Le luxe discret… juste le bruit de la nature

− Isolement mais c’est la contrepartie du calme

Dit is vermoedelijk de beste plek op aarde. Wij hadden het enorm naar onze zin. Echt alles was top 👌

The location is perfect: all accommodations have a downhill view over the sea. There were +/- 25 accommodations, so there's a lot of space for the guests. The outdoor swimming pool offers a view over the small beach, sea. When the weather is not cloudy, you can even enjoy (part of) the sunset from the pool. The resort has several spots with sun lounges, all offer fantastic views over the sea. The resort restaurant is perfect: the best food on the entire island with a lot of choice (mostly asian & a little bit western food, we recommend asian food), great view from the restaurant over the resort and sea, Unlimited à la carte breakfast, for lunch we ate outside the resort but we had supper every evening at the resort restaurant. Consider the restaurant itself as part of the experience at Shantaa (that you can't miss!). The staff is very professional and has attention for detail. When we arrived at Shantaa, a staffmember immediatly took care of our luggage. During the smooth check-in, we received a cool drink and refreshing towel (in thai "phâa yen"). From day 1, the staff also knew our accommodation number by heart, this makes you feel as an important customer rather than a room number. On another day, we were sitting on lounge poufs in the bar and started a conversation with a female staffmember. After 2 minutes the conversation was still ongoing and she adopted a respectful half-crouch while speaking with us, so that we would be at the same height. To some people these things might seem trivial or details, but to us it felt like nonverbal courtesy that we appreciated very much throughout our stay!

− The opening hours of the swimming pool are a little bit limited. It would be really nice if they could extend those opening hours for example till 22:00.

Un hôtel magnifique dans un lieu paradisiaque ! Si vous voulez passer un séjour au calme, loin de l'agitation des touristes, c'est l'endroit qu'il vous faut. Le personnel est gentil et serviable. Le restaurant est délicieux.

Wow. What a beautiful, breathtaking place. Everything was perfect. Super clean. The scenery was gorgeous. Great pool. Friendly staff. Kai was very helpful. The restaurant was delicious. Breakfast is not a buffet but rather an order from the menu. It' s not listed as a 5 star but it is comparable to one. Absolutely one of the best hotels in Thailand. חברים. זה מקום מדהים ביופיו. נוף עוצר נשימה עם פינות ישיב שמשקיפים לים. משהו אחר לגמרי.

− No television but I understand why. No phone to reception.

We will come back when the weather is better!

We loved the atmosphere here. There were storms when we went there, so we didn’t get to enjoy swimming in ocean as the tides were too high, which was unfortunate. Despite that, we were still happy using resort’s facilities to relax and spend our quality time together.

− I couldn’t find the phone in the resort, so it was quite hard for me to contact them in an instance when I needed to ask them something. Since the resort is huge, it takes a while to reach at the reception. If you have difficulty walking, perhaps this is not the one for you.
