"Honestly, this place is amazing. The staff are wonderful. I have toured most of the island and pretty much every resort has been a bit run down and dirty, but Shantaa is clean. The staff are out every morning picking up any leaves that have fallen in the night and cleaning up any garbage that has washed up on the beach. From front desk, to restaurant staff, to the cleaning staff, everyone has been amazing. Do not hesitate to stay here. The food is amazing too. If there were a larger beach this place would be $1000 a night easily (rent a scooter and go to any beach you want). 5 stars, 10 out of 10, two thumbs up etc. etc…I will definitely be coming back. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Oh, they’re very nice to animals too."
"This was my first time staying at Siam Beach Resort, and the journey there became part of the experience. After a short flight from Bangkok to Trat, I arrived at one of the most charming and quaint small airports I have seen in Thailand. Trat Airport has a relaxed, welcoming feel that immediately sets the tone for island travel.
From the airport, I took private transportation for the roughly 45-minute drive to the ferry landing. The road journey was sensational — smooth, well maintained, and passing through what felt like one of Thailand’s beautiful garden baskets, with lovely farms, Thai produce, lush trees, scattered residences, and a landscape that seemed set back in time.
By the time I reached the ferry, I could already feel life slowing down.
Siam Beach Resort continued that feeling. The resort has a simple, easygoing charm that fits Koh Kood perfectly. It is not overly polished or pretentious, but that is part of its appeal. The setting is peaceful, with direct beach access, calm water, and tropical surroundings that invite you to relax.
My room was clean and comfortable, with fresh linens and the basic amenities needed for a pleasant stay. The property has a casual, welcoming feel, and the staff were kind and helpful.
For travelers looking for a quiet beachfront location, good value, and an authentic island-style experience, Siam Beach Resort is a place I would gladly recommend — and happily return to."
"Top 5 hotel in the world. Amazing staff, amazing restaurant food and the surroundings were amazing. Rentals on point. We will be back. Quiet and secluded. Just what you need to relax."
"Over the past decade we have stayed in dozens hotels and resorts in Thailand but this place stands out for cleanliness and how helpful and friendly every single staff member has been during our stay.
The pool and beach are being kept immaculately clean, there is free use of paddle boards and beach chairs and for a fee you can get a massage on the beach.
The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of Thai and western dishes and again was fantastically clean with the staff dealing with anything immediately."
"Our room was better than described and staff were genuinely kind and helpful. We were able to watch the sunset from our living room and our early morning ocean dip was only steps from ourfront door. Exquisite! Thank you!"
