Santiburi Koh Samui

This is an amazing resort. Everything about our gorgeous villa was perfect, From the selection of fruits welcoming us to the midnight dips in the private plunge pool. The management and staff are brilliant and attend to every minor detail. There is ample beachfront access and the spa is divine. We loved every moment of our Santiburi experience!

Nothing! Everything was perfect.

Everything. It was a dream.

That I can’t live there.

Excellent breakfast buffet. Great facilities, swimming pool and beachfront. The beach restaurant had fun entertainment after dinner. Walking distance from other entertainment.

We loved everything.

The room is great, staff is very friendly and helpful! The spa is also excellent.

My villa was supposed to be oceanfront, and I paid the oceanfront rate, but another villa partially blocked the view and a bar was set up directly in front of my villa. As a result, I could barely see the ocean. The pool also lacked adequate safety features for children, and the floor around the pool was extremely slippery. My children fell twice when we first used it. The kids’ club was just okay. Children under 4 require a nanny to stay with them, and the playground was quite small with limited activities. The resort staff were very helpful in arranging our tee time at Santiburi Samui Golf Country Club. However, after our round, the clubhouse required us to pay an additional caddie tip in cash, even though the resort had told us tipping was optional and we had already tipped all three caddies. One caddie assisted the player, while the other two were required to drive the power cart for our non-playing family members. If a percentage-based tip is required, it would be much clearer to include it in the fee upfront and explain the policy before the round. The golf course was also a significant disappointment. The promotional photos showed a beautiful, lush green championship course, but when we visited, there was very little green grass throughout the course, except around the putting green. The actual condition was very different from what was shown in the advertising.
