My experience at Santhiya Koh Yao Yai was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations.
1. Tranquil Location & Stunning Views:
The resort is incredibly peaceful, with a breathtaking location surrounded by nature. The scenery is simply amazing — a perfect escape from the noise and crowds.
2. Beautiful & Quiet Rooms:
The room was calm, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views. The private pool made the experience even more enjoyable.
3. Outstanding Staff:
Most of the staff were exceptionally friendly, kind, and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Their warmth really made a difference.
4. Minor Issue with Restaurant Credit:
There was only one issue during my stay — a misunderstanding with a restaurant staff member regarding the use of the resort credit. Unfortunately, the management handled it poorly by calling in the waiter to prove I was wrong. This approach was unprofessional and left a negative impression, which contrasted with the otherwise excellent service.
5. Amazing Restaurant Experience:
The food at the resort was outstanding — delicious, healthy, and with plenty of variety to suit every taste.
6. Fast & Efficient Transportation Within the Resort:
The internal transportation service was impressively responsive. On one occasion, I called for a buggy and they arrived even before I hung up the phone!
7. Highly Recommended:
I strongly recommend this resort to anyone seeking luxury, relaxation, and a unique experience surrounded by nature.
Final Note:
I would only advise the management to train the front desk staff to handle situations more gracefully. One negative moment should not overshadow the hard work and excellence of the rest of the team.

Very nice hotel on a quiet island. We had a villa away from the road, so we felt completely at one with nature. I think if the house is next to a busy main road, you will not feel such peace.
Amazing and varied breakfast!
Friendly staff.
The rooms themselves are shabby, but in this climate they are perfectly preserved. There may be stains on the walls, furniture.
The staff is not very focused on cleaning. They will change basic things, but they will not wipe away the dirt in the corners. And it is there, because you literally live in the forest.
Very important! On this side of the island there are very strong low tides and you can swim for a couple of hours a day. But you can take a scooter, the island has calm traffic and few cars. On the other side there is a great deserted beach without low tides.

The room is quite large, there are three swimming pools, and the exclusive beach around it is very nice. It is convenient for catching sea babies and I like it. It is very suitable for a leisurely vacation.
I bought a two-day package and the hotel is responsible for picking up and dropping off from Chong Lard Pier. The staff's service attitude is good and they can remember every resident. I stayed for three days and two nights. I didn't meet any Chinese tourists. Most of them were white people. There are local restaurants nearby. It was quite a lot and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately, the family was a little acclimated and had a poor appetite, so they didn't eat much. The sand digging tools for children in the small shops around are a bit expensive, so it is recommended to bring your own

The hotel is on the island. You need to take a boat to the pier at your own expense and then take a taxi to the island. It is a small single-family house. The hotel staff are very polite and friendly. The beach is just 10 to 20 meters in front of the house. Although it is May Day, there are almost no people. It is a very quiet place. There are European and American tourists. I have not seen a Chinese person in the seven days I stayed. It is a good place to escape from the world and lie down.

Amazing food, perfect hosts, stunning view, remote and beautiful location with few tourists. The perfect place to relax and the perfect base from which you can explore the island.

The hotel is nice but I should have realised from the photos it would be over-run with screaming kids! The beachfront location is stunning and the beach is lovely and clean, walk down to the beachfront early if you'd like one of the hotel loungers brought onto the beach, it's very peaceful until the loud families and Russians turn up a bit later! The breakfast was basic, I would like to see more choices, a bigger selection of fresh fruit and better coffee machines (they were constantly breaking during our stay). The restaurant menu wasn't that great, and the staff in the restaurant were not very attentive. There are a selection of lovely local restaurants and cafes nearby that have much better food, I'd recommend trying some of them, all walking distance. the room was good, although nowhere near enough shower gel, shampoo etc for two of us to use, thankfully we brought our own. No sound proofing from other nearby rooms which was annoying when we had to sleep early and the neighbours were awake until 3am on their balcony. The lagoon style pool around the resort is a great idea but not great if you don't want screaming kids splashing around outside your room all the time, even late when the pool was supposed to be shut. All in all it was a nice stay for families but as a couple we would not book here again as we prefer more peace and quiet!

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face!
Can see amazing sunrise from the terrace, nice garden, private beach, terrific services, hospitable owner, wonderful 3 days spent there. Will come back again!
PS: the hotel owner provides car pickup and delivery services, they make sure your boat has arrived before they leave the dock.
The suite voucher I bought on June 18th cost more than 3,000 yuan for three nights, including two breakfasts, including round-trip adult tickets from Phuket to Koh Chang, only adults are included, and children have to pay 200🐷 separately. There is a car to pick up at Koh Chang Pier. There are rich breakfast varieties, many kidsclub activities, and a buffalo is raised for children to feed and wash. There are not many people, it is very quiet and suitable for lying on the beach to relax. The guests are mainly Europeans and Americans. The service is very good, and there will be service staff to ask if there are any needs in the morning and evening. The ghost crabs on the beach are protected animals and are not allowed to be caught.
