Came back to Santhiya after 6 years since we liked the property so much on our last visit. The views are still spectacular, the rooms and facilities luxurious. A few things have seem to gone downhill though and I hope the management addresses them: - Food was below average taste wise, especially when ordered for in-room dining - in-room dining came in takeaway utensils (plastic), if you wanted cutlery, you needed to pay extra - this is a cheap move (and certainly not eco friendly!). For a luxury resort to make guests eat out of plastic boxes in their rooms is just bizarre - all restaurant orders now need to be placed on a web app which is super buggy and frustrating. Also, a lot of the servers seemed very new and lost. They really need to fix the food situation at the resort, else we would be forced to look for other options on our next trip

Very beautiful & peaceful property. Beautiful rooms with awesome view, clean & peaceful. They have seamless communication via WhatsApp, they assign personal relations officer & responds instantly to your queries, very unique service for guests. Seamless checkin & transfer via speedboat from Ao Po Marina to resort & back. The only downside is food for vegetarians. No real veg options, anyone vegetarian will be starving there, as its on a Island which have limited food options outside resort. Many Indians visit here & vegetarians too. Even the veg food offered has smell/flavour of fish sauce! which is non edible by vegetarians. Also there should be drinking water refilling options for guests staying in Santhiya. If they take care of these things, the overall experience will be very pleasant & awesome. Overall if food is no issue, then its a must have experience for all sorts of guest; couples, families with kids, they have good kids area & kids pool.

Probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I was worried about staying here because we had to pick between this and Phi Phi due to the length of our trip, and I’m so glad we picked this. Was my favorite part of Thailand so far. The hotel is so beautiful, and where you breakfast each day has a panoramic view of the ocean. Food is great. We liked the green curry. The beach is quiet and serene. The whole resort is relaxing. But it also has options for excursions you can book through the hotel, including to see the islands in the bay. We ended up booking through the company outside the hotel to tour the islands by longboat and that was incredible.

The hotel was amazing. In the middle of the jungle, with the most incredible views above the ocean. Our ocean view villa was big and comfortable, and most important - quiet. The staff was super nice and polite. Not much to do but relax, but we had a really good time in the beach and the pool. Also the massage was great. The food was good most of the time.

Very pretty hotel and views. Food is mediocre at best. Check/in out is a pain. Restaurants are 30’ apart and the menu applies to both, but you can’t order some of the food even though it is on the menu. Would not stay again. Had to fill out a survey on the food while someone held an iPad at dinner — very awkward.
