Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa Reviews

Enjoyed a wonderful stay at this resort, where the service was attentive and prompt. The staff was polite, friendly, and eager to assist with any requests. The view from my room was breathtaking, offering a stunning panorama of the surrounding mountains and ocean horizon. Overall, a memorable experience that I highly recommend.

Staff very friendly, helpful to fulfill my girlfriend birthday. They set up bed and give us a small cake. Breakfast has a little bit less option but anything else is perfect.

Must visit destination for sure❤️. Food is amazing. Seawater pool villa is beautiful. Services are good.

Great location and beautiful view from the room The infinity pool is breathtaking. I had experienced at Buffet night on Saturday The food is amazing, fresh and delicious Star to K.Best in buffet, his service mind is professional. And K.Dee the driver - he is always with smile and great service. The room is just wow, I like everything here Definitely come back one day.

Located on a separate island, it's inconvenient for getting around. If you like visiting other attractions, this isn't the place for you. However, if you're simply looking for a quiet stay in a sea-view room at the hotel, it's a good option.

The breakfast restaurant is gorgeous. The private pool in the pool room was large enough for a proper swim. However, I actually preferred the standard rooms, as they were cleaner and bug-free. The pool rooms felt a bit *too* natural for my liking – with an open-air courtyard bathroom, I was genuinely worried about snakes coming in if I needed to use it late at night. Overall, it was very good. Compared to other accommodations for island hopping in Phuket, it offers excellent value for money, though the sea itself here is quite unremarkable. They also provide a daily resort credit of 1000 THB per room per night, and it was really pleasant to still have almost 200 THB left over daily to spend on drinks and food.

I’d like to give a special compliment to Khun Sunny (the barista) at Santhiya Resort. He was very professional and made every cup of coffee with great care. The coffee tasted amazing — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. It was a wonderful way to start the morning. Thank you for the excellent service and warm smile every day!

Expected a lot more seeing that it’s a five star hotel. But I am not a fussy person, so overall we had a good stay. There are a couple of things I can complain about but already spoke to some staff. Swimming pools were absolutely amazing. And the breakfast buffet is definitely a must.

The most beautiful place with amazing views. The service is impeccable. Every positive review you read about this resort is true. I had a relaxing stay an plan on making this an annual trip.

Beautiful and large room. Perfect for vacation

The experience with Santhiya was great. We stayed in the seawater pool villa for two nights. The room was large and had everything we needed. The view was awesome and we could look at the peaceful sea without any obstruction. While we are vegan, we enjoyed the plenty of vegan options here. For the complimentary breakfast, there was even a corner for vegetarian with around 8-10 options. The staff were friendly and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely come again!

The authentic design of the resort truly reflects the local culture, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Every corner of the property exuded charm, from the beautifully crafted wooden structures to the vibrant decor that celebrated Thai heritage. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views, engaging activities, high quality Thai food, and exceptional service, look no further. I can't wait to return!

This island is magical! The service is second to none. The bars, the buffet was delightful, the accomodation is avant-garde yet caters to a higher end crowd. The private boat ride to the island and the arrival at the jetty is going to leave an indelible imprint in my memory ! The reef and fish are just below the jetty and there is the opportunity to see reef crabs. The resort is truly magical, a must find, a must see and something to be treasured. Those who love movies like the Beach, Jurassic Park, Deep Blue Sea, anything acquatic and that meets nature and natural palms could get lost on this island for days. Thr rooms are too creative and luxurious to describe, a must see, subject to availability. Thank you for the privacy, the luxury, the food and drinks and the kind hearted service of the Thai people. With the greatest appreciation

Everything is amazing here. We loved it.
