Positive Reviews
positive:
Unique and nature-themed hotel.
Guests describe the hotel to have either tropical or jungle environment. Santhiya Resort & Spa is situated on the mountainside, and it offers a mesmerising view of the bay. If you are looking for a place to relax, its nature theme is the right one for you.
positive:
Spacious and well-maintained rooms.
The room itself is spacious and well maintained that they are often mistaken as suites. Housekeeping is done every day, so you can rest assured that bathrooms will be spotless and the beddings will be changed regularly.
positive:
Fantastic spa caters to all guests.
The spa is well looked after, and the staff members make sure that each guest that comes will be provided with a wonderful treatment. A special hot stone massage can also be enjoyed on special occasions.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are difficult to reach.
There are rooms on the area that are too far and are difficult to reach. The timber walkways can be very slippery and dangerous to tread on when wet. The hotel is set on a high ground, and some guest even needs to ride a golf cart or a local wooden truck to reach their rooms.
negative:
Activities need a lot of spending.
The nearby island is wonderful, but you may need to spend quite a considerable amount to enjoy this remote location. Even speedboat rides to go to various locations are pricey. Remember that the hotel has a number of free amenities that are worth your time.
negative:
Insects are all over the place.
Because of its tropical location, the hotel is plagued by different insects that the management tries to eliminate. There were black and red ants on the walkways. Centipedes and mosquitoes appear in the night, especially in the water sports centre. Thus, it would be wise to bring an insect repellant.
