An incredible resort. The staff were wonderful and super helpful (especially with dietary requirements). Highly recommend downloading the resort's app, where you can see a range of interesting daily activities the resort puts on, as well as the history of the area, ordering room service etc etc. We went slightly on off-season so it was quiet but the beach feels very private. We had a great stay here.

The prices for extras were Western and quite steep. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the spa was lovely, but they came at a price! It is expected at a resort like this, but it does add up!

We’ve been to Santiburi in Koh Samui a number of times, the location, beach and layout are great, but it’s the staff that make this place exceptional.

Perfect honeymoon stay. Clean and crystal clear water at the beach! Stunning property with gardens and facilities well maintained. Excellent breakfast every morning. We will be back for sure!

Rooms are slightly older and could do with a refresh but are large and comfortable. We stayed in a garden villa with plunge pool.

The beach was amazing with possibility for long walks. Not all hotels in Koh Samui have such a nice beach - great sand and great for swimming and kids friendly. As one of the first luxury hotels on the island, the hotel is situated in one of the best parts of Koh Samui - incredible garden and beach. The beachfront villa was amazing and just next to the beach. It is the more expensive option, but I highly recommend it. The food at the beachfront restaurant was also excellent and there is a nice selection of fresh fish for lunch, but you can also reserve a fish for dinner. It is amazingly delicious, prepared whole, steamed using Thai herbs like ginger & lemongrass. The free ice-cream every day was much appreciated by our daughter. The hotel is also not far away from the Fisherman's village (nice restaurants and bars, marketplace every Friday evening) and not that far away from the Buddhist temples Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) & Wat Plai Laem. You can order a taxi by Grab mobile app (similar to Uber) or a hotel car (a little bit more expensive). I highly recommend this hotel to both couples and families.

facilities are very nice.

usually staffs are very nice but sometimes some staffs are not polite and kind. loud music at night till 24 pm.

Beautiful landscaping and grounds. Friendly bellman. Kids club was large and well equipped and there’s a playground with a trampoline. On a great strip of beach. Very nice spa that is reasonably priced. Nice ambience of the beach bar with dining on the beach. Had all the amenities you would expect. Happy hours at good times.

Doesn’t feel like a 5 star resort, because service was hit or miss. Staff at the beach and breakfast/beach bar were a little rude.

Rooms are spacious, hotel is not far from the airport. The beach is ok.

Rooms are in desperate need for renovation. Very old & dark. The pool is super old and not nice, same for most of the restaurants and there is not much else around the hotel. Some of the staff were quite rude or hadn’t a clue about what’s going on. Some were ok though. Breakfast buffet is mediocre at best. Way too expensive for what it is. Lots of nicer beaches are further away from the hotel.
