Response from Giulio Stix, General Manager at Santiburi Koh Samui
Responded 3 weeks ago
Esteemed Guest, thank you for taking the time in reviewing your recent stay at Santiburi Koh Samui. While I shall share your positive feedback with our SPA and Housekeeping Teams, allow me to respond you with regards to the price point of our Food and Beverage Value Proposition. While we are all globally copying with general costs increases at all levels (commodities, ingredients etc.) we are 100% aligned to the price point of any other hotel in our category on the island. “Santiburi” means “Village of Peace”: we are proud in keeping this sense of oasis when compared to the outside bustle, nowadays typical of every popular destination in Asia. On this matter, very few resorts on the island offer the same level of peace and quietness that Santiburi boasts. Having all that said, we shall take your comment extremely seriously in understanding if, by any chances, our pricing policy can - without compromising quality and accuracy - be reviewed, aligned and or improved. Should you decide to pay another visit in Koh Samui in the future, we would be extremely glad if Santiburi Koh Samui could be, once again, your first choice Sincerely yours Giulio Stix

Great Food at the Thai restaurant and also at the beach, charming service, the resort is dream. A beautiful garden with 30 years old plants and with a huge swimming pool. At the beach everybody finds a place - if you wish shadow or sun. A place to relax!!!

Santiburi is a wonderful tropical resort with a gorgeous beach. We had a fantastic week in Villa 606, the Villa was very well maintained so was the outside area. F&B was very good, executive chef Arnoud was present all the time and very helpful. All the staff of the resort was amazing. A true 5 star resort, we will come back.

Dear Guest, thank you very much for your kind review. Along with the entire Santiburi Koh Samui, which is ultimately responsible of keeping this place immaculate, I can only be delighted of the memories you have carried back Home. Our Food and Beverage offering is the result of a keen observation of our Customers needs and wants throughout the first 100% post pandemic year. At the time of writing, both our Pool and Beach menu have been enriched with an average of 25 additional items, making choice more varied...soon our fully operating Gelato corner and trolley will sweeten up the most discerning palates with homemade gelato, sorbets, sundaes and ice creams. I shall pass your enthusiastic words to the Team. While looking forward in welcoming you back in the near future, I shall remain sincerely yours

The grounds of this hotel are a testimony to the gardeners who work non stop to make the hotel look great, while the breakfast staff were great. Sadly however the waiting staff at some of the restaurants are not up to scratch. We had food at the pool and told them it had turned up cold, and the waiter then didn’t believe us so then decided the professional approach would be to try it for himself in front of us with his fingers. Suffice to say I was lost for words and from that point on decided to not eat at the restaurant (where the food is average and very overpriced). Only other comment (which have been made by other reviewers) is that the hotel has zero atmosphere where the bars are shut at 7pm and the restaurants deserted. Anyone visiting should factor into their booking that to get any buzz they will need to venture out to get this. Overall we left feeling disappointing as this was a very big holiday for us (joint 40th which we told the hotel numerous times and incidentally they didn’t do anything) as the price point is high for what was ultimately a pool villa with none of the other facilities up to scratch to then get a true hotel experience vs just pooling a villa in isolation at a much lower price point.

Responded 4 weeks ago
Dear David B., first and foremost, thank you for taking the time in writing a review of your recent stay at Santiburi Koh Samui. I am extremely sorry for not meeting your expectations. Santiburi Koh Samui is known for the great deal of tranquility and peace, as the translation in English language of its very name suggests Santi = "Peace", Buri "Village". As the resort will undergo a major renovation in 2025, we are striving to elevate as much as we can our value proposition. On this matter, we have completely reviewed our menus, aligning the value proposition to what our Customers have demonstrated to like throughout 2023. Our average rates and restaurant prices are comparable to those of any other property at our level of service. With regards towards entertainment, each of our evening at The Beach House boasts live music, while we have 4 times per week a Wine and Jazz night in the comfortable and cozy Lobby Lounge. We are working to extend operation hours of our Pool Bar along with an enhanced Gelato bar. Last but not least, I personally take care in writing a personal message to each and every guest celebrating an Anniversary - I am utterly sorry this not happened in your case.

What a wonderful week at the Santiburi, we were very sorry to leave. From the moment we were met at the airport, we knew it would be great here! This is a fantastic hotel with amazing gardens, an enormous pool and a gorgeous beach with (important for pale people) loads of shade! Our room was a duplex suite which was great and our room maid May did a wonderful job of looking after us and was very thorough and attentive. The beach staff, Bird and his guys were wonderful too, as were the breakfast staff, the restaurant staff and the receptionists. We felt very well looked after for the whole week and really wished we could stay longer, next time we will. We must mention the gardeners who work tirelessly to keep everything looking beautiful, it was an absolute pleasure to walk through the gardens every day. This is an extremely well managed and beautiful property in a really lovely place. The sea is perfect for swimming and the sand is like golden caster sugar. Thank you everyone, we will definitely return!

5 days in paradise. Perfect location fabulous staff and exceptionally well run Breakfast buffet ranks among best we’ve had. Not sure how full the hotel was but there was always plenty of seating on beach, by pool and in restaurants A minor housekeeping niggle was quickly resolved then followed up by a note of apology and a tray of canapés. Unexpected and much appreciated If I had any criticism it would be a slightly limited menu for dinner in the beach restaurant . But that’s a really minor thing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone A little slice of heaven

Dear Guest, thank you very much for taking the time to write such a nice review. I am extremely pleased in learning that all our efforts to elevate our Breakfast are not unnoticed. While I can confirm you that at the time of your recent visit the Resort was close to be fully booked, one of the unique features Santiburi Koh Samui grants is the generous individual space. Sorry for the minor glitch with your room, I am supporting the entire Team in embracing similar occasions as an opportunity to better connect with our Guests: glad it worked. As per your comment regarding the variety of choices at The Beach House, allow me to agree with you. The menus (lunch and dinner are different) you have experienced are the result of a keen observation of our customer needs and wants all this by not forgetting a proper storytelling to guide our patrons towards the best possible choice. Yes, more items need (and will) to be added. On this specific matter, to ensure that quality remains of the highest level, along with our Executive Chef, we have opted for a gradual enrichment of our value proposition. We can but promise you - and all those you will be speak about your vacation - that your comments not only are taken extremely seriously, but that a proactive follow up action will be put in place. With all that in mind, by hoping to have you again with us in your personal cocoon in a non-distant future, I shall remain. sincerely yours giulio stix

Dear Guest, thank you very much for your kind review. Indeed, Santiburi Koh Samui has this unique advantage over many other properties. I take the bullet to inform you that, as we speak, we are planning a major renovation of the kid's club and have a brand-new space available in few months. Further renovations at resort level are planned in 2025 to ensure Santiburi Koh Samui can retain his position as "Grande Dame of Hospitality" on the Island as it is doing for 31 years. Our improved breakfast will be enriched with additional Thai dishes over this quarter; however, I invite you to ask for specific needs and wants, we will always do our utmost to accommodate them. Sincerely yours Giulio Stix and the entire Santiburi Koh Samui Team

A fantastic stay at this traditional Thai resort. Direct access to a private beach with waiter service. Largest pool on the island. Staff are so friendly & super helpful, I had limited walking ability during my stay, one call to reception & we were driven everywhere. Food was beyond expectation. Daily afternoon tea which was delicious. Rooms are impeccable clean. We had a wonderful stay here.
