Thoroughly enjoyed my two week stay here and it really made a difference. Have been finding it impossible to lose weight for months - yet since doing the detox programme, I have lost weight and that has continued since going back home. Feel much healthier, in general.
It's been a combination of the fast, advice from Sarah and Kimmana and the information available.
It's a lovely, laid back place - delicious food, friendly staff - Bow, Sam, William etc. Didn't expect to socialise so much with the other guests - came alone - but spent many happy afternoons and evenings chatting away in the hammocks or swimming in the sea.
Felt better than I have in years after my stay here - mentally, physically and emotionally. It's a wonderful present to give to yourself.
Did yoga for the first time with Ben and loved that. Ben was incredible - he paid attention to everyone in his class, whether we were 'good' at yoga or not. I only wish he had a dvd.
Yes, the party was really loud on the Friday night, but I amazed myself by getting up at dawn and going to it. Had plenty of time to sleep and rest, so I actually quite enjoyed it.
Was pleased that I was able to stay in a dorm, for 200 bahts a night, as I went here at the end of a long trip around the world, so it was nice not to have to pay too much.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a chill out place with awesome food, great people and a stellar level of service! Staff always happy specially Sam at the restaurant who is a super star!)

My experience at the Wellness Center was wonderful. Mr Moon and Bow exceed my expectations with their outstanding level of services, care and understanding during my detox.
They made me feel very welcome and special. It was a truly healing time.

I will definitely be coming back and telling all my friends about it.

We've stayed a lot at The Sanctuary over the years. We were sorely disappointed with our stay over the Christmas/New Year holidays. The place is looking extra-shabby. Rooms are not well kept. The shared space is dirty. The food has become mediocre, and it takes forever to arrive. The people who show up and hang out between Haad Tian and Haad Yuan tend to be stoned most of the time, and there's this adolescent feel in the air. Guests who go seem to only care about when and where the next party is happening, so they can take ecstasy, mushrooms, or get drunk.

Speaking of parties, a bar adjacent to The Sanctuary had a party with loud house music that went on for three nights straight. We couldn't sleep. And when we complained to the manager of The Sanctuary, he said he could do nothing about it given the fact that the bar was owned by someone else. Totally helpless.

If you're looking for a stoner, druggy hang-out spot, this is the place for you. If you're actually looking for a vacation, go somewhere else.

The Wellness Center staff, led by trustworthy Moon, couldn't be more welcoming if they tried. From the moment you slip off your flip-flops, climb the wooden stairs and enter the open air Wellness Center - you are transported to feelings of a healthier lifestyle and detoxification even before you start the cleanse. Thanks to Mister Moon and staff - these initial feelings are quickly substantiated once on the detox - by daily clay shakes, what feels like a billion supplemental pills, nightly family dinners around the cushion friendly wooden dining table and the ol' daily colonic. If even a daily self-administered colonic can be enjoyable - then they must be doing something right over there!!

My boyfriend and I are both still glowing from the experience: lovely people, fabulous international new friends to keep in touch with, and healthy insides.
