Beautiful resort, food disappointing
Beautiful main building with excellent rooms with their own pool! Staff were great and always willing to help. Food a little disappointing as it is the same menu for lunch and dinner and although it says two restaurants it is really only one. Lovely beach and pool.
Santhiya Tree Resort - Very Impressive Luxury
It's amazing that we managed to book a pool bungalow at high season (February). A beautiful luxurious accomodation with shared pool. The woodwork (which I believe is Teak) in our bungalow was stunningly beautiful, complete with work desk, sofa futon and a living room with an awesome flat screen TV. Also we loved the furnished patio and clean, crystal clear swimming pool. With these bunglaw suites one doesn't even have to bother going to the resort's main guest pool near the beach. We had the pool all to ourselves because our neighbors were gone much of the time. These bungalows are the height of luxury, including having their own Jacuzzi. The gorgeous Jacuzzi was our favorite. And the grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. The resort has that jungle vibe with so many song birds and natural beauty surrounding it. And the unique and elegant architecture of the main hotel building and cabins and bunglalows is another reason to book accomodations here. And the beach too is just beautiful. Lots of activities in the area, including paddle boards and tour boats. I highly recommend. The Santhiya Tree Resort will not disappoint.
Loved every part of this place except for the bed... pretty uncomfortable
Beautiful
Vackert och annorlunda hotel
Väldigt fin och annorlunda hotel. Vi bodde i huvudbyggnaden med eget litet pool och utsikt mot floden. Vackert utsikt att vakna till varje dag. Personalen är så trevliga och vänliga och väldigt lyhörda. Miljön är vacker, välordnad och trivsamt. Vi trivdes jätte bra och har ingenting att klaga över.
Perfect hotel
Don’t be fooled by the pretty pictures!!
Don’t be fooled by the pretty pictures! The pools on the balcony’s are freezing cold and can’t be enjoyed as expected. Sunbeds are falling apart, and rotting wood in the showers and in balcony. Higher priced food & drinks which all come with a 17% service charge/tax applied. 1 mile from main road, they do have shuttle bus 5/6 times a day otherwise it’s a good 15-20 mins walk.
If you get a pool villa they turn your pool pump off at 6pm
Breakfast not good
Amazing resort
Amazing resort, very well designed and decorated. All staff are super kind and friendly. Food and drinks were outstanding for us. Thank you for a perfect week.

Very private and safe area. Room service top notch.
Location is great granted you hire a scooter or don't mind paying for taxi's. It's in the middle of the island so it's a short drive north to White Sand Beach or south to some other bars/restaurants/shops but close enough to some great local bites and bars. All guests are equal, meaning this resort isn't tiered, you pay more for the Villas which are bigger and give you direct access to a shared pool. Or you get an amazing hotel room with a personal plunge pool which is perfect thing to come home to after a day of exploring in the South East asian heat. Thai people are famously easy going and friendly, Santhiya staff live up to that reputation and then some. Lastly, its as good as the photos. Book in confidence.
This hotel is amazing! It's very beautiful and unique, the whole place is made out of timber and has this incredible smell to it. The breakfast is great, lots of variety and good coffee. The staff is very helpful and polite. I highly recommend Santhiya Tree and definitely would stay there again if I go back to Koh Chang.
Worth a look
A beautiful, older resort in the low season which could use some refurbishing and additional wait-staff. It's quiet, out of the way and was once gorgeous. Now it needs a coat of varnish. The hot water in the shower works very well, if you can figure out how to manipulate the faucet. The main restaurant needs more servers, so things like silverware aren't forgotten when the food is brought out.The bottom line: it's quiet, and like stepping into a few hundred years ago. I would consider going back, though it's not perfect
Happy to stay here
Nice hotel for couples with friendly staff. The main building is all in wood with unique style and has nice pools for each room. I think these rooms are best. Staff including Sonya were helpful in fixing small issues. Gym better than before but could have a bit more weights and bench. Both pools nice. Breakfast nice. On nice part of clean beach.
Quiet room. Had pool right putside the door. Beautiful facility.
architecture and old Thai feel.
Building and architecture is amazing. Pool room is a must. Food was good, but dinner needs more thai dishes even like thai curry or chicken satay. Staff are very good and reception. Service staff in dinner hall thank you for all you did to support food needs and birthday
Beautiful hotel. Almost every room has a pool. Great staff. Rent a motorbike
The location is superb with numerous pools and oceanfront access however the staff is what makes this place really special.
Beautiful carved wood buildings.
Området og placering. Dejligt stille og roligt. God udsigt.
Beautiful property with unique interior designs and great staff.
Quality of food excellent in all dining areas,rooms kept clean and tidy ,staff very friendly and helpful overall a lovely place to stay only thing negative is needs a spruce up in some areas. Had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay for 10 days 😊😎
The property is a beautiful traditional Thai architecture themed property that is quiet and secluded. It is a little inconvenient in terms of location to other shops and restaurants but the hotel provides shuttle service to the main road. The staff and service is amazing.
Amazing
Beautiful decor throughout. Stunning location and views. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, varied, well presented. Gardens and pool area were spectacular.
Very friendly staff, clean and well organized.
A great place to stay if you want to be alone. Next to the beach etc. I stay in a villa type room for two nights and asked to change to the pool room over looking the mountains. The hotel was able to help me with that. However the hotel located around 1km drive from main road where all the local shops is. I believe the hotel offer a mini van pick up and drop off. I used a scooter to get around, the island are very hilly you need to be a confidence rider if you want to rent a scooter.
Need to update the private villas bathroom shower area. Also need to return breakfast to the beach area like it was a few years ago. The beach breakfast was better.
Nice hotel with limited facilities.
Friendly staff. Limited facilities as pool bar closed and only one restaurant available. Hopefully more will open soon now tourists can travel more freely. Breakfast average. Rooms clean and spacious.
Love love love. The best stuff ever❤️Very friendly and helpful. So beautiful and clean area, very peaceful and quiet. amazing breakfast with life thai music. Also they play life music and traditional dance for dinner. Best place for relaxing
Santhiya Holiday
Resort was a little difficult to locate from the main road. Restaurant food was a little disappointing. Breakfast was very good though
Paradise.
The most beautiful tranquil location. The gardens are beautiful and the many water features add to the tropical paradise. We are already planning to go back.
The location was nice
The private villa was superb!
Fabulous!!
We absolutely loved our stay. The hotel was stunning and the grounds were kept immaculate. The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely stay again.
Excellent stay
Excellent hotel, beautiful view of river and mountains at breakfast. Amazing view of sea from restaurant and bar. Excellent rooms with good amenities. Only problem was the slow service of food. I think hotel was a little understaffed. Overall an excellent hotel and really enjoyed my stay there!
Fantastic. Unbelievable. Top class.
Definitely one of the best resorts on koh Chang. I stayed in 2 rooms. First was the pool suite river view. Fantastic room with unbelievable views of the river and mountains. Good size. Private pool and bathtub facing the mountains. Nice size bathroom. Second was the pool access villa. Another fantastic room. Nice size semi private pool only 3 villa’s can use. Good size room with a great layout. Big bathroom with a custom built whirlpool bathtub. Great restaurants with delicious food. Brilliant big pool by the beach. Staff was excellent always friendly and very helpful. Fantastic service. Done everything they could to make a memorable stay. It was my birthday while I was their and they done a romantic dinner for me and my girlfriend by the beach. For me this resort is 10/10. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Private pool..private Villa but no beach front.. breakfast was good
Although not 5-star international standard as we had expected and experienced at other Santhiya locations, the "pool suite" room was very beautiful and comfortable. (Rooms in this category are newer and were in much better condition than the upgraded "villa" category.) The manager and staff were very kind and courteous and tried very hard to improve the quality of our stay. Rainy season is not an ideal time to visit Koh Chang so we encountered a few kinds of "wildlife" in our room. Excellent mid-range resort on lovely, well kept grounds and a nice beach, but head to another Santhiya location if you're seeking a high-end experience of exclusivity and luxury.
Booked 2 nights stay for my mom and it turned out to be her fantastic experience. Got a huge discount rate from Expedia but all the experiences were 5 stars. My mom got the upgraded room for the first night but she requested to go back to the original room for the second night for a change. Both room types were awesome from her feedback (Hideaway Pool Villa & Pool Suite Water View) Good service, nice breakfast with live music (traditional thai music), very clean and well-manged space in the rooms, friendly and responsive staff. I'd definitely book again but it will be for myself next time :)
What a gem! Best resort I have stayed on in Koh Chang. I have stayed in 7 different places & this one was the best by far!
This is a beautiful hotel in every respect. I can’t wait to go back.
We very much enjoyed the private pool within our room.
Wow, what a great place to stay. Suggest you stay in the Villa Pool rooms. Breakfast was fantastic, Dinner was good but could have been better. One frustrating point is that they kept moving the time for Happy Hour. Lastly the staff was outstanding especially the front desk, they were very helpful arranging transfers for us.
Great, quiet, beautiful. Excellent montains see and beach front side. Very confortable.
staff were so courteous and very helpful particularly as i was unwell for part of my stay.rooms were lovely
Wonderful rooms - great beach - excellent staff. Food is expensive and so is the beer compared to restaurants just off the property. The included breakfast is world class. This is our second time at this resort and we would return. Note: one of the staff - Piya- on the front desk has terrific English and knows how things work there - she is a great asset for this resort.
Phenomenal Resort
Quite simply the nicest place we have ever had the pleasure of staying at and we have stayed a lot of places. We stayed in the palace sitting at the back of the property away from the beach but it was a good trade off since we had a pool IN OUR ROOM! Not only did we have a pool in the room but had an amazing view of the waterway behind the property and beautiful hillside behind that. Breakfast buffet was among the best we've ever had as well with many choices that should be able to accommodate even the pickiest of eaters. Free paddle board rental was a nice way to explore the water. Be warned this resort is a little ways off of the main road but completely worth it. There is a free shuttle that will take you in to the main road if you want to go to a bar, restaurant or shop. You could walk to the main road if you really wanted to but it would take you a little time. Staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating.
Very quite resort Used it as a base for diving Staff very friendly pool villa very cosy would stay again Overall a nice resort
It was my third time staying in this property and probably the last. Copare to other available options on the island I do not feel that I was getting the best value. What is good: * Bech is nice * Grounds and architecture is impressive * Friendly and helpful staff What to my opinion is not so good: * Food in general * Breakfast, inconvenient location, poor selection of foods and unusually inconvenient display of food * Impressive rooms to look at but very inconvenient to live in.
Lovely buildings, great location and really friendly staff. Great place to stay.
Food and cocktails very expensive, much more than I would have ever planned. I have been to Thailand twice before
It is an excellent property...in a secluded area. Perfect for a quite vacation.We had an excellent experience barring a couple of things: 1. The breakfast should have a menu that suites Indian tastes too although we are quite liberal in our taste ...still we felt it. .2. The food served at the beach side restaurant of the resort was not upto the mark at all. It needs lot of improvement. The chef should be more careful while cooking.
Holliday 2019
Service from those who worked there was very very good. We were well received by everyone who worked there. The breakfast was very good. The only thing we really have to postpone was the Grill Day we joined at the beach. The grilling they served there was awful.The food we were served was not edible..The entertainment was so-so.So this was really a totally wasted evening. But otherwise all in all we were happy with our stay there
Secluded location with great view of the mountai s, lake and jungle.
The best hotel in Koh Chang
I definitely recommend this hotel if you travel Koh Chang. The hotel has it’s own beautiful beach and surroundings. This hotel is located 1 km away from the main road but free shuttle bus service is available. The breakfast was also great. All staffs were nice. The best thing I had while I was there was complimentary kayak and sup board rental service.
I loved everything room clean helpful staff, breakfast very good and pool area so clean The thing I don’t like: bathroom does not smell good. And while breakfast was good, other meals at the restaurant were not very good. Songkran buffet was bad.
As one was in best resort in Thailand , this was the worst service ever !!! Not recommend at all this resort . The team was block mind and they don’t mind if I will sleep in the reception under them mistake while they supply room not acceble for me and they didn’t mention the building is under concrruction . The food low level for the money they charge and they charge extra 10% for service , so Expedia 10% for food not worth is nothing and Expedia provide it only For one time use. Also Expedia service was very leak and I will never use them agagin since they not support them customers at all!!! No matter even if you vip account in them platform . Recommend for others platform that they support much better then Expedia while you have problem
Location directly on the beach, no party resort, Great breakfast and nice restaurant. Best was the speedboat transfer
One of the most relaxing hotel breaks I've had
We really loved this place, the individual villas are fantastic and comfortable, the pool area and bar/restaurant are also great. Fantastic massages at reasonable prices are also onsite, with the sea in the background it makes for an amazingly relaxing experience. Add to this a private beach with complimentary paddle board and kayak hire there wasn't any more we needed. Like everywhere in Thailand this hotel suffered from being overstaffed, more people does not mean an improved service and often when ordering food or drink things were wrong or empty glasses and plates not immediately taken.
This is a beautiful oasis in Koh Chiang. The staff is wonderful, the food amazing and the accomdedations lovey and well appointed. The resort is right on the beach, sunsets are stunning! The buffet breakfast was one of the best I have had in a long time, Thd staff goes out of their way to meet your every need. PJ and Bee are perfect examples of staff that care that your stay is a memorable experience! A plus ! Thank you.
Pool access villa
Great location beautiful hotel setting, very relaxing.j
Not great
Hotel is under renovation. Staff need training and food is lousy
Overall a good holiday hotel with excellent staff. Restaurant disappointing. Beach side location away from main strip. Stayed in one of 3 Hideaway Pool Villas which are joined together and next to restaurant and also impacted by evening entertainment. Villa good with own pool.
One of the best
This hotel is absolutely WONDERFUL cannot fault this hotel in anyway I will be going back next year
Perfect place for Couple. Staff is really very very helpful
Wonderful room on a great beach - fabulous staff. Well kept grounds and expert assistance with travel issues.
Nice hotel, friendly and helpful Staff. Facilities in good conditions.
Nice place
Great hotel, nice, clean and comfortable room. The staff was nice and helpful, spoke good English. The hotel is about 1 km from the road, where you will find restaurants and shops. Overall a nice hotel.
This hotel is listed as 4 or 4 1/2 stars but in reality it's closer to 2 1/2 or 3 stars, max. There were bugs in the bathroom constantly, as it is pretty much an outdoor bathroom that they threw a plastic roof over. We told the hotel about this the first night and they sent a woman over with a can of bug spray... Furthermore, the room itself is pretty rundown. You can see that this place could be nice with renovations but the wood on the floors is chipped, the paint is old, there are marks on the walls, and the furniture is very dated. I was really disappointed in this place, so much so that we even tried to change to a different hotel, only to find there were no real 5 star resorts on the entire island. The cherry on top was that a stray dog ran at us on the beach only about 200 feet from the hotel. The hotel is run down and honestly so is the island.
Nice
Will come back. Very attentive staff. Beautifull and spacious rooms. Not so much on the activity side if you have kids. Local area is good.
Weather fab.on the beach beautiful. Staff and facilities excellent.
Total relax :)
Great place for quiet a relaxing holiday. Very helpfull a friendly hotel staff. Furniture in rooms is little bit old, but dosn´t matter. Good room service, excellent breakfasts. Sandy beach is clean, enough space for relax on the beach or by the big pool. Happy hours 1+1 17:00-19:00.
Beautiful place right on the beach
Had a fantastic week here- staff are lovely, the food and facilities excellent. Right by the sea, but not too busy. The room was spacious with an exotic bathroom and the bed was so comfortable. Would happily return here again.
Absolutely great hotel
Probably the best hotel on Koh Chang! An absolutely lovely hotel set in an amazing location! The beach, pool and hotel accodation is stunning! The staff are all warm and engaging! This is a real find! I’ve stayed in some lovely hotels around the world and this is one that has left a real impression! Didn’t want to leave !!
Excellent resort
So much to like here. Stunning tranquil and aesthetically pleasing everywhere you look. Great drinks, food, room, smells. One down side is that they seem inclined to nickel and dime you for everything and can be callous in the process, which is saying a lot given the warm Thai culture. When we were leaving, we were interrogated as to the location of one of the beach towels because we had not put all the soggy wet towels back in the armoire where we had found them. Very strange.
Nice beachside resort with excellent service
This is a beautiful, but dated resort. Its best points are the location (right on the water) and service (all staff are excellent). The furniture in the rooms, the bathroom fittings and the like are old and need upgrading. The Wi-Fi was poor, and basically unusable on a laptop (it was better on my phone). The beach towels provided by the resort are not proper towels but more like big pieces of tea towel - quite disappointing for the money this place charges. The restaurant is very good, though not cheap. The breakfast is excellent (tho the cheese and bread selection needs more variety).
Relaxing vacation
Nice quiet place on the ocean. Beautiful grounds. Nice villas.
Generally excellent facility
Excellent resort with very pleasant staff. Incredible sea views. Good restaurant.
The best resort ive even been in krong phrao beach area!
The best resort in koh chang.
Everything was perfect! All the workers there were so nice and friendly. Room was just amazing! Own beach, nice swimming pool. Good restaurant, good breakfast! This is my 4th time in koh chang so ive been staying at many different hotels/resorts before ans this one was the best. Im coming back there in 4days again before i leave koh chang.
Best hotel on Koh Chang with excellent service
Beautiful designed rooms, waterfall in bathroom, perfect breakfast, beautifull beach. I recommend to everyone
Best place to stay in Koh Chang
Great hotel with beautiful beach. Spacious room with perfect amenities.
Wonderful stay at amazing resort
Our stay was amazing. What a gorgeous resort and the staff were so helpful and kind. They went above and beyond in helping to retrieve some personal belongings that we left behind in the lobby of the hotel. Everything about our visit was great. The views from the restaurant and the wonderful bathroom with a huge tub with a waterfall. Highly recommend this resort to all.
the room and service was good. the location is right on the beach but a distance from the main road.
Very nice and picturesque hotel with own beach
very nice and pleasant hotel, looks like from a post card. With very nice staff and good food. 9/10 would recommend!
NICE
Lovely hotel, great staff, lovely pool, excellent breakfast.
Beautiful place for honeymoon
Loved the place. Amazing service. Very helpful staff. Would highly recommend people to stay here when they come to koh chang
Perfection.
I can't think of a bad thing to say about this hotel. Staff were incredible. Room was beautiful. Right next to the beach. Food and drinks good. (Hotel prices, but still not unreasonable) loved every second there.
Perfect stay
Beautiful location, excellent staff, amazing ambience.
Traditional Thai decor
A very beautiful hotel on a fantastic beach although there is a shuttle service to the main road we enjoyed out stay once we had hired a scooter, to see more of the island.
Isolated, not for those wishing to explore.
The hotel is lovely, the beach very beautiful and quiet. However it is a long way from everything. This would be ideal if there was better provision for transportation. The hotel provides an extremely limited minivan service. Not sure if it is more regular in high season but if not then you cannot get out much. True the walk is only 15 mins but that can be sweaty in the day. Also taxis are common on the main road but not keen to go down the hump infested lane to this hotel. If the planned holiday is to sit by the pool and not move then this place is great. Quiet, beautiful and idyllic looking. However it is not conducive to seeing much of the island and increases costs. Given that we were in low season we were also disappointed that the hotel restaurant was not more competative. It is an expensive hotel but no need to be twice the price of other places. With high taxi prices it was still cheaper to eat out. We did get upgraded to the private pool rooms and they were lovely with enormous bathrooms. Gaps in the doors and windows did allow the wildlife in so it was necessary to improvise draft excluders. As it was low season the bar was not open and it was definitely lacking a central focus. However compared to some more modern hotels this was quaint, quiet and with great views. If a romantic couple this could be stunning, but kids, friends or younger types then there would be better options.
Quiet location
Catering staff went out of their way to cater to our birthday party. Decoration and food selections were beyond expectation. It made the evening a memorable event. Special thanks go to the manager of food and beverage.
Beautiful location
Perfect location in Koh Chang, with gorgeous beach. Instantly relaxing, rooms were amazing, especially the bathroom with the enourmous bath. Food was exceptional and the staff, from the housekeepers to the chefs, waiters and waitresses, Reception Team, all so friendly and helpful, we had a fantastic and very memorable holiday and would love to come back sometime!
stay at Panvion Resort
everything was fine except the Air conditional continually leaked water.
Not 4/5 star....but great location!
The setting for this hotel on the beach is excellent. The layout of the resort is also excellent and very pretty. The problem is that the rooms & bathrooms need up-dated to a higher standard to take it back to its former glory. As a resort it also needs more by way of entertainment as it is obvious that guests are going elsewhere to eat and drink. Excellent staff throughout but especially on front desk. The road into the resort also needs improving near the hotel and there should be more shuttles given the distance from the main road. I hope these comments are taken in a constructive manner as they are intended.
