Hotels.com rating is incorrect: only 4-star resort
At their own admission, Centara Ceysands Resort is a 4-star resort yet it is listed on hotels.com as a 5-star resort. The difference here is huge. The resort is clearly not 5-star, the rooms are run down, some with damp and unpleasant smells in them. The pool is huge and caters well for families with kids or people who want to "get involved" during their stay (e.g. water aerobics), but it is not the quality I was expecting. We ended up moving out after 1 night as we were celebrating a milestone anniversary and wanted something more private and quality than this. The staff were very nice when I told them this and gave us many options (different rooms, upgrades, etc.) and were supportive when we finally decided to move on. I would recommend this for family holidays, but not for couples who want privacy, or for anyone expecting 5-star quality.

The hotel was great, the food selection excellent. Some of the staff however left a lot to be desired. We had experiences where we were totally ignored when reporting problems. Twice on booking in we were offered inferior rooms to what we booked. Some of the staff were good but the others require more training

Overrated Hotel
The staff were friendly and extremely accommodating. However, the hotel is rundown and desperately needs refurbishing. The toilet emitted a bad order and had mold build up. The large glass windows/doors tool a lot of effort to close/secure. My brother Johann who stayed on for shared the same sentiments.

6/10 Good

Bit of a mixed review on this hotel. It was a pleasant stay, and by no means wasn't terrible at all however I wouldn't say this is a 5* hotel. It may have been many years ago. We paid for a deluxe luxury room and with that expect some luxury treatments and perks, and we didn't receive any of that I.e bathrobes, slippers etc. So I question what we actually paid for compared to the regular rooms. The bathroom had a constant sewage smell. Spa service was great. The nightly entertainment was okay, little cheesy but pleasant.
