    Everything was perfect! I highly recommend Santiburi to anyone looking to indulge in a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure in one of Thailand’s most beautiful destinations.

    Exquisite Retreat at Santiburi Koh Samui: A Paradisiacal Experience My stay at Santiburi Koh Samui was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury and tranquility that truly sets this resort apart from others. Here are some of the highlights that made my visit unforgettable: The villas at Santiburi are a perfect blend of traditional Thai architecture and modern luxury. Spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated, each villa offers a private oasis with stunning views of lush gardens or the serene ocean. The attention to detail is evident, from the plush bedding to the well-appointed amenities that cater to every need. The staff at Santiburi go above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate special requests create an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Whether it was arranging excursions, recommending local attractions, or simply ensuring that my villa was perfect, the level of service was consistently excellent. Dining at Santiburi is a culinary delight. The resort boasts several restaurants, each offering a unique and delectable experience. From traditional Thai dishes bursting with flavor to international cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The breakfast buffet, in particular, was a highlight, offering a vast selection of delicious options to start the day right.

    I found the GM rather distant, although he did appear infrequently, I didn’t see him really try to engage with any guests, which I personally think is a real miss, but it’s something which has been lacking with the last few managers, but it’s very noticeable now. GM has introduced a transfer charge to the Santiburi golf course, this is a genuine disgrace, and will further distance the hotel from an asset, but I guess the GM really doesn’t care, until guests stop returning.

    The staff are brilliant, I’ve been to Santiburi quite a few times, and I have to say the staff in all departments make the holiday truly memorable. The facility hasn’t changed massively since I first went there over 10 years ago, but the villas are spacious, comfortable and clean, set in fantastic gardens.

    Sometimes the limited English of the staff made it impossible to communicate. We forgot some pens and a book in a restaurant, but could never locate it because the staff didn’t understand what we lost. Also, the staff could circulate more frequently to take orders on the beach (we had to go to the beach restaurant and ask for things to be delivered to our sunbeds).

    The resort is very beautiful. A very well maintained park surrounds the resort. The beach villa we stayed in was amazing and had a small pool. Just a few steps to the sandy beach. Beach is super nice. The water is not crystal clear but great anyhow. Breakfast was very good and there was a huge selection of food. Staff is very flexible, and if you want a smoothie with a flavour that is not available on the menu, they will make it for you. I tried the spa as well and had the best treatment of my life (and I had many) - the yoga facial with jade stones. A pregnant woman (unfortunately I can’t remember her name) gave it to me. It was heaven! Kids club is also good - friendly staff and lots of toys for the little ones.

    The resort is 5 stars. The only negative is that you need transport to go for activities or to go for lunch or dinner outside the resort. The neighborhood surrounding Santiburi is safe, but not particularly attractive.

    Santiburi is probably among the top resorts in Asia. The property is very well maintained and the gardens and landscaping are amazing. The beach and the beach service are top-notch. Our villa with a plunge pool was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is excellent with a wide selection of European and Asian dishes, tropical fruits, and eggs cooked to order. The service staff are accommodating and attentive.

    Not that I could think of anything particular, my family Of 6 may (or, may not) have inputs to that effect. However, they are not with me here at this time. I would have liked to see your poolside bar menu for lunch to have some more variety items.

    The variety was excellent & so were the preparation (s). I liked the cream breuilly in breakfast & the variety of cheese (my favorite being the Camembert). As additional variety me & my family would like to see some Indian preparation also, such as, parathas, puri bhaji, chile bhature& dosa for a change sometimes.

    Santiburi is a tranquil, exceptionally relaxing place. The stag went above and beyond, making everything seamless, allowing for myself and my partner to be extremely comfortable throughout the whole of our stay. The food was exceptional, facilities exceptional, the staff were so nice and polite. I cannot express how lovely our time was. In fact we found our stay so amazing we extended our stay, which reception and the staff easily allowed for. We spent our time playing golf, daily massages, dinners on the beach in the most fantastic environment. Thank you all at Santiburi for making our stay so enjoyable. We wish we never had to leave!!!

    Absolutely nothing. Which is very rare for us skeptics to say. But literally everything was just a paradise. They always made sure we were hydrated by offering complimentary water everywhere we went from the pool to the beach to our room. The wifi signal was strong and consistent. The staff were consistently so pleasant and made us feel so welcome. They had complimentary high tea every afternoon, ice cream trucks that rolled around everyday. Literally it’s just paradise.

    EVERYTHING!! 1. The food!! Whatever chefs they hired for Santiburi are clearly world class chefs who have made some of the most tasty food we have ever ever eaten. Especially with the chef at the Thai restaurant! They literally spoiled all other restaurants for us. You might think it’s a bit pricey but trust me once you eat it you’ll feel like the value is 10x. 2. The staff and hospitality. Their promptness and attitude made it feel like you were always their number one priority. It was our honeymoon and my birthday during the stay they went above and beyond to make us feel soooo very special. They brought us cakes on both occasions, sparkling wine, set up our room reallly cute and even gave us hand written notes. 3. THE SPA O M G. Len spa has our whole heart. We originally only went in for one couple massage and ended up taking a whole package for our stay because it was seriously the best spa experience you’ll ever have. We went 3 days during the week we stayed there and every time the service we received was BEYOND.

    The prices for extras were Western and quite steep. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the spa was lovely, but they came at a price! It is expected at a resort like this, but it does add up!

    An incredible resort. The staff were wonderful and super helpful (especially with dietary requirements). Highly recommend downloading the resort's app, where you can see a range of interesting daily activities the resort puts on, as well as the history of the area, ordering room service etc etc. We went slightly on off-season so it was quiet but the beach feels very private. We had a great stay here.
