Santiburi Koh Samui

Santiburi Hotel is on top of my list from my recent holiday travels. It is absolutely exceptional, the atmosphere inside, the location, the food at the breakfast buffet. The property itself is outstanding, located at the sea, in one huge tropical park. Every inch of it is taken care of, the beauty of this place makes me smile every time I think of it. In the near you can find plenty of small restaurants, food markets and shops. I have to mention the SPA that is absolutely special. I have taken the whole package and was treated with several massages, all of them done in utmost professional way. All Therapists and Front Desk Ladies (inklusive the Interns) were not only well skilled, but very friendly. You could see that they love working there and that they are there for the Customers. I give this place highest rating.

I came to Koh Samui to find a place where I can recover after a few stressful years. Wanted worry free hotel with great food and peace. Santiburi saved my vacation! I escaped a "fancy" holistic retreat where conditions were not what I expected. I went to Santiburi at the last minute, and the hotel provided pure relaxation! + Beautiful grounds, big, but you don't feel it; well designed. + Managment of this hotel is up to highest standards. + Villa I got was beautiful, no noise except birds singing songs :) + Managers were present at all times, walking around, chatting with guests to make sure everything was all right. + Breakfast amaizing, I loved the avocado paste and everything else :) + Staff, super friendly and easy to communicate with. + The cleaning lady in my villa was amaizing. Super friendly. When it was raining, she created a beautiful elephant from towels:) I was travelling alone, she made me feel like I have a mother taking care of me. + The bathroom, the bed, design of the villa - just perfect. Enough space to unpack, two wardrobes. + Sport activities, tennis, a big and very well equipped gym, yoga, dancing classes (for extra charge). + Spa packages (for around 15000 THB you get a package of 5 hours massages you can use during your stay, this way I had a massage every day!) + Spa very nice treatments and great staff. + Consierage - great too. + In general, nothing was too much trouble. + The food, I ate only two meals per day, because the portions for lunch in a beach restaurant were so big I was just not hungry for dinner. The food was amaizng, beautifully presented and not overpriced like in other hotels I stayed. + Room service, just great! + Female solo traveller, I felt very safe in this hotel. + In the previous hotels I stayed in Thailand I just felt I was not getting the value for the money I paid, Santiburi is different, I didn't feel they are trying to cheat me or overcharge me.

Beautiful relaxing beach surrounded by palm trees which give natural shadow. We had a villa with beach access. It was nice to make just few steps to go the beach. Great breakfast.

Loved this resort. Our modern grande reserve villa felt really luxurious and spacious. The room was clean and comfortable. The beach is fantastic! And the food and service were great!

Absolutely marvellous, peaceful and luxurious. Staying at Santiburi Koh Samui was the highlight of our weeks in Asia, when it comes to hotels. You start to relax the moment you see the facilities, everything is kept up to high standards, everything is spacious and the location is supreme. You're close to the beach and there's a main street not far away, which is a different universe. But you're on vacation, you deserve a break. This contrasts to other options on the East of the island, busier, perhaps fancier but for me nothing but concrete jungles. The beach is narrow but more than sufficient and supremely taken care of by the vast and attentive staff. The staff is another highlight here, you're never waiting long for anything, they're kind and knowledgeable. You also get a client relations person. The facilities are incredible, from a huge shallow pool to massages, restaurants and kids care. As we went off-season, it was luckily quiet. The breakfast is a feast and has everything you can imagine, from Thai specialities to French pastry, also fantastic fresh fruit and juices. The Wi-Fi is faster than most residences in Europe, in excess of 200 mbps, even in a sunbed. There are complimentary items like afternoon tea and ice cream hour. An absolute masterpiece and I look forward to go back!
