Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Santhiya Koh Chang Resort is often described as a paradise, featuring calm atmospheres and immaculate gardens along a white beach, perfect for tranquil surroundings and consistently stunning sunsets. Guests particularly enjoy the pool villas, finding them beautifully designed and offering a private sanctuary, alongside a main pool right by the beach with crystal-clear water. Some guests have felt that certain aspects, such as a private dinner, were quite costly. Promotional dining experiences, enhanced by live performances, are also highly recommended.

grateful stay at a tranquil hotel

the beach location offered such serenity and silence nestled within a paradisiacal garden, and i found the main house in thai style with countless wood carvings very beautiful. the on-site restaurant was very nice, and there were many other good ones along the beach. the passion fruit cocktails are my new favorite.

our villa was very old, and there were a lot of bed bugs. i really don't recommend anyone to stay in this hotel.

my husband planned a surprise private dinner for me, costing 9,000 thb. the food was mediocre at best, with an appetizer of mashed prawns and a main course that awkwardly mixed seafood, pork, and beef. everything was overloaded with garlic, ruining any idea of a romantic dinner.
