    Super relaxing
    Amazing experience. My wife and I booked an experience day with treatments to treat her for the end of her maternity leave. We loved every minute from start to finish. The spa was so relaxing. Pool and jacuzzi were fantastic but our favourite part was the hot stone beds. The treatments were unforgettable and all staff were extremely accommodating, professional, friendly and really topped off the experience. Thoroughly recommend.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you and your wife had a relaxing experience with us. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to our team and we look forward to welcoming you both again soon.

    Lava stone spa massgae - Bell was legendary
    I stayed over at the genting hotel and used the Santai spa facility. All staff were Friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Bell carried out my lava stone body massage and was absolutely exceptional. I have visited many spa facilities in different hotels who just “tap” your back however Bell was firm and I felt my knots being pushed. A genuine true massage was carried out. The room interior, setting and zen music helped me relax and nearly fell asleep asleep.Would highly recommend and a massive shout out to Bell.
    Thank you for the wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to us and thoroughly enjoyed your stone massage from Bell. We will pass all of your kind words on to her. We hope to welcome you back to Santai Spa again very soon.

    Excellent first time visit
    First visit to the spa whilst my daughter was at a cheer competition in the arena. I was made to feel welcome and facilities explained. Choice of outdoor seating area and hot tub, hot stone beds, pool, sauna and steam room - free tea, coffee, water and juice in a lovely seating area. All in all a great experience, and with free parking too, with a validated ticket. Will definitely visit again.
    Thank you so much for the fabulous review. We're so pleased that you had a great time when you visited us recently. We hope you will come back and visit us again soon.

    Lovely experience.
    Lovely experience. My fiancé booked this break away as a “Babymoon” it was lovely! Also the hotel is as lovely. I had a foot/leg massage by a kind lady called KIRTI. She did a fantastic job! Would most definitely recommend both hotel and spa.

    Spa is amazing!!!
    Me and my partner both went for the inner calm massage, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Would highly recommend, and defiantly worth the £89 for 50mins. Thank you to both Isobel, and kirti. You made me and my partner feel really comfortable, and done an amazing job for both of us. We both feel fantastic! I will be returning at a later date. The spa facilities are great, free drinks when you are there, a great variety of things, swimming pool, jacuzzi, hot stone beds, sauna etc. Very clean, and smells absolutely gorgeous as soon as you enter the premises, and all the staff are lovely! Thank you.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We're so pleased you had a relaxing experience when you visited us recently. We will pass your fabulous feedback on to Isobel and Kirti as we are sure they will be delighted with your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back again very soon.

    Fantastic experience, thank you!
    We booked for a full body massage and it was amazing. Nemuna was great, really understanding of the treatment and very knowledgeable with the after care advice. She was very caring and very professional. We are yet to go into the rest of the spa facilities but so far it’s been a great experience throughout.
    We're so pleased to hear that you had a great experience with us and enjoyed your massage from Nemuna. You really must try the rest of our fabulous facilities next time. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Overall we were disappointed. It is quite small and if there were more than 30 people in there it would be packed. Outside jacuzzi is nice but had to queue to get in it. We had an issue with someone using a mobile phone taking pictures and using facetime despite lots of signs saying no mobile phones. They were asked not to use the phone and they said no so I had to get a member of staff who did come and speak to them although after she had gone they continued. So that had not worked. I suggested in my feedback to them that they remind people on entry that there are no mobile phones.

Treatments were ok but had much better. The pedicure and manicures weren't that good just basically a nail paint on both. No attention to feet hands.

It was my mums 80th and we wanted it to be special but it wasnt.

Booked the spa package which included 3 hour visit to the spa and facilities, visited on a Saturday so expected it to be busier but hoped that as it was during COVID there would be a good level of social distancing but there wasn’t, spa was over filled as it is very small to begin with. Couldn’t get a lounger by the pool so ended up having to stand a lot of the time, went to use the jacuzzi and as it was 4 guests maximum it meant having to wait for others to finish with no where to go in the meantime. Other guests ruined the experience by being rude and arguing over the “queue” for the outdoor jacuzzi. Spa is very small, not worth the value we paid for the package. The spa is merged with general access from the gym so there was constant people in and out and did not get a chance to relax at all, I felt more stressed coming out when it was supposed to be a relaxing experience after not being able to get a seat and being confronted by other pool users. Had this booked for a while to meet with friends that I haven’t seen since before the pandemic and was very disappointed with our day at Santai spa.

I visited with friends a booked for 3hrs including the dry flotation treatment. Firstly it’s a real stretch to call that a treatment. It’s basically a water bed in a bath & you’re left alone in a room for 25mins! I found it really hard to relax in there & could hear lots of noise from the reception area. The pool/jacuzzi/steam rooms etc are really nice, however our experience in there was ruined by 2 couples who seemed to think they were in a nightclub, screaming, shouting, swearing and generally being inappropriate. Not the Spas fault of course, however when we mentioned it to the receptionist she told us we were the 6th complaint she’d had about them, yet they were still there. I feel the spa staff should have had them removed well before 6 complaints! I wasn’t impressed with the changing area, there are 3 showers with shower curtains & one cubicle to get changed in. I prefer more privacy. Overall I don’t think this spa represented value for money. It’s in a great location at resorts world, but I won’t be returning in a hurry.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Santai Spa, all staff are so caring and attentive. Initially I booked in for just a treatment but decided to pay the extra and use the facilities. It was well worth every penny so I’m glad I did. The spa is very clean and cosy, could have stayed a lot longer as I was so relaxed so I would definitely return. My favourite part was my inner calm massage with Bhoomi, she was fantastic and I felt so much better in myself after my treatment as I’d been feeling quite stressed and anxious, after I had plenty of time in the relax room with a lovely hot chocolate. I’ve been to many spas and have paid a lot more for a less enjoyable experience so I think it’s very high quality for the price you pay. Will look forward to my next visit. Thank you Santai Spa. Xx

As a birthday treat I visited the spa. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and was quickly shown where all the facilities were. My massage therapist was Kaitlan. She was friendly, professional and really really good at delivering a fantastic treatment. She instinctively knew where to apply pressure at at the end of the massage I felt like I was floating on a cloud!!! I’d highly recommend her and i’ll definitely be rebooking with her.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time in the spa area. At £64 for a 3 hour slot, ( Sunday afternoon) I did think it rather pricy however the towels were a lovely quality and you are given some proper flip flops ( rather than the flappy white things that never fit!). The requested XL robe was still on the small side ( I am an 18/20) - I couldn’t wrap it around me and feel snuggly.

The hair shampoo, conditioner and body wash were lovely but where was the body lotion to compliment these? Good showers.

The changing area was very small. I walked through at one point to get a shower. There were five people there so I went into the relaxation room ( ahh! Lovely) for half an hour. When I came back there was only one other lady there so it made things much more comfortable.

Not many folk using the Spa area which made it very accessible and comfortable. When it is busy, it would not be great as the area is small and I doubt there would be sufficient loungers. 4 hot stone loungers - blissful! Pool is good. Jacuzzi area and jets in the pool. Steam room was fab. I didn’t use the sauna. Two people in it stretched out so not much more space without pushing in. Outdoor covered hot tub very pleasant. Tropical rain shower. Also a “storm” setting and cold setting.

Unlimited tea, coffee, orange and apple juice and a bowl of fruit - very welcome.

Friendly, accommodating staff add to the enjoyment.

This is my 5th attempt at trying to publish a review about this Spa which keeps getting reported (probably by Spa staff) for some reason.

My wife and I have endured a terrible experience at the hands of the Spa Supervisor. I would urge all travellers to stay away until the Spa sort out their policies for staff and hire professional competent people to do the job.

We booked for a special occasion and the whole experience was ruined by the Spa Supervisor who refused to honour our massage (which was prepaid). She was extremely rude, highly discriminatory, and showed no basic customer service skills. She also complained about her job and said she didn’t care about upsetting customers!!

This place is a joke and I’ll be taking my complaint about the Santai Spa and the Spa Supervisor further with other bodies and organisations in the leisure and hospitality industry.

Dear Guest, As explained to you during our communications after your visit. Our team on the day were following the usual process of a late arrival for a treatment as explained in our terms and conditions. We always recommend that anyone arrives 15 minutes prior to their treatment to complete consultation forms, any late arrival will always result in cutting into your treatment time. I am aware that there was a breakdown in communication between our reservations team and spa reception which resulted in a negative impact on your visit which was through no fault of any individuals as the regular policy was followed. We pride ourselves on our customer service and it is dispiriting to see that our attempts to restore your faith have gone unmentioned in your review. We wish you all the best on all of your future endeavours. Best wishes,

Firstly don't waste money on a over crowded spa where you cannot relax.Most things look like they need updating.Only 2 showers in the changing rooms.
I had booked me and my husband 3 hours of spa access which said that your car parking would be complimentary with the price paid.Staff at spa had informed us that the car park ticket was validated for 12 hours.

After our spa we went for something to eat at one of the restaurants within resorts world.When departing the car park we found out that the spa staff had not validated our car park ticket which resulted us paying 16 pounds.

The next day I had called up and was advised the spa manager was not there but If I write a email to her she can then resolve this hofully get a refund for the amount paid for the car park.
Not heard anything back its been over 5 days.

My daughter booked an afternoon tea and spa trip for my birthday.
We had the afternoon tea first which was underwhelming and really not worth the £30 she paid. Then onto the spa, we should have known what was going to happen as when we walked in as we could hear people in the pool area being very loud. We got our robes on and proceeded into the swimming pool area which was full of people being very loud.

All of the beds had got towels and robes on them, there is a group of women in the corner of the swimming pool taking photos of each other, we were told not to take mobile phones into the spa. The only place that we could sit was on the hot stone beds that were in my opinion too hot, but that might have just been me, we waited to go into the hot tub which was being used by a couple who were being quite intimate which made us feel really awkward. We sat there for awhile waiting for them to get out, of this didn’t happen so we decided to go into the swimming pool, noticing that there was false eyelashes had been left on the side of the pool, I’ve got to say The pool area looked a little shabby,.
The people that were in there continued to be loud by this time we really had enough so we got changed and went to hand in our robes and towels, the girl on Desk asked if everything was okay I told her what had happened and we had only been there for about half an hour. She said she could see some beds were free now and did she want her to reserve them for us? But by this time we were dressed and ready to go, I told her there were people in there taking photos and she said she had told them twice. I also told her that the people in the hot tub weren’t getting out so we were just going home.
She gave us a half hearted apology and then carried on with a customer that was at the desk already , lesson learned we won’t be going back there ever again.
It really is too small, you only need to get a group of people in there that take it over and you don’t get a look in at anything, no where to sit or put your things, it really is quite awkward and uncomfortable.
