Santhiya Tree Koh Chang Resort is located in the centre of Klong Prao beach. This is one of the quietest areas of beach on the west coast. Even in high season you will only see a couple of dozen people out on the sand. Just one of the reasons this is one of the best resorts on Koh Chang.

(This score is based on the number of written reviews on Booking.com since 1 November 2018. Because recent reviews are more relevant than those from many years ago.)
There are no pushy beach vendors and no rows of deckchairs on the sand. Just a couple of small beach massage places, a couple of low key restaurants and couple of laid back backpacker bungalow huts nearby, where you can also get sensibly priced food and drinks.
It’s a good spot to get away from it all. The negatives are that the design of the resort maybe a bit too over the top ‘mock temple’ for some. And that the quiet location means that it is 15 minutes walk to the village and nearest 7-eleven.
Figure on a 15 minute walk to the main road. However, the hotel does have a free shuttle service but this doesn’t run all day, only at selected times. And finally, the room rates are amongst the highest on the island.
The villas near the beach all have either pool access or a private pool. This is in addition to the large beachfront pool. This pool can get busy during the high season, so if you want some privacy the pool villas might be worth splashing out on.
In 2018 Santhiya Tree Resort opened a new riverside hotel block. This is a towering four floor structure that is clad in teak wood – giving the appearance of a wooden palace. Despite the size there are only an additional 28 rooms. However each room, also decked in teak from floor to ceiling, has a private plunge pool with sunrise view of the jungle. On the ground floor is a 40 metre long lap pool and restaurant.
Highly recommended if you enjoy a bit of luxury. But if it’s too remote try The Dewa or Emerald Cove at the busier southern end of Klong Prao beach.

The staff is courteous and polite; helpful and smiling. It is possible to walk around nearby beaches. The place is away from the main motorway and offers privacy. Practically, we enjoyed it all. *There is no natural shadow - only umbrellas. **There might be families with small kids. ***Koh Chang appears as strong Russian destination (if anyone has a pb with that :)read less - Peteyanatan - 05/04/20

In unserem Pool war zwar zu Anfang eine Unterwasserlampe nicht montiert und die Kabel waren lose im Wasser, aber als wir dies reklamiert haben wurde es auch sofort repariert. Super Service. Auch wurde das Zimmer immer sofort gereinigt und sauber gemacht. Das Personal war immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und auch für jeden etwas dabei. Auch toll ist die direkte Strandlage und die Liegen mit Sonnenschirme am Meer. Das Resort liegt doch etwas abseits von der Hauptstraße. Zu Fuß waren es 15 Minuten zu laufen, ebenfalls wurde auch ein Shuttleservice angeboten, dieser aber nur alle zwei Stunden. Wenn man also zeitlich nicht immer gebunden sein möchte bleibt einem nur laufen. Schade auch, dass im Resort alles überteuert angeboten wird, gerne hätten wir dort mal zu Abend gegessen oder auch mehr an der Poolbar getrunken aber es war uns schlichtweg zu teuer wenn man das ganze außerhalb auch zum halben Preis bekommen kann.read less - Katrin - 31/03/20

Complimentary room decoration and cake delivered in the room by lovely staff. Staff is really kind, helpful and always smiling. General atmosphere is lovely and very beautiful setting, well kept gardens, nice details everywhere. Very comfortable room, beautifully decorated and clean. Amazing breakfast with awesome view. Beach is beautiful and clean. We would like to come back one day. Thank you! We liked everything but if we really need to pick a thing that could be improved is the beach/pool towels that are quite small and thin. (even though we liked the traditional style) Also we think that F&B prices are a bit high, considering that gov tax is not included.read less - Pamela - 27/03/20

I have just booked 18 days at the Panviman via a german website , charged in EUR.
On average we are paying THB 3,650 per night, so checking out several agencies/websites can save you almost 50% of the price the hotel itself charges.
