Reserve Stories
Travelling is deeply personal and Centara Reserve Samui makes guest experiences even more personalised with its four Reserve Stories – the pillars under which its signature experiences are defined. Reserve Time means your time and your pace; it’s a break away from conventional check-in and check-out, and regimented meal periods, and the introduction of flexible arrival and departure times and breakfast served when you wish, all part of providing service in tune with guests’ own timezones. Reserve Space is the resort’s spaces being dynamic and customised for you; perhaps lunch is a romantic picnic on a reserved spot of the beach or your suite terrace is converted into an evening cocktail venue for you and friends. Reserve Culture brings authentic connection through local culture. The Thai welcome ritual includes guests floating a marigold on the lobby pond, symbolising happiness, joy and good luck, while the in-room cocktail station is stocked with destination-inspired recipes and ingredients. Reserve Touch reflects the unique service and personalised experiences guest can expect, or often not even expect at all, from personal butler service through Reserve Hosts, to a complimentary photo session with the resident Reseve photographer to capture guests’ moments within the resort, or by meaningful interactions with Reserve narrators, there to guide you in discovering the resort and destination with insightful local knowledge.
