Food & drink prices at Santiburi

The hotel's F&B pricing is consistently reported as a major pain point across multiple recent reviews. Reviewers from diverse regions (UK, Germany, Russia) and additional unattributed sources report that the hotel's restaurant and beach offerings are substantially more expensive than comparable venues outside the resort—in some cases nearly double the cost for similar Thai meals. A buffet dinner costs approximately £70 per person (before drinks), which reviewers view as excessive relative to both the quality of offerings and the context of local wage levels. The Beach House Restaurant, in particular, is criticized for not justifying its asking price through service or quality. The consistency and specificity of these complaints, paired with their recent dates and geographic diversity, suggests a systematic and persistent pricing issue rather than isolated experiences.
