Santosa Detox & Wellness Center

Do not stay at this hotel! One of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. No hot water, no air conditioning, we were told that most of the treatments were unavailable because it was the off season and we had to book a week in advance (no mention of this on their website). We get back to the hotel at about midnight and the key didn’t work. Reception closes after dark so if you need any help you have to wait for someone to come from their home to assist. Manager was not helpful at all. There’s a 3hour wait time on responses from the business account on WhatsApp. It was impossible to book a treatment or find out any information without enduring an 800m walk with steep inclines even though I had the manager, receptionist and business account on WhatsApp. The receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. If you want a relaxing get away, I highly recommend CC’s Hideaway it’s about 1.5km from Santosa and it is much better value for money. I would not allow even my worst enemy to book at santosa

Ich hatte dieses Retreat gebucht und kurz vor dem Ausbruch der Pandemie im Januar 2020 eine Anzahlung geleistet, und zu Beginn der Pandemie waren die Mitarbeiter immer noch sehr hilfsbereit und stellten sicher, dass ich einen neuen Termin vereinbaren oder eine Rückerstattung vornehmen konnte. Danach haben sie meine E-Mail einfach komplett ignoriert, und obwohl ich verstehe, dass es eine Sperrung gab, habe ich versucht, nachzufassen, und es gab immer noch keine Antwort. Ich habe mich 2022 erneut gemeldet und wurde immer noch völlig ignoriert. Ich bin ziemlich enttäuscht über die Erfahrung, da ich mich wirklich darauf gefreut hatte, dorthin zu gehen, und mir wurde versprochen, dass ich eine Rückerstattung erhalten könnte.

Hervorragend!!! Ich kam für ein volles Fasten. Es waren vor allem meine Erwartungen. Nachdem ich Entgiftungszentren in den USA gemacht hatte, war dies bei weitem besser. Von Anfang bis Ende würde ich nichts ändern. In der Nacht, bevor mein Fasten begann, hatte ich einen Cesar-Salat / eine Sauce auf Cashewbasis und Pilz-Resoto. Beides ein Traum. Das Zentrum befindet sich im Dschungel mit atemberaubendem Blick auf das Meer und den riesigen Buddha. Das Programm selbst war fantastisch. Frische rohe Säfte, verschiedene Kurse, die besten Massagen (Emi war so gut, dass ich meine Zeit verlängerte), Colema (Darmdarm), Sauna/Eisbad, gesprenkelt mit Strandbesuchen und Wanderungen zum riesigen Buddha. Das Personal ist äußerst zuvorkommend. Sie sind auch effizient, sachkundig und fürsorglich. Ich kann nicht genug über sie sagen. Ich wünschte, ich könnte sie alle mit nach Hause nehmen. Ich plane bereits meinen nächsten Besuch. Ich werde mit ein paar Tagen Rohkost und vegetarischem Kochkurs enden, für die ich diesmal keine Zeit hatte.

Ich habe diesen Ort schon oft besucht und finde, dass die Sauna hier wirklich gut ist. Es war also wirklich schrecklich, als ich von Bang Tao hierher kam, aber es war zweimal geschlossen !!! Sie müssen sie zuerst anrufen, um die Verfügbarkeit zu überprüfen ...

Ich habe viele Saunaorte auf der Insel Phuket besucht und muss sagen, dass dieser wirklich gut ist. Hier finden Sie ein renoviertes Dampfbad und ein Eisbad (nur ca. 17 Uhr). Das Problem ist, dass das Zitronengras im Dampfbad manchmal nicht frisch riecht. . . Und frischer Apfelsaft von der Bar war perfekt.

I felt like the whole set up was a complete rip off. I didnt even get a room at the resort but was placed in a room at 500 meters from the resort. They couldn´t care less about me and their dedication was way below par. I left after two days feeling completely disillusioned. Loads of money for an absolute poor programm. Please dont go here.

Santosa Wellness resort has been an outstanding experience for me and my mom. This is my 3rd full / juice fasting retreat in Thailand and I am so happy to have chosen this new location for me. One of the best parts of the retreat is the thoughtful, caring, professional and almost family like approach of all staff. They are organized, everything is under control, yet they remain flexible. At the end of our 8 day fast, I had too much mucus plaque to call is quits, so decided to continue – Sheryl has allowed me to continue doing 1 more colonics and given me the last implant home with take away final food. One day we went out and skipped some program parts, the staff has allowed us to postpone the massage with no charge and did a special 2 hour session for my mom the next day. The staff at the restaurant are absolutely fantastic. While we didn’t manage to enjoy much for the food, we had our last dinner before fast and it was beyond delicious, fresh, beautiful. We had multiple teas / day though during our fast and all choices were delicious. The fruit juices that my mom was given was fresh and very tasty, made with love. 2 coconut juices helped to keep our electrolytes in check. Colonics were well organized and the facilities for it were great – you could take a shower after and everything was super clean and well run. Ice bath was one of the highlights, along with steam back helped to revive at night. One of the highlights was the training / fitness program – the resort had a variety of professional high quality trainers that taught very fun classes like Zumba, aerial yoga, Nidra yoga, fit ball, breathing. Its important to keep active during your fasting days and having so many options (3 classes / week day and 2 / weekend), it an excellent way to keep your mind off your fast! There was also a gym which we never got to use, but its an option as well. The service is fantastic, the views from the restaurant for sunset and sunrise were stunning and I can’t be more happier. WE also had a great trip to Big Buddha organized by the center and daily trip to the beach. Overall, it’s a 10 start experience, above and beyond my expectation. The whole program is very well thought out and can be catered individually. This is a gem of a complete detox and wellness center which I am so grateful for discovering. Compared to other options, I found it to be the best price to quality offering. The rooms for the resort are also nice and very affordable with incredible views for the sunrise. I am very sad to leave and I definitely want to come back!

We did a one day relax package at 1500 baht it was exceptional value for money. All staff were lovely and very committed to health. The vegan food and juices were world class! Our package included breathwork, meal and juice, a massage and a hot sauna and ice plunge. A very full day. I did a healing treatment with Karn and she was exceptional and very gifted. After having had two recent operations she identified my health issues within the first few minutes of the session and after the treatment the area that had been numb in my abdomen for over 6 months post surgery was completely gone - that’s after only one treatment and she gave me a number of things to follow up with on my return home. She is the real deal as far as “healers” go and this retreat was excellent values for money. A must try for anyone seeking health improvement!

The hospitality of all staff at Santosa is impeccable. Everyone was so fríendly, nice and professional. The premises were clean and the rooms comfortable. The restaurant served delicious vegan food which we tried before our 3 day juice fast. The juices served for the juice fast were tasty and varied. On top of 5 juices, we got a coconut after every colema and hot broth in the evening. There was a massage and other activities every day. With so much to do and drink we had no time to feel hungry or bored. If you're thinking of trying a detox program, don't hesitate, go to Santosa.
