We had a good overall experience during our stay at Santhiya Koh Yao Yai. The resort is beautiful, the staff were generally friendly, and the setting is peaceful and relaxing. Most of our stay went smoothly, and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the facilities. However, our last day was disappointing and left us with a negative final impression. The air conditioning in our room stopped working and was only repaired 12 hours after, which made it very uncomfortable. On top of that, the power kept going out throughout the day, and there was no Wi-Fi connection available at all. These issues made it difficult to rest or even plan our departure properly. What was more frustrating is that when we brought up these problems and asked about any form of compensation or acknowledgment, we received no response at all. There was no follow-up, no explanation, and no effort made to address our concerns. While we appreciated most of our time at the resort, the lack of support and communication when things went wrong was disappointing. It is unfortunate that the stay ended on that note.

This resort was amazing. Truly unbelievable. Getting to the island was just phenomenal. And once you set foot on the pier/dock, the staff greets you and the wonderful experience begins. The check in check out process is easy. The staff and crew treat you so well and are tremendously friendly. It’s also very easy to pay if you add any meals or want to tip because it’s all billed at the end so you don’t necessarily need cash every time you’re out. The island nearby is very easy to access and had wonderful halal food. This resort was beyond what we expected. Very clean, very fun, very spacious, very classy. My wife and I enjoyed this resort so much that we will be returning hopefully soon.

Some rooms are quite a long way from the main lobby and pool, restaurants, be prepared for a lot of stairs and waiting for transport to go to pool and main restaurants. The views are spectacular, the resort is beautiful, very big gorgeous pool, not a lot around outside resort, we stayed 4 nights and didn’t venture out, we stayed to relax and not do much, pool and beach. Very chill atmosphere. Would definitely come back but get a better room, as we were in hotel 7 so far away. And so many stairs.
