Sangthian Beach Resort

A beautiful beach and my boys loved the ability to use rubber rings to play in the waves. Be aware that if you take the speedboat you will be dropped off on the beach and may need help with getting luggage off a choppy sea! We were there in monsoon season and the staff did not seem overly helpful apart from the ladies at the main desk. The food was fine and the smoothies are lovely. Our room was fine and we enjoyed the stay but my friend's room was very damp and the AC did not work. Booked a try dive for my son through the hotel but it did not go well as no English speaking divemasters and dubious set up - no small kit to fit him, no pre-dive brief etc. It was not safe for my son to do the dive which was disappointing for him. Probably best to find a PADI centre there yourself and book direct. The resort is away from the busy area so you will need transport to get to the restaurants and activities around the island - the hotel arranged this for us.

Pros: location

Cons: service in the restaurant and bar

Location: It is away from the busy areas but within easy access of restaurants and bars by taxi/bus.

Theres nothing much to do in the resort, the room was ok, the bathroom was not, must improve. Sangthian beach resort is good for leisure family trip but does not promise any fun since its a separated area and theres nothing much to do but swimming and maybe wandering around.
