Centara Reserve Samui

We had a fantastic stay at Centara Reserve Samui and would happily return.

The resort is incredibly quiet, which made for the best and most restful sleep of our trip. The room was tasteful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed without feeling overdone.

One of the real highlights is the adults-only pool area, which creates a calm, relaxing space away from children and genuinely enhances the sense of escape. The main pool is also very well managed. Q and Nonny deserve special mention for the way they help everyone get a good seat, even when it’s busy. It’s clearly not an easy task, and they handle it cheerfully and fairly.

The gin bar is excellent, with a great range and a very good happy hour. Across the resort, the staff are genuinely happy and engaged, which says a lot about the quality of management and how well staff are treated.

Breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of high-quality options, and it never felt chaotic despite the number of guests.

The location is also ideal. It’s a short drive to the excellent restaurants at Fisherman’s Village, and the resort sits on a lovely white sand beach that’s perfect for swimming.

All up, Centara Reserve Samui delivers a calm, well-managed, and genuinely relaxing experience. Highly recommended.

Our stay here was truly unforgettable and without a doubt the most beautiful vacation we have ever had on Koh Samui. A very special thank you to Aly, Michelle, and Best you are absolutely amazing!
From the very first moment, we felt incredibly welcome and cared for. Everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism, warmth, and genuine kindness. The service was flawless, yet always personal and heartfelt. You can truly feel that the team loves what they do.
This place feels like a home away from home. The atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and full of positive energy, and the staff goes above and beyond to make every guest feel special and comfortable. Everyone here is incredibly friendly, attentive, and simply wonderful.
We cannot recommend this place enough. If you are looking for a perfect, relaxing, and memorable stay on Koh Samui, this is the place to be!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our vacation so special we will definitely come back!
MUCHAS GRACIAS Centara Reserve Team!!! :)

Overall the hotel is nice, but not nicely maintained at all.
The cleanliness is poor! Thai kind!
Everything is sticky, they do not use proper cleaning tools. No vacumcleaner, only broom what they use.
All towers, bedsheets, robes are off-white, spotted. After the dayly cleaning you do not feel cleaningness in the room at all. Beach towels are extremly dirty and oldish.
Rooms design is not bad, but not tailored for a longer period of stay.
The wardrobe is not able to accomodate 2-3 suitcases.
Breakfast is ok, but not diverse at all. In a country of many tropicql fruits, here they only offer 4-5 kinds of fruits, every day the same! Only the kind of basic fruits, nothing special local fruit available. Watermelon, pineable, melon, apple and dragon fruit. Although the markets are full of exotic, uniqe fruits.
Service is the Thai/Asian kind of service, do not expect the 5 star Western service.
The hotel does not worth its price during the Christmas Holidays. Extremly expensive, compared what you get for your money.
Locationwise, Chewang Beach is very bussy, full of shops, restaurants, cafes, party places. Beach is also very bussy, for a quiet holiday choose other location.
This part of the beach is normally realy nice, one of the nices, but after big rains, storm it takes 2-3-4 days to get the water nice clean again.
Hotel is not doing anythig with all of the rubish that the wawes take out to the beach.

This hotel is amazing. This is our second visit. This time is every bit as good as last year. Bow in the Terrace restaurant looked after us so well and she is such a lovely girl well nothing is too much trouble. Benz in the Salt and Society Restaurant is always smiling and helpful and Paul keeps the pool running smoothly and the towel is on the sunbed as soon as he sees you, these staff members really stand out but everyone of the staff are so welcoming. We have already booked to come back before we have even left, this says it all!!
We would definitely recommend Centara Reserve Samui for a wonderful holiday.
Alice in the Spa is very talented, I had the best facial I have ever had.
The grounds are kept spotless and the rooms are lovely and serviced everyday with a turn down service in the evening.
We look forward to coming back next year!!
Thank you Centara Reserve Samui

We stayed for 7 nights , the resort and staff are top notch . The resort vibes are really great . We took a beach view room which over looked the garden and beach , with a nice bathroom shower and tub

We stayed at Centara Reserve Samui for four nights in December. It is an outstanding resort. Staff were very attentive and kind, facilities were well maintained and clean, we enjoyed the easy beach access and pool. The breakfast buffet had the largest selection we’ve ever seen. The hotel helped us arrange a private sunset boat tour which was magical. We also enjoyed the elephant sanctuary. The resort is located perfectly, far enough away from the hot spots but close enough for a walk or short car ride. We appreciated the special anniversary surprise and the surprise of the day was a bit of fun. As an LGBTQ couple, we had no issues and felt welcome. We would definitely recommend this resort for fellow travellers. Thank you Centara for a wonderful stay!

Our vacation at Centara Reserve was absolutely amazing! Everyone here is so kind and there is amazing service throughout all parts of the stay -front desk service, food service, bar service, and all!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! We loved everything — from the atmosphere to the service. The staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special thank you to Best, Fern, Fah and Peach for their exceptional care and for perfectly organizing our late check-out.

The breakfasts were simply amazing — delicious, fresh, and beautifully varied. The hotel grounds are truly magical: well-kept, green, and very inviting. Everything was impeccably clean, which made our stay even more comfortable and relaxing.

We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place! 🌿✨

Beautiful hotel with extremely friendly and service oriented staff. An amazing beach and beautiful pool as well. Be sure to include breakfast in your stay package. They have an amazing breakfast buffet. Amenities in the room are also an excellent touch. The location is also close to the city center, which is great for those who love the nightlife and restaurants.

Best hotel by far!!
The facilities, the room, the pool , and the employees are incredible (peach is the best) can’t wait to return here 😍

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. My first visit left a lasting impression—the warm welcome, excellent service, and the staff’s constant smiles and greetings created such a pleasant atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the hotel itself was beautiful and spotless. I had an exceptional time.
Everything was so perfect that I didn’t want to leave. What I liked most about the service was the reception staff and the team downstair severyone was lovely and very attentive.
I would like to express my sincere thanks.

Centara Reserve Samui is a true luxury hotel. The staff was some of the best we have ever encountered. And the hotel experience was pure relaxation and we never felt rushed or frustrated. Our room was a Luxury Ocean and offered plenty of space for an 8 night stay. Our room was kept renewed daily and spotless by the staff and turndown service much appreciated. The morning breakfast was just amazing from the Menu to the large buffet offering something for everyone. The pools were enjoyable and relaxing and offered great service for food and drinks. The hotel location is very convenient to a nearby mall and great restaurants.

This is an absolutely wonderful hotel. Everything is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The staff are extremely polite, attentive, and always willing to help. I would especially like to mention the employee Peach, who was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my stay.

The entire property is beautiful, and the food is truly excellent.
Overall, a fantastic experience. I can highly recommend this hotel!

The best hotel ever! From the moment we arrived we received service from the lovely Jean who took care of us throughout everything. The hotel is amazingly decorated and luxurious, amazing service and smiling employees, excellent breakfast, sports classes included in the price and simply a treat! Recommended to everyone!!!

When my husband and I arrived at the Centara Reserve Samui in Koh Samui, we were immediately impressed. We knew from the moment we checked in that this stay was going to be incredible. Immediately after checking in, we received a moist towel, a mocktail, and a delicious piece of chocolate! The resort is stunning— modern, elegant, and perfectly located on the beach and is just 15 minutes from the airport. Every detail of the design feels luxurious, so we were super excited to stay here.

The staff were phenomenal—warm, friendly, and so accommodating. We’ve never felt so welcomed and appreciated as guests. They really went above and beyond to make our stay special, and it showed. Special shoutout to the staff (Sophie, Kelvin, Auto, Wendy, just to name an few) and general manager, Neil, for making us feel so special.

Our room was beautiful, with a sleek modern design. The beachfront view was a plus, and the in-room amenities were topnotch. From the well-stocked mini bar to the scented soap, lotion, and shampoos—all amazing. Honestly, we’ve never stayed at a place that offered such a unique mini bar! We especially loved the “surprise of the day” which was a fun and thoughtful touch that made us feel like VIPs.

The food at Centara was a major plus. We enjoyed pool-side meals and delicious cocktails/mocktails throughout our stay. The breakfasts were fantastic, offering both à la carte and buffet options with high-quality food and plenty of variety.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying the beach, or exploring the resort’s many amenities, there is something for everyone. We’re already looking forward to trying other Centara properties and we’d definitely return to this Koh Samui location in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend Centara Reserve Samui to anyone looking for a luxurious, welcoming, and relaxing trip in Thailand! You won’t regret it!

Its was wonderful vacation in Centara resort. The kind staff, the facilities, the spa, the location of the hotel - everything was perfect!
