Wonderful. The site is amazing, the staff is caring, the room was out of this world. I enjoyed the outside bathtub in the room, the calm mornings to listen to nature, the buffet meals, the breakfasts, the infinity pool, the beach, the massages, the frequent minivan transportation services around the site, the out of this world sea views. Only stayed 3 days and hope to come back again one day.

We stayed here for our honeymoon 7 years ago and could not wait to come back. This time we finally made it back with our 7 month old. It did not disappoint. We absolutely loved our time here yet again. Perfect place to relax as a couple or a family with small children. If you don't want to spend the $ for the convenience of food/massage/drinks on property, everything you could want is 1/3 the price a 5 min walk down the beach. This property is a phenomenal value. Just don't come like a spoiled westerner paying 3 star prices and then giving the property grief for not being exactly western 5 star standard. This is a remote Thai island and the price is spot on. We've stayed in 5 star properties from London to Dubai and we would take Santhiya over a lot of them any day. We can't wait to come back! Thank you! P.S. skip Phi Phi and do Hong Island 😉 you're welcome.

Very serene resort. Staffs are great But we found a couple or more cockroaches in the property and one of the bedroom has bed mites. Just needs to fumigate the place. Over all it was a nice place and experience we had.
