We paid for 12 nights 57000 rubles.(Trip.com) and the price/quality ratio is just fire!Nice receptionist at the reception Bua,always helped with all questions.There is a nuance.If you get a room towards the street with restaurants(A and B),late music will be heard.A friend lived on the floor down in apartment 6B and complained about a strong noise.Our room was quiet.At the reception they give out beach towels.Closed area.We were very pleased with the rest!I recommend heartily!

Not renovated but very roomy and clean; noise from busy street below is still the same. It is safe building in great location with the cleanest pool ever.
"Do not even consider if you want a relaxing holiday or have small kids.
Great for party goers only due to loud music all night from surrounding bars..."
There are more places to choose from in the Karon area.
