This is absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed in or even heard about. It is gorgeously situated on Koh Sao Island on an extended hillside over the ocean, which encompasses 7 hotel buildings over about 1/2 mile, Everything is gorgeously appointed with teak carving throughout. Private balcony with soaking tub. It was the perfect place for our honeymoon. Retaurants are wonderful with eacj table open to the ocean, 2 wonderful pools (infinity and waterfall), plus paddle booarding, kayaking, snorkling, visiting monkey islands, elephants -- pretty much anything you want. We are definitely going back for our anniversary.

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
