Noted as the weakest area: limited dinner choices (set menus on some days), sparse lunch options and complaints about cold/warmth of food versus expectations (Ayurveda/hot meals).

Lovely location and unique atmosphere as hotel for Spa and Yoga. Staff was great as usual. Have already been a few times, would love to go back. Stunning pool and garden.

Is a pitty . I do NOT recommend it. They need to do a BIG reform. For clients to feel confortable .
Pros:

Very cold in the hotel and hotel Rooms. You can get sick realy easy.
The pool is so cold you cant use it only from june.
My yoga class was canceled because there was a BIG GROUP and they dont care if you come Here as a single person the GROUP comes first
MORE MONEY with bigger groups.
Very Money oriented .

The staff is excelente , but the infraestructura of the hotel is not working: sauna , the steam room it smells horrible , the food at lunch is 3 salads and one soup. We clients need warm food cause is really cold .
Ayurveda recommends hot food!!.

I have to say that this is Still here because of the excellent employees and team.
If it want for their kind tratment this would be closed .
Do not recommend it

Excellent accommodation and staff
Pros:

I stayed at Shanti Som for three nights on a yoga retreat, and I absolutely loved the experience.

From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. Every member of staff was extremely friendly and seemed to make a real effort to ensure each guest had a wonderful stay. With only around 15 rooms, the resort keeps guest numbers low, which allows the staff to offer very personal attention.

My room was nicely decorated and a good size, with a kettle and a small selection of teas. The bathroom was well equipped with all the toiletries you’d need, and the room also had a small private garden area, which was a lovely touch.

The spa facilities were excellent. I used the sauna and steam bath several times and often had them to myself due to the limited number of guests. The treatment room where I had my massage was beautifully set up with dim lighting and candles, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The massage included in my package was fantastic, and if I return, I would definitely book more treatments.

The outdoor pool was a good size and heated, making it very pleasant even in November. The gardens and grounds are beautifully maintained, with water features throughout that create a relaxing backdrop. The gym looked well equipped with the essentials, though I didn't use it during my stay.

The food was great throughout my visit.
Breakfast was a continental buffet with meats, cheeses, breads, dried fruits, granola, yogurts, and the option to order warm dishes like porridge and eggs.
Lunch was buffet-style with soups, salads, poke bowls, and bread.
Dinner was cooked to order from a small, rotating menu. Over my stay, I had a tagine, a curry, and a cod dish—all delicious. Desserts varied each night, including cakes, ice cream, and chia pudding.

I liked the choice of dining spaces. There were individual tables, plus a large shared table for guests who preferred to eat together. I tend to keep to myself, but it was lovely to see others chatting and enjoying the communal option. There was also outdoor seating, which I imagine is wonderful in warmer months.

The yoga classes and guided meditations were excellent. The instructors were very accommodating of different abilities, offering variations so beginners and more advanced practitioners could get the most out of each session.

My three-night stay was perfect for what I wanted this time. If I return, I would probably stay for five nights to take fuller advantage of the treatments and facilities.

Overall, it was a fantastic holiday, and I would definitely consider visiting again.

Надеюсь , менеджер отеля прочитает мой отзыв и примет адекватные меры , в противном случае , постоянные клиенты , больше
Pros:

Этой мой любимый отель в Испании .
Мне тут нравится все : номера , спа , питание , расположение .

Cons:

К сожалению , в отеле сменился владелец и менеджер . И очень изменилось отношение к клиентам с их стороны , не со стороны персонала . Люди здесь чудесные : и официанты, и повара , и массажисты , и уборка номеров и ресепшн. Обожаю и люблю всех . Но вот менеджер отеля ведет себя не эмпатично по отношению к клиентам . Как пример : в отеле 11.11.2025 начали ремонт !!!?? В итоге я проснулась с мигренью из шума, шум был и в ресторане и в спа . За 400 е в сутки клиент должен это терпеть ???

Traumhaft! Erholung pur!
Pros:

Sehr schönes kleines Wellness Hotel! Die Spa-Behandlungen waren einfach klasse. Die Yoga-Kurse mit Nathalie draußen im Pavillon waren toll. Und die für mich gute Seele des Hotels war Jana im Restaurant. Alle Bediensteten waren ausnahmslos freundlich. Ich werde wiederkommen.

Cons:

Reveealing its true colors, the biggest disapointment
Pros:

I have been to Shanti Som three times and this has become a tradition to me. I started going after a large shift in my personal life and I have loved every moment.

This last year I have had some medical issues and treatments that lead me to need to change my travel dates with my visit to Shanti Som. Being a loyal customer and having the proper medical notes from my doctor to show why I would need to change the dates, Shanti Som was not supportive at all.

The woman in Sales Tatiana asked me to prepay all my treatments (spa, massage and soul reading) so all these had been pre-paid including my stay. The resort basically said that they would not accomodate the move of my dates to support my treatments. I did not want to cancel just wanted to move the dates.

When asking them to review this with leadership, since I am a loyal visitor, the owner, who was an investment firm located in Australia sent me a note that they could not help. I basically lost all the money I had prepaid and was not able to visit.

This showed me that this resort which I regarded so highly does not support its loyal customers, does not help in a time of need (allthough a wellbeing resort) and is run by financial firm in another part of the world with the goal to make a much profit as possible. It is so disapointing to have this revelation. I will absolutely never visit this place again, nor recommend it, nor speak highly of it. Such a dispointment!
