Our second time at Shantaa, again we had a fantastic time. Food is extraordinary good.

An amazing place to stay. Service was spot on and food was delicious. A little piece of heaven on earth!

Beautiful setting, excellent staff, amazing food, food is one of the best we experienced in Thailand. Snorkelling off the beach is great. Eco friendly relaxed resort. We cannot wait to return.

One of the nicest hotels I’ve been in Thailand. The atmosphere is so nice and peaceful. The staff is very friendly and the location is really good. Rooms are clean and the outside bathroom is a nice touch. The only problem with the room is that there is no room for clothes and other stuff. We ended up using a chair for that. We rented a scooter and drove around the island for a few days but you could easily just stay in Shantaa for the whole trip - they have everything you need. Both of the restaurants are really good and they have plenty of options to choose from. Papaya salad is the best I’ve ever eaten and I could come back just for that. Maybe one thing worth mentioning is that they don’t have a breakfast buffet. Instead of that you have a breakfast menu and you can order whatever you want from the list. For some people it might be a disappointment but I hate food waste so I prefer this option. We will definitely come back!

Family owned and operated. Peaceful, clean, food was superb. Transportation arrangements "right on" A future revisit is planned.

Beautiful resort right on the beach. Hired a bike from the resort to see the island, loved it

Everything is good

An amazing hotel! Incredible location, super friendly staff and delicious food! Hope to be back soon!

Amazing hotel, clean peaceful rooms!Food is outstanding (Grilled fish is a must try on your stay). Staff is friendly and helpful, in particular Kai from reception who speaks perfect English Nothing negative to say aside from a lack of gym which can be found in neighboring hotel.

The resort doesn’t have pool nor TV. Not much a beach neither. However, It’s quite and spacious. Perfect for couples who want to get away from everything else. There’s a spot where you can watch beautiful sunset. The staff is very friendly especially Khun Kai.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Resort.Customer service was excellent!All my requests to staff were met with a smile and taken care of right away.The restaurant served great food and the menu selection was extensive- your choice of Thai and Western entries. The Resort beach although small has a nice swimming area with easy access to a rocky shoreline for snorkeling- we views dozens of species of fish on our swims.We are already planning our next trip to the Resort!

The perfect place to relax, eat great food, drink ice cold beers, soak up the sun and swim in the ocean. Paradise!!!

This hotel is honestly the best I’ve stayed at! The service, the rooms, the view and the food is amazing, It’s exactly like the pictures you see on the internet. The rooms interior is very nice and the patios are great with the beanbag chairs and the view. And the outdoor bathroom is stunning, it’s like taking a shower in the jungle. Could be good to know though that the “smaller” rooms have two queen size beds, it can be pretty tight. The staff is so polite and serviceminded and most speak English well. They keep track on what you order through out the days and you just sign the receipts and then pay at the end of your stay (wasn’t one error). They have the best Thai food, best we had on the trip! And for breakfast you get a menu with several choices witch you can choose whatever and how much you want from and they make it fresh for you, even the coffee is good! They have free bottled water and you take as much as you need.The prices are a bit higher then usual Thai prices but the quality and service make it well worth it! You can take a massage for 480 baht for an hour and you can rent a motorbike for 350 baht/day at the hotel to explore the island. But you also have walking distance to other resorts (although we never left Shantaa other then for exploring the waterfalls).This is the best hotel if you and your partner are looking to relax and add a bit of luxury to your trip, I can really recommend!

Wonderful relaxing stay. A great holiday for those who want to relax

I was absolutely impressed by its service and ambiance. I highly recommend this wonderful quiet place. I definitely will come back. Thank you Shantaa for making my vacation so special!

The setting was amazing. The food was excellent. The staff were super helpful.

Best place for a romantic getaway! Rooms are just as amazing as shown!

Fantastic resort, clean, luxurious, very nice location, quiet, unspoiled island. Friendly and service oriented staff. Almost all are very friendly (Thai smile), some are anyhow polite. Good facilities, great view over the Gulf of Thailand, the local pier is somewhat of a spoiler, but not a terrible issue. In the past this pier was used for logistics purposes, but we have not seen any of this during our 10 day stay.

This a magic place to relax, to enjoy your holiday the most. I have travelled the world in many years, seen a lot, experienced a lot.I have to say that Shantaa Resort have done an incredible work to create such a pleasant " Secret Escape" This is truely the place to choose for a perfect getaway. Don´t hesitate or wait..you will never regrate. Just enjoy! Lotta

Shantaa is a Hindi word meaning tranquility. It lives up to its name in every sense of the word. Yes, there is a concrete pier by the beach. It doesn't matter. Shantaa's beach area is clean.They provide snorkelling gear and Kayaks for your use and a beach bar serving food and drinks. The provide beach towels too. The marine life around the sandy beach and rocks is interesting. On the other side of the pier is a long sandy beach you can also move onto if you want. I bet you don't. We had one of the Shantaa Sweets. With a beautiful garden and sea view from our bed and veranda, we hardly moved from there. The beach is less than a minute's walk so we trekked down to it evey now and again for a swim. Their restaurant is renowned on the island. We didn't eat anywhere else, not to say there aren't other good places to eat and visit. Tranquillity

This place has everything and it's beautifully maintained...the only complaint I have is that wine prices are too high ($70 Canadian Dollars on the low end). + free use of Kayaks, SUPs, snorkels/masks, lots of free water in the mini bar. ++ Can rent scooters (you can get them cheaper off the property)

Great place and mid priced for the island. It is a first class experience for the location and an amazing romantic away. There is good relaxing snorkeling on site. They go above and beyond with their service and attention to detail. It is beautiful, quiet, well maintained, clean to western standards, and frankly exceptional. The food and drinks are great, however language barriers can make ordering curious, but never a problem. With my Issan wife it was hard to get the food it spicey enough for us. The Thai dishes are great, fresh, and well presented. The western food is good too, but like most places in Thailand, it's close to your expectations and if that's what you want you're in the wrong place. You can rent a scooter for 100 baht less down the road, but the convenience and safety of renting on site make it worth it. Loved it all!

Shantaa may not have a pool or televisions in their rooms but it is still a top notch resort. The grounds are well-kept and the snorkeling on the rocky side of the beach is excellent. The swimmming side past the pier has stunningly clear waters and when we were there in late May, the waters were calm. Food in the restaurant was deliciIous and reasonably priced. The view from our room was scenic and I could see the sea right from my bed. The staff were also attentive and friendly and we had an amazing stay there.
