Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at Santhiya was truly impressive, featuring a variety of both Asian and Western dishes. The ocean view while dining added a lovely touch to the morning meal. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries which were good and set the tone for a fantastic day!

Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I indulged in a beach massage which was incredibly soothing. The spa staff were attentive and ensured a tranquil atmosphere. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the island and was well worth the extra cost.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The views from the rooms were stunning, and we appreciated being in a unique wooden structure. However, the check-in process was chaotic, and the dining options were limited with slow service. While the beach was decent, the noise from neighboring rooms and the mosque nearby made our nights less restful. All in all, we enjoyed some aspects, but there's definitely room for improvement.

7.0/10

The resort offers stunning views and beautiful architecture, making it a picturesque getaway. While the villas are spacious and lovely, the high volume of guests detracts from the peaceful experience one might expect from a luxury resort. The service was inconsistent, with some friendly staff and others lacking warmth, and the reliance on a bus system can be inconvenient. Overall, it's worth considering, but be prepared for some drawbacks.

Rooms

The villas were spacious and adorned with exquisite teak wood details, providing a luxurious atmosphere. However, our room was located near one of the main restaurants, resulting in some noise disturbances during the evenings.

The resort features impressive facilities, including beautiful pools and a lovely spa, though the spa prices were on the higher side for the area.
