One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional. Thai hospitality truly is second to none, and every member of staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay special.
The rooms were beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully maintained with twice-daily housekeeping. We really appreciated the extra touches like the beach bag and flip flops, along with the spa-quality dressing gowns and slippers, which added a real sense of luxury.
We were also incredibly lucky with our room location. It was right by the beach path, so we could see and hear the water, but it still felt completely private with no constant foot traffic passing by. It struck the perfect balance between being connected to the beach and having a peaceful, secluded space.
Breakfast was a real highlight. There was an incredible variety, from authentic Thai dishes to plenty of Western options, all fresh and beautifully prepared.
The pool area is massive and really well designed. Interestingly, it was never busy as most guests tend to gravitate towards the beach, which made it feel calm and uncrowded whenever we used it.
What really stood out overall was the combination of outstanding service, a peaceful and uncrowded atmosphere, and a stunning beachfront setting. It’s the kind of place that feels refined but never pretentious, and perfect if you’re looking to truly relax and switch off.
An unforgettable stay, & somewhere I would return
We stayed 4 nights at Santiburi and loved it! We had high expectations and we were not disappointed. We booked the basic Duplex suite. It was huge, clean and a wonderful location for us. The pool is hands down the nicest pool we have ever swam in. Perfect temperature, gorgeous surroundings and sparkling clean. The sea and sand was nice and the overall beauty of this vast resort was stunning. We enjoyed cocktails in the lounge serve expertly by Best or Junior. They know how to pour and serve a proper cocktail. We ate at the Beach House a few times. Their French intern/student was a wonderful addition to the staff. So polite and helpful. Breakfast was just WOW! On all of our travels this one gets 6 stars for offerings, service and room to move. No pushing and shoving here.
If we had to a negative, it might be that we weren’t fully aware of entertainment happening at the resort. Some things we missed as they don’t advertise much. Also the pool restaurant offered excellent food and drink. They really should pick up dirty dishes around the pool more often. They would sometimes sit out for hours. Just a small complaint!
We would love to return to Santiburi one day and would definately recommend!
