The Royal Santrian

Very nice villas with extra friendly staff

Firstly the staff are lovely and really accommodating. The villa was so much bigger than it looks, and the pool was also huge. Well maintained and would highly recommend.

Very relaxing, quiet & luxurious. All staff were extremely accomodating & we left feeling very spoiled!

Our recent start of the honeymoon at The Royal Santrian offered both highlights and significant drawbacks. Our villa was absolutely lovely – beautifully decorated, spacious, and wonderfully private, with a fantastic private pool. The general setting of the resort, including the main pool and restaurant, was also very pleasant. The staff was friendly and readily available. However, the beach was a major disappointment. Despite being beachfront, it was essentially unusable, squeezed between noisy and smelly water sports operators. Even worse, the sea itself was visibly polluted with plastic and rubbish. We felt the true condition of the beach should have been made clear beforehand. Food at the main restaurant was largely tasteless and below standard for our liking. The one exception was the romantic dinner on the beach, which was a completely different and excellent culinary experience – highly recommended!

This property is justly rated by all websites. It is spectacular. Our villa was stunning with sea views. We really could not have been happier. The attention to detail was outstanding. Everyone and I mean every single person on the property greeted you warmly as if you are an old friend. Suardi the front office manager greeted us upon arrival and was informative and helpful with suggestions. The star of the show though was our driver/ guide Pangi. He is a superstar of hospitality. So good we booked two days of tours with him. Although some of our time was marred by inclement weather, we had an amazing stay at The Royal Santrian. We will be back!
