A beautiful little resort with impeccable service and great food. Our stay here was wonderful. The hotel's private beach is small and rocky but a few minutes walk from the hotel there is a nice long sandy public beach, so you have options. The dinner here was the best meal we had on the island for our entire trip on Koh Kood. Breakfast was also excellent. The bathroom is completely outdoor, but we didn't have any issues with bugs. The room was beautiful and the grounds of the resort are very well kept. Overall, we totally recommend Shantaa and would come back if we go to Koh Kood again.

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!

Best hotel I’ve stayed at
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!

Fabulous
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.

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.

The most incredible place
We had the most amazing time at Shantaa and it exceeded all our expectations. The room was comfortable, clean and had incredible views of the ocean and palm trees. The staff were wonderful and nothing was too much for them. The restaurant menu is fabulous and we had the best food we had on our whole trip to Thailand. The hotel’s private beaches are gorgeous and perfect for sunbathing/swimming and the main big beach is stunning and only a few steps away. There was a nice mix of couple and young families staying but the grounds are so large (and beautifully kept) that it never felt busy. A really special place on a beautiful island.

No Hotel beach to speak of
More of a retreat. No pool, no TV, no atmosphere anywhere. Not a bad hotel, just not for us. We like a bit more life. Needs a pool as the beaches connected to the hotel are very poor. If you get a scooter, beware of the 'road' into the hotel as it is very bumpy and if it has rained, don't do it....walk with scooter as you will come off.

Paradise.....!!!
The Shantaa resort has got everything just perfect! We went for 3 days as part of our honeymoon and the second we arrived we wished we had booked longer! The grounds are beautiful, the beach is idylic, the staff are wonderful, the food is the best Thai food we've both ever eaten! And it's all good value for money, you get free bottled water all day, the whole resort it's stylish yet homely and so clean! We loved it and thank everyone at shantaa for an un forgettable 3 days of paradise!

Luxury and class with soul
This is truly a special place. Initially booked for 2 nights and extended for a week. Lovely rooms with gorgeous bathrooms. Breautiful grounds. The decor is really deliberate and thoughtful. Staff is beyond excellent - so helpful, attentive and lovely. Food is fantastic. I could go on an on. Excellent place, especially for a couple or anyone seeking beauty, luxury and peace. I would honestly question the character of anyone who didn't fall in love with Shantaa. If you can afford it, stop looking and book now.

Shantaa Resort - Relaxing Island Getaway
Shantaa Resort on Koh Kood is a great place to go in Thailand where you can go for a quiet, relaxing island getaway. The room we stayed in was a free-standing hut that was clean and had AC and indoor/outdoor bathroom, which was really pleasant. We had a front balcony with lounge chairs where we could read and watch the sunset. Clean room with house cleaning every day and fresh towels always provided in the room and at the beach. No TV. Internet signal not always strong, but satisfactory for our needs. Restaurant served really good food. We explored other places to eat, which there are, but nothing exceeded the Shantaa restaurant. The resort takes pride in the landscaping and they have full time gardeners always tending to the grounds. The staff was always willing to help and very friendly to all the guests – we particularly liked the staff. We surveyed some other resorts on the island and feel this is the best place for quiet, clean, relaxing time, with nice beach and good snorkeling right in front. Kayaks at the beach for exploring. Motor bikes for those wanting to explore the island. The ownership obviously makes an effort to keep the resort a quiet and a pleasing “island experience”. Not a party destination but do come if you want to relax, have a beer/lunch at the beach, and eat at a scenic restaurant with notable food. You could stay at the resort and never leave the grounds and have a great holiday. We chose Shantaa from the reviews and we agree - 5 stars!

Paradise and tranquility
Shantaa is the most peaceful place i have been in thailand - its very private and even when the resort is fully booked it seems like there is four of five times more space than required. This makes it very special and magical - the staff are excellent and the food is also great ! Beds are super comfortable and the servive is perfect . Shantaa is a perfect place for people who are looking to escape life and find true tranquility for a moment - be careful though you might never want to leave !!
