Heydays are certainly behind it, but still a well maintained place with a wooden palace and splendid jungle like garden. Great swimming opportunities both in the pool and beach.

Inability of the staff to keep loud groups from Moscow in their place.

Fantastic breakfast, even gluten-free bread available upon request. The staff is exceptional, extremely nice and helpful. Rooms are spacious and super clean. Great method to communicate with the front desk by whatsapp.

AC was not strong enough to keep the set temperature in the room, there is no actual sand available to enjoy at the beachfront because the water line there is very high. The big problem is that the property is not sustainable enough. Many things could have been improved - e.g. reusable water bottles instead of plastic bottles, drinking water dispensers, encouraging guests to reuse beach towels etc. I also found it quite difficult to find vegan options in the restaurants.

Santhiya Tree Resort is a true paradise on the already heavenly island of Koh Chang. Words cannot fully capture the beauty and magic of this place, where we spent an unforgettable seven days as a family. From the breathtaking architecture and decor of the resort to the incredible staff, who are nothing short of angels—always helpful, always smiling, and anticipating your every need—everything about this place is simply exceptional. One of the unique experiences begins with breakfast, where you take off your shoes before entering the dining area. What awaits inside is a vast selection of local and international dishes, served on a spacious terrace overlooking the stunning pool and the mountainous landscape of the island. We chose a pool villa, which turned out to be the perfect sanctuary of tranquility and privacy, especially when traveling with children. It was an excellent choice—the villa was beautifully designed, and having access to a private pool 24/7 made it almost impossible to resist spending most of our time swimming and relaxing. The main pool, located right by the beach, is equally impressive. No crowds, crystal-clear water, a stylish design, and the proximity to the shore create the perfect setting to unwind and soak in the island atmosphere. Dinners at the resort are pure magic—outdoors, accompanied by breathtaking sunsets that add to the unforgettable ambiance. The hotel offers fantastic promotional dining experiences that are absolutely worth trying. Many of these special evenings are enhanced by live performances of local music, traditional instruments, or mesmerizing fire shows. The resort’s spa is another highlight, offering expertly performed massages in a setting designed for complete relaxation. Once again, the staff go above and beyond to ensure your comfort and well-being. To sum up, Santhiya Tree Resort is a solid 10/10 in my book and firmly holds a spot in my personal Top 3 hotels worldwide.

Amazing service, wonderful facilities and great atmosphere and architecture. Most rooms come with a private pool with mountain views and the option to watch the sunrise. During our stay, we were met with wonderful service, and a smile to go with it. The comfort of the rooms are very good, and the bed is hard but nice to sleep on. I Will definitely come back one day!

We stayed in two different rooms. Three nights we stayed at an apartment with a private pool overlooking the mountains. And 2 nights at the hideaway villa. The aircondition in the apartment wasn't working very well, and the room could get a little warm, but it was still functional and cooled the room adequately.

We absolutely loved our time at the Santhiya Tree. We chose one of the river view rooms with private pool and it was the most beautiful room I have ever stayed in. It was all wood with touches of ceramic items and welcoming lighting. The large glass sliding doors opened up to a veranda with an infinity pool overlooking the river, green hills and mangroves. Relaxing on the daybed looking out over the pool whilst listening to the sound of all the tropical birds was definitely a highlight of our stay. There beautiful hotel pool is surrounded by palm trees and comfy sunbeds and gorgeous beach in front of the hotel is palm-fringed with white sand and turquoise water. The staff were really lovely and did an excellent job of looking after us. We were really sad to leave.

I didn't think the breakfast was 5* quality. The selection was quite limited and it tasted average. The only things I enjoyed were the eggs, the fruits and the coffee.

Extremely beautiful property and buildings. The room I had was also stunning. The craftsmanship is definitely something to be admired. The pools and views were also enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was very good.

The staff were all very good and friendly but I actually would have like a touch more relaxed energy from them. I appreciated the wai's and hello's but after passing 8 workers on one walk you start to want to not make eye contact with them and just continue on the path.

Stunning grounds and beautiful teak accommodation. good location, lovely staff clean, decent food.

The cost of the food with the VAT plus service charge on top of bills. We only ate in the hotel once due to the cost. Most guests ate elsewhere the restaurants at the hotel were never busy. We understand the costs will be higher in a nicer resort and we expected that, but the costs with the added 10% service charge and 7% added vat also it was just far too expensive to eat and drink here. Maybe they do not need as many staff and could costs that way, there seemed to be lots of staff around not doing much, especially on reception.

I really liked staff who were super helpful. At the 1st day we had emergency situation and hotel reacted on time and fast. One of staff (Liam) was exceptional in assisting finding the car till BKK airport and other helpful tips to explore the island. I really recommend to stay there: rooms in the main building have its own private swimming pools. Breakfast place has fantastic view to mountains and "infinite" pool.

This was a stunning hotel and the staff are really friendly and hard working. They could not do enough to help you. Our room was lovely and a big size. The grounds of hotel are beautiful. It was nice that you could just WhatsApp staff with any questions and if you were out and about they would book taxis for you, which was useful as not always easy to do on Koh Chang later at night (taxis generally just drive up and down the main road). Drinks and food were nice.

Our private pool was a bit cold so didn't use as much as would have if it was heated. The shuttle bus should be more frequent.

You are treated like royalty from the moment you arrive til the moment you leave. I have never been to a place where i felt so welcome. Every single staff were so polite and caring. The facilities and the sorroundings were all pleasing for the eye and well maintained. The food were a treat everytime. I know I sound like i were payed to say this, but this is my honest opinion and I have tried quite lot of different places in my time.

I found nothing to complain about and i am quite picky. If possible I would definately come again and enjoy the atmosphere, food and wonderfull sourrondings.
