I stayed in a bungalow at the Sanctuary. It was nice, but there was no hot water or any extras. Lenka, who works on reception, is really friendly. Some of the waiting staff are great too - esp. Sam, who remembers everyone's names and is always really jolly. The proprietor, on the other hand, is rude and unfriendly. I paid...

The Sanctuary is a perfect spot to get away from everything and just relax. They offer great yoga classes by teachers I was very impressed by and the studio was big and clean. The free meditation was always great as well. I stayed in a small bungalow which was perfect for what I was looking for. It was a little...

Just returned from a 51/2 day detox and fast. The main guy, Mr Moon, who usually runs the wellness centre is away. Got there, no proper consultation or welcome, then staright into the detox. Thought this was slack. What if I had a medical condition???
Accomodation fine, but big, loud techo parties on Friday nights aren't mentioned on the website....

I have just returned from staying at The Sanctuary and I have mixed views about it. I hadn't been back to Thailand for 15 years and was pleased that The Sanctuary and its surroundings were as beautiful and relaxing as I hoped they would be.
I found the staff very friendly and helpful and they always answered any questions I...

Just returned to the UK after my third visit to the Sanctuary. This was the best time ever. Had a great welcome from the staff, the majority of whom were still there after a two year absence. That has to be a good sign. it was like returning to a happy family.
The food in the seafood/vegetarian restaurant was as...

I feel that there is nobody really caring for the place. It would gain a lot if the staff and management would be more interested in taking good care of garden, beach and yoga places and creating a real 'haven' and atmosphere.
if you are expecting great tasty Thai food, it's not the place to be. Accomodation and food is...

We heard so many good things about the Sanctuary, so we decided to check it out. After taking a 2 hour ferry from Koh Samui to Koh Phangan, we had to take a harrowing long tail boat in high waves that made me scared and sick from Haad Rin pier to Haad Tien where Sanctuary is located. Good thing we...

Thank you for your feedback.
The few issues that you highlight are areas that we are aware of, and are striving to improve. As you illustrated in your boat journey to get here, we are a remote beach in the jungle, which is part of the challenge for us in providing certain services, such as really good internet access. You'll...

A little paradise. An absolutely wonderful place to relax, meet great people and have spectacular new experiences. Amazing healers, and workshops. Spectacular food. Staff is absolutely great, very friendly and super helpful. Chard spend 20 min helping me sort out calling card issues (something he absolutely did not have to do).
The place is a bit pricey for Thailand but...

WOW. What an incredible place. I hoped it was going to be a great experience but could never have imagined how amazing it actually turned out to be! My boyfriend Jamie and I came for 4 nights and already feel like William, Sam and Chard are friends for life! What amazing staff, they just made us feel so at home...
