Holiday in Phuket - Centara Villas Phuket

My second blog on our travels to Phuket is on Centara Villas Phuket. The resort is located on the cliffs overlooking the crescent of Karon Bay and a 45 minutes drive from the Phuket Airport. It has access to Karon beach which is situated at the foot of the hill.

We booked a pool villa which has a private 5 metre pool overlooking the ocean. These are some pictures of the villa.



As the resort is built on cliffs, it can be a challenge to walk down to the beach as the steps are very steep and dangerous towards the bottom. There are also many steps in the resort between the various rooms and the resort facilities. However, there is a buggy transportation provided by the villa. 

Most of our meals are settled in the resort restaurant as there are no shops near the resort. On one of the days, we walked down to the beach and walked to some restaurants and provision shops at the other side of the beach. That took us around 30 mins. 

Rooms are cleaned but a bit old fashioned. The private pool deck and the pool need some maintenance as they appeared old and rundown. However, the view of the ocean was breathtaking. The spa, which happens to be just in front of our pool villa, was good and affordable.

It was a relaxing trip lazing by the private pool all day. However, we will not visit the resort again due to its remote location and steep pathways.
