Excellent property and people. Service was not up to par but people were very nice and pleasant. Food was good but not up to standard for the type of stay and way overpriced.

I had been staying in Phuket before my stay at the Santhiya so I took a taxi to the Marina and had arranged to take the speedboat as required. However, I was not given any information on where to meet the speedboat or if I was supposed to check in with any hotel staff somewhere. I was able to find the speedboat thanks to helpful people around the marina, but the staff at the boat kept asking me if I had checked in. They were not able to tell me where, and after some walkie-talkie and telephone discussions by staff, someone was able to find my name on their list and I was able to board the boat. I do not know if the Sanythiya has a procedure for checking in guests who have not taken the airport shuttle, or if I missed a desk/office at the Marina which belonged to the Santhiya but no one was able to direct me elsewhere. Keep in mind that Check-In at the Santhiya is 3pm, and if you arrive before that time your room will likely not be available yet! The hotel staff take your luggage when you arrive off the speedboat so while I enjoyed an hour or so at a restaurant getting lunch and waiting for my room, I would have enjoyed my time more if I had grabbed my swimsuit first. I wish the Santhiya had encouraged me to book a later speedboat so I would arrive when my room was ready. The facilities are fabulous and the buffet breakfast was always a very welcome sight. I can't rave about things more than everyone else already has so just trust me that you will have a fabulous time here.

This is a hidden gem! Excellent service from the moment I arrived to the moment we left! They made it truly a wonderful vacation. Only thing I would let people know that there are a lot of kids around the resort. It didn’t bother us personally, but if that is something you are not looking for would not recommend. Really enjoyed personally!

Before I begin, I want it to be clear that the staff and workers of the resort were extremely kind and nice. But that place was the worst part of my trip in Thailand, least, absolute least favorite part. Very beautiful though. There was something magical about the view from the infinity pool. I could have stared at the horizon for hours. The Muay Thai classes were a lot of fun. But we were very grateful to leave that resort. We just really thought it was overpriced food and ridiculous the boat ride to and from the port was not included. Think the resort should provide at least one ride there and one ride back for free. I did like that I was able to use WhatsApp and contact the hotel people whenever though. I had a mosquito issue in my room and whatsapped them and with in 5 minutes some dude sprayed our room. And there was a really cool monkey who may have stolen a bottle of Fanta (I’m assuming he wasn’t the original owner). But we only saw him one time. If I had seen him more I would have given more stars. More monkeys please and establish a 7eleven in the resort. Or a free shuttle to the village where they have a 7eleven.

Not a big problem but we had a squirrel or mouse digging in the ceiling for 2 nights, we did report it and the staff were quick to see what they could do and offered to move us, but we decided to stay and put up with the local wildlife
