I've stayed twice now, first on a 5 day Spa Holiday programme and most recently a seven day yoga programme, and definitely plan to return sometime next year. It's a lovely place, with friendly, charming and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms and excellent spa and yoga facilities, with a variety of classes catering to all levels. The pool is gorgeous, and it's a relatively short walk to Choeng Mon beach. 

I noticed that since my first visit in November, they'd taken on board the suggestions about increasing the number of lounge chairs around the pool as far as possible, and during my week there most recently, it was not busy so I never had any difficulty getting a chair. I love the toiletries in the rooms - they come in big pump bottles, rather than little plastic bottles that are replaced every day. My only criticism on reflection is the limited selection of meals available on the yoga programme menu as opposed to other programmes (the spa holiday and "Be Fit" programmes, for example). Some of the Love Kitchen's best dishes were not on it, and I didn't understand why. Why couldn't all the vegetarian dishes on offer be included on the menu? Also, only some of the yoga menus had noted whether the dish was vegan, gluten free etc - all menus should have these marked. But this is a minor issue. I'd definitely recommend it for a healthy, relaxing break in a beautiful and warm environment.

Absolute Sanctuary is just as the name says. Rooms are very clean.. Pool area is great.. For those looking for a detox program, there are plenty of options to choose from. Daily yoga and massages were included in my package. As for the detox itself, I was on a full-fast no food program. I never really felt hungry throughout the experience. The program is designed to spread your detox juices and supplements throughout the day so you avoid hunger pangs.. Vegetable broth is also available at anytime incase you cant make it to your next juice! A shuttle runs almost hourly to either Chaweng or Changmon Beaches. In case you need to get away from the resort for a few hours. This was my first experience with a detox and I'm really glad I chose to do it at Absolute Sanctuary! 5 days after finishing my program, the weight is continuing to drop and my energy levels are rising!! I highly recommend A.S. if your looking for a program like this..

Alles was perfect, kan niet anders zeggen.

Alles was top!

Tip: ik heb een extra behandeling bijgeboekt ter plaatse, die was heel bijzonder: Healing Hands (soort Reiki).Fitness instructeur is een Nederlander, heel leuk om wat met personal training bijvoorbeeld te doen.

Jammer dat het resort niet aan direct aan het strand ligt, dan was het helemaal perfect geweest. Ze regelen wel een gratis shuttle service naar het strand (en ze kunnen de sapjes voor je laten verpakken om mee te nemen), maar het is dan toch weer wat gedoe.

Het is me zeer goed bevallen, ik had het niet beter kunnen treffen! Volgende keer ga ik weer naar Shantisom!!!
