What we say:

We'd talked to a couple of Californian guests the day before we visited Shantaa -- they were gushing in their praise -- and we'll have to take their word for it as the resort was full when we visited and we were unable to see inside a room. We did take in the grounds though and they're lovely. The more affordable bungalows are to the south of the restaurant and look over a lawn garden running down to a small "beach club" and the beach. To the north of the restaurant are larger, more expensive bungalows with more lawn views and what we termed a natural horizon pool -- the resort has cleverly placed sun lounges and umbrellas before the drop to the ocean and it lends a classic horizon pool effect. The beach section is quite small and abuts onto the large Nam Leuk pier, which detracts a bit (though probably means more fish for the snorkellers). From the exterior the rooms looked very smart and well kept. The restaurant also gets good reports -- both from the Californians we talked to and others. If you're looking for a smart getaway where you don't have to share the beach with interlopers this could be the right choice. Good for lovers.

Just perfect!

Shantaa was everything we expected and more! We wanted a secluded, serene, romantic, boutique experience, with a little luxury, a beautiful beach, great food, and an authentic thai experience which also benefited locals. They did this all, brillianty with the best service. We couldn't believe it was so perfect. Other tourists who came for dinner were so jealous! I could write forever.... massages, fried bananas with coconut icecream, amazing location, gorgeous rooms...just go!
