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!
