Beautiful!!!! The rooms were great. We stayed in the Seawater Villa, and have zero regrets. There's an outdoor tub and outdoor shower, a private pool, and a wonderful bedroom. The staff were so friendly. They bring all your luggage to you and truck you around the large resort area. It was a magical way to spend our honeymoon.
Our only suggestion is to make the checkin process more smooth. It took a lot of time. We had no bathing suits, and so couldn't enjoy the pool or beach and it was sweltering hot.

This resort was magical! The whole experience from getting to the marina, to checking in, having your bags delivered to your room, as well as having your own virtual personal assistant via WhatsApp shows that the resort goes above and beyond for their customers. Both swimming pools are amazing, with very little (or even none) chlorine in them. I also loved how attentive every single staff member was that I came into interaction with. Me and my husband stayed for 2 nights and felt that the price of food and options were very reasonable. I am a vegetarian and generally find it quite difficult to have a range of options available to me. This was not the case with Santhiya as they had lots of different vegetarian/vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner options. You also have access to a beach whilst staying at this resort and the ocean around November time was very warm! Overall, our experience was amazing and we would definitely return to Santhiya in the future.

Wonderful place, this hotel is quite luxury. We went in guest mode to eat and spent afternoon. We took transfer from parking to swimming pool and what a spectacular view on lagoon and Phuket island from there, my eyes big open ! We eat delicious food and after we took bath in the swimming pool. Prices for eat are correct but we saw rooms quite expensive. BUT when you take all luxury service, it's justified ! I put 5 stars for this exceptional situation, for sure it stay fabulous memories 👍

Rocky start, smoother exit.
Beautiful place but service is not really worth 5 stars. First, starting with a group check-in that they are unable to handle despite knowing exactly how many people arrive in their mandatory boat shuttle. It took forever to get someone to take care of us upon arrival to the island and get us our room. Second, they load you into the wooden truck and leave you alone - good luck finding your way. Luggage then took almost 2 hours to get into our room. Third, they seem advanced with their Whatsapp service but someone answers only every 30minutes and after many reminders so to get something done or an issue sorted, it took us on average 2 hours. Probably faster to take the wooden truck to the reception and back than waiting for their Whatsapp answer. Finally, all restaurants work as self ordering via QR code which may make it efficient but it also completely takes away any human interaction which makes it difficult if any issues with the food or drinks. On top, I personally find it very odd to only interact with a phone the whole time.
On the positive note, they did change our room to a better view as originally they put as above restaurant with very ugly roof instead of jungle/sea view as advertised. The place is very nicely designed with many picturesque views and plenty of sunbeds on the beach. Our departure via speedboat to a different island was also very smooth so that left overall better impression.

We loved everything about this resort. We had a room in building 2, this building was within walking distance of the restaurant where breakfast is and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. The room was good, the bed was very nice and the view was amazing! At first I was worried about insects because of the wood, however, we had no problems at all with this. The shuttle that goes to the pool and beach comes regularly, we only had to wait an average of 5 minutes. The staff is incredibly friendly and the pools are beautiful. There were a bit few sunbeds, but during the time we were there we could always find one. We ate in the "village" every night, 10 minutes walk from the hotel (from the reception). Recommendations are Mama Seafood and Harris. We also rented scooters in the village for 200 tbh p.p. for 1 day.
Furthermore, the hotel transfer from the airport was super arranged and at a good rate, especially since you get out directly to the hotel so this is definitely recommended.
We can recommend this resort to everyone, it is a fantastically beautiful and quiet place with still plenty to do.
