    “Great price, great resort”

    Santhiya is really a great resort and definitely the best in yao yai. It's beach is very long and the cleanest on the island. Staff are cleaning it on a daily basis. Whole resort shows incredible amount of labor. Everything is hand made, in house and everything has so much detail. You need to see it to understand and appreciate it. Staff is very very kind and hard working. Breakfast is good, coffee is great. Free Muay Thai and yoga group classes are available. We tried both and it was very nice. Food in the restaurants were also nice. We had 2000 thb per night hotel credit and it was more than enough for us. We even had a Wagyu steak once with these credits. Food in general is very nice but just the Western food could be improved a bit. Local dishes were simply great. Another thing that could be improved is the threadmills in the gym. They are pretty old and when you are running, engine stalls instantaneously which is risky for your knees and hips. Every staff member were really really kind and lovely but Dee stood out of everyone with his next level kindness. Also I forgot to check the name of the barista lady at the breakfast who makes amazing cappuccinos every day. Hard to find in Thailand so her skills should definitely be recognized. We are also very happy to see that stray cats are welcomed and fed in the resort area. They are very friendly, just want some love and food. In return they keep the pests away and show you their purring love. I really hope they keep taking care of the cats in the resort. ♥️

    “It was a really special experience.”

    I had such a great experience during the quiet period (3 nights and 4 days). I went with my family, and it felt even more exotic since there were no Koreans around. Above all, I was very impressed by the kindness of the staff at Santiya. The free yoga program is worth trying at least once. I did it early in the morning and felt like the day was longer, which was nice. They also provide free paddleboards and kayaks at the beach, so make sure to try those. Additionally, the private island tour arranged by the hotel was quite expensive but satisfying! Activities outside the resort are limited, but if you want to relax and unwind inside the resort, I highly recommend it. However, the accommodations are a bit old, and since they are made of wood, there are some ants, so those who are sensitive should be cautious...
