    We liked everything. The only thing to improve are the quality and the number of channels on the tv.

    The beach, pool and beach restaurant were excellent. The location of the whole resort and villa's were breathtaking. Our host was very professional, friendly and always available. The spacious villa with private pool and jacuzzi were awesome and the view spectacular.

    Given the price, we mistakenly assumed all rooms had some kind of view - this was not the case, please check the room details and pick accordingly. Beach is a bit rocky.

    Excellent breakfast, rooms are large and very well maintained even though not brand new, evening turn down service was a nice perk. Beach is very convenient but not the best. Staff is amazing, our 3 yr old loved the kids club and was very well looked after by Nota.

    Everything. Our villa was amazing, beautiful, spacious, flawlessly clean. It was private and quiet, as if nested inside a jungle, yet gave us the experience of true luxary. The staff was also amazing and friendly, I'll mention a few by name: our villa host Chan who checked in with us daily, offered us advice and recommendations when needed, and fulfilled every request we had. The housekeeper Pao that made sure our room remained clean and tidy picked up on our personal preferences without us saying anything. Kwan the host at the breakfast lounge that greated us with a smile each morning and made sure we have everything we need. Also everyone else that I don't remember by name, from the buggy drivers to the staff at the beach club.

    The moment you arrive to reception, the views are enchanting! The staff are all friendly, professional and accommodating. The grounds are immaculately presented, and the golf buggies to transport you around the resort are easily accessible. Breakfast in the hilltop restaurant area offers a range of items to suit a variety of needs. Hard to resist trying everything!

    not all, but the quality of food was not up to expectation and some items were not cooked properly (e.g tasteless). The butter at the breakfast buffet was not the best. The hairdryer in the room could be replaced with something better and stronger as it is quite mild.

    The location of Banyan tree, not too far or close to the city. The friendliness of staff, very accommodating, welcoming, and just hospitable. The efficiency of staff when it comes to services, such as cleaning and buggy rides. The cleanliness of the beach. The whole villa, the view, the quietness, serenity. In general, it was all amazing.

    There is NO power socket one side of the bed side table. Primitive!! It is cheap to wire it in and am shocked they have not done so. Gym floor should be rubberised and not thin carpets.

    Breakfast offering was good and I like the fact that every day it is a different offering of Asian/local food. The hotel could do with another restaurant like Italian or Jap.

    Only that issue with the expensive dinner options…

    I think there really is one word to describe this hotel: heaven. It truly felt like heaven on earth. But now in some more details… We stayed there in May 24’ for 8 nights - with our 1 year old baby girl. From the moment we arrived to the lobby, the service was incredible. We were greeted by our hostess (Dada - you’re amazing!) and given welcome drinks and refreshments. We arrived earlier than we were supposed to but the hotel still managed to arrange our room quickly. When we were taken to our room (they have these little buggies - electric go carts that drive you around the compound) we were in awe of the room. Well, if you can even call it a room. It’s a whole cabin - with its own pool - that’s isn’t even that small (for a private pool). The cabin is make up of a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Each section can be private as the ere are double doors between them - which was incredible for us because we put our baby to sleep in the living room and had our own private room. Aside from how gorgeous and comfortable the room is - we felt complete privacy. No one can see you from outside the cabin and it is so quiet and peaceful there! Oh, and the view - breathtaking. We booked the partial sea view - which was perfect for us, because we saw the beautiful trees and greenery as well as some of the beach/sea. Ok and now to the most amazing part - the breakfast. I swear, I could simply eat there all day. The breakfast room is gorgeous, sitting on top of the hill, overlooking the whole compound and sea, and the food is just so versatile, fresh and yummy! The staff is incredible, very attentive and professional (they were so helpful with our little baby, providing a baby chair and baby food and even playing with her). There was so much to choose from during breakfast, from your typical European and American style breakfasts to more eastern type food, Thai/Japanese and more. We absolutely waited to wake up just to head to the breakfast 😂. What’s else?
