The service here is next level. The staff can’t do enough for you. From the moment we arrived at their private pier in Koh Samui, we were treated so well (highly recommend the private transfer that you can book on their website). We went for the sea view villa plus and it’s the nicest place we’ve ever stayed. Pure luxury and relaxation. We both got treatments for 2 out of the 3 days we were here with a check in promotion they had on. We both loved it! This is the only hotel abroad we’ve ever come back to twice (we love going to try new places- this place cannot be beaten for the price in our opinion though!) The little village down the beach is amazing for authentic non touristy Thai food. It really feels like you’re away from the crowds but with decent food and iced coffees nearby! The village is really lovely and would recommend you go there for dinner.

Nothing not to love!

Loved every minute of our stay here for our honeymoon and they made it extra special. The hotel is huge which we did not realise until we got there. We stay in hotel 3 which has a private pool for the hotel with an incredible view. It is also where the gym is and it was the best gym in our entire 1 month stay in Asia. The sunset from the room was also amazing. Bed was comfy, designs of the rooms were traditional. They provide a free 24 hour truck ride from the reception to your room which was also amazing. Other reviews have said it is hard to get to the next beach because of the rocks and barbed wire however, they have sorted this out and the pathway is safe. It is only a 2 minute walk across the rocks to the next beach so do not let these review put you off. Would defiantly come back again.

Breakfast could have slight more variety as changes every other day but there was a huge amount to choose from.

The resort is very nice. it feels in a funny way that you are at th White Lotus. Once you are in, it is difficult to get out as there are so many amenities. Thé food they serve at breakfast is quite good. Thé pool in the room which at first feels a little over the top, is actually very useful after a long day in the sun. The room was super comfy and the bamboo clad bathroom very exotic

Thé fact that you have to call the reception every time you need to access every hotel amenity so they can pick you up in a beautiful wooden car and drive you everywhere is a little exhausting in the end. Next to the hotel beach which is beautiful but not the best for swimming there is an incredible postcard beach. it is accessible through the rocks in the right side of the hotel beach and it takes 3 minutes to get there.

Honestly from the start of our customer journey, Santhiya really blew our expectations off the roof. They were helpful on communications prior to our arrival as well as during. The resort is absolutely magnificent, the traditional Thai wooden architecture blends perfectly with the jungle surrounding it. You truly feel at peace in this resort, the pool suite sea view is exactly as the pictures show, we do recommend sea view as there is a lot more privacy then you’d have in the garden view. Now onto the employees, coming from a hospitality background, I must say we were so impressed by the attitude and kindness of the staff. Yes, it’s standard in Thailand for employees to be extra kind and nice, but something about the place and its people was just amazing. Special mention to Bruno who did an outstanding job at directing us through the hotel and our room, and Joel (not sure if I’m spelling it correctly 🫣) was our FB attendant twice and was really sweet and attentive to our stay. Overall, anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious stay should definitely visit Santhiya. We have made it our mission to visit all of the Santhiya resorts in Thailand. 🥳

We loved everything about the resort. The villa was stunning, from the comfortable bed, the enormous bathroom and outdoor shower and bath, the amazing plunge pool, the presentation of the room every day and the kind touches and gestures, the wooden look of everything including the cars, the wonderful staff who were always smiling and helpful, the yoga classes, the stunning beach and swimming pools, the incredible spa and the wonderful treatments we had, the glorious breakfasts and other meals and the general welcoming vibe and the peace of the place. Loved every single minute thank you

All perfect

This place is amazing, loved the traditional Thai feel of the resort. The views from our room were spectacular. The food and facilities excellent. It was a very short and easy walk to the neighbouring Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach. This area of the island is like being in a movie scene, tropical and stunning island life. We were high up on the hill side, the resort provides cars to drive yup up to and down from your room. They operator 24x7 and you never have to wait more than a couple of minutes for the car to arrive and take you where you need to go.

Nothing to note here. Can't wait to visit again.

The hotel and villas are absolutely beautiful — exactly like the photos. The property is well-maintained, with great facilities including a relaxing spa, a private beach, and kayaks available for guests. The breakfast was good, and the staff were mostly helpful and friendly, especially those who spoke English. We especially enjoyed our stay in one of the older villas, which was in great condition and had a lot of charm.

We stayed in two different villas, and surprisingly, the newer villa was in worse condition than the older one. The wood was worn and it just didn’t feel as well maintained, despite the higher price. Also, while most staff were friendly, communication was sometimes difficult with those who didn’t speak English. Overall, the hotel is on the expensive side, and the newer villas don’t seem worth the extra cost.

Resort built into the side of a hill has amazing views from both restaurants. Rooms are good size. Good variety of food at breakfast and menu at both restaurants. Cute tuk tuks transport you to wherever you want to go within the resort because of how steep the terrain is.

We stayed in a swim up room with a beautiful pool right at our little patio. Wish it had of been an adult only pool as there were families with screaming kids that didn’t make for a tranquil stay. For the money we paid the resort should address this for future. There small beach that the resort is situated on is not nice. The sand is rough and water dirty. Only a small walk over the rocks to much nicer beach and little village with restaurants and shops. Our stay was ok, but wouldn't stay again.

The hotel structure and layout are a truly genuine, local and traditional representation of Thai style. The hotel location itself is superb. Gym is supeb. Staff is very good and the 3 restaurants are very good too.

The hotel is located on a steep hill and is pretty big with facilities scattered here and there. There is 24/7 shuttle service (super fast) available to take you to the room or up to the gym or down to the restaurants - getting around autonomosuly on foot is demanding. If you are in a good shape and wants to train a bit, it is ok, otherwise you are not fully indipendent and need to wait 3, 4 minutes each tome for the shuttle. The hotel beach is not super. You need to go to the second nearest beach which is 4 minutes walk from the hotle but the path to get there is requires a bit of a "hiking".

The shuttles to and from rooms which is available 24/7 is great - we stayed not too far away from reception near the fitness centre but other rooms / villas may be further away which means you could only rely on the shuttles as opposed to us walking back to the room the odd time. Breakie was great with a good selection - the eggs Benedict were delicious! The staff were extremely pleasant and service was fab! You can get to the local town on foot (but it is over rocky terrain at the back of the hotel near the main pool behind the Titan restaurant). This has good food spots and bars. If you’re coming from Samui - check the times of the speedboat as it goes from the airport and goes directly to hotel. It may be better value than a private shuttle. We didn’t get this but regretted it! It was hard to understand the communication on it to be fair!

The hotel itself would benefit from more maintenance. We saw some ongoing so hopefully it will be addressed in other parts. It is clear the place is a little worn out. If you are immobile - I wouldn’t suggest this as a place to go as lots of hills, steps and step inclines. We had seen some falls so best avoid if immobile!
