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.

The staff is really nice and helpful with very good english. The hotel also offers a very good and responsive shuttle service in order to move around the hotel and outside. The room is really big with everything that you need. The hotel's pool is big with a beautiful waterfall. The beach is also beautiful. The hotel also offers a boat shuttle service to and from Koh Samui. The massage was amazing. The breakfast was really good with good variety.

The location of the hotel is pretty isolated. The concept of the hotel is nature so the bathroom has no celling which can be nice sometimes but also vulnerable to bugs and rain. It also makes it a little bit dirty. Because everything is in the open you probably gonna see some bugs and lizards in your room or outside of it.

Incredible location. We loved everything

this feels like a Thailand version of Center Parks back home. very spacious and green resort complex with excellent facilities and friendly staff. we had a private pool room which was excellent. the hotel offer a speed boat transfer from Koh Samui. we used this on the way back and was much quicker and the same price as taking the ferry and getting a taxi on the way in (taxis want a lot of money as resort is very far away from ferry point)

the location felt very isolated from anything. reliant upon calling for hotel shuttle each time we wanted to go to breakfast or dinner. the beach is small and stoney (you can walk across the rocky pathway to next door beach which is excellent with many shops and restaurants leading to the tiny village - a must do)

The pool access room where you can swimm

Waiting time to check into the room. We arrived early and had to wait too long

Our favorite part is the outdoor bathroom. And that it I s all part of the surrounding nature

No menues in the resturants. Everything had to be done by scanning barcodes. Maybe in downtown New York but absolutly not on a tropical island

The view from the room is nice and the pool is beautiful. It feels authentically Thai.

Service was slow, not very helpful. We had to wait an hour to check in even though we took their boat service to get there. Our safe was broken and we had to ask several times to get it fixed. We also asked for info on snorkeling trips but they were not helpful. We ended up hiring a private guide to take us around the island. The restaurants are very expensive compared to other local places— if you can figure out how to get there, go to Thai nai Pan noi or yen for better food that is much less expensive.

Very Friendly staff. Location on the quiet side of the island. Fabulous spa. Private speedboat transfer. Wooden cars that bring you to the rooms. Private beach. Some very nice restaurants in the local village

Food was a little more expensive than in the local restaurants but I suppose you have to pay a bit extra for convenience especially to order from the pool and have your food delivered. Rooms had every modern convenience but the abundance of wood made them seem a little dark. Unless you are prepared to climb over rocks (which would be too dangerous in the dark) you need to get a taxi to the local village.

The resort is incredibile. Everything is like a work of art from wood, even the shuttles inside the resort. The check in and the staff were very efficient and good. The rooms have everything from good wifi, smart TV, amazing view, private pool and bath in the balcony. They have also beautiful beach and pools with incredible view. The food also was very good, breakfast and the restaurants in the hotel. You don't need to leave the resort.

The only two negative things I can say are -The gym maybe needs a change of some of it's equipment. - The position of the resort. Most of the activities in koh phangan are at the center or the west part of the island. But Santhiya really gives you almost anything and you don't need to leave the resort.

It was like Having your own little oasis for yourself. Even if the rest of the resort is fantastic and the pool is phenomenal, having your own private pool made the whole thing magical.

The resort is not easily accessible and far from anything. But we planned it this way and had no intention of leaving during our stay. Also, everything on the premise is quite pricy, plus services tax, plus gratuity. I have seen bad comment about the food, most place sucks at western food, so don't order a burger. This is thailand, have some thai food. Every meal was great! I highly suggest getting full thai meal for 2 or 4 peoples. Great varieties of dishes all based from region of Thailand. Everything was delicious and I discovered new favorites. If you can book translation on your own, you will save a bit as it was quite cheaper than the options we got from the resort.
