Santiburi Koh Samui

We stayed for our honeymoon in a villa right on the beach (an upgrade, thanks to the hotel) and it was perfect. A very restful and enjoyable stay. The staff are super friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. The inclusive breakfast buffet is delicious. You never have to ask to have your room cleaned or replenished as the staff are very quick to turn beds etc. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and are a credit to the gardeners. We rented a scooter locally which is always a perfect way to explore.

We stayed at the Santiburi after a similar amount of time at the Ritz Carlton about 20 minutes away. I'm rating based on the price of the hotel at over £330 a night inc taxes etc. as it was the same cost as the Ritz Carlton. To be fair to the Santiburi the location is lovely, the beach is gorgeous and by far the best thing about the hotel. Otherwise I found it to be well below par for a hotel of its cost. The rooms and surrounding amenities were not sufficiently maintained or updated. The pool area is large with plenty of space but needs updating and this is the theme for most of the outdoor areas. The beach area is nice and the beach bar & restaurant provide the best location in the hotel for drinks and food. The food is ok, there was nothing particularly wrong with it but neither was it outstanding especially as it was not cheap. Cocktails were weak and not worth drinking. Lastly the service was average with a Thai smile. All the staff were pleasant but the service was very reactive instead of proactive. We paid extra for a plunge pool but wouldn't again. It was always filled with bugs and leaves. Plus the entrance to the pool was through the bathroom shower and was essentially a shower door with very small turn lock....this was the only thing to stop people getting into the villa and there was a large gap above the 'shower door' which ultimately let bugs in. Unfortunately there are plenty of better places to stay for the money

We stayed for 6 nights in January 2018. The location was excellent, right on the beautiful beach. The facilities, room and breakfast were terrific and the staff were all super friendly - after a few days remembering our preferences and names. Will definitely be coming back.

Good hotel with very friendly staff all around the hotel, very big swimming pool good for family and kids as well. But the room is a big too humid , guess the Airconditioning system is outdated, despite the overall maintenance is good. Beware of mosquitoes all around. The Thai restaurant food is superb and very delicious, but a bit pricey.

The accommodation and staff were perfect for our trip. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking fifor r a relaxing holiday.

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights with my family. Had a villa with a pool. Check in was welcome and easy. Staff took us to our villa. Large swimming pool and a well equipped sports complex. Breakfast especially the freshly squeezed fruit juices make for a great start to the day. Secluded beach with soft sand and relaxing hammocks. Beach house was expensive but quality is excellent.

We stayed for 8 days in the hotel, we are a family of 4 with 2 young kids we stayed in one of the villas that had the perfect size for us. We had a great experience, the place is beautiful, the pool and the beach were amazing, we had the most relaxing time. Service was great, very friendly and helpful. I really recommend Santiburi!!

We had the best time ever, the facility is fabulous!

We spent a few nights at Santiburi during our honeymoon in Samui. The staff could not have been more accomodating and pleasant. The facilities were wonderful and the room was fantastic. All of their restaurants were great as well. I would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone traveling in Samui.

Lovely hotel, fab pool, very clean with friendly staff. Beach was okay.
