My stay at Banyan Tree was a beautiful experience, offering a luxurious and serene atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. However, I found the dining options, especially for dinner, to be lacking, and the resort activities seemed limited, focusing more on relaxation rather than engagement. Overall, it's perfect for a tranquil getaway, but not ideal if you're looking for lots of activities.

We had an incredible stay at the resort! The staff truly made us feel special, and the attention to detail in service was remarkable. Our villa was luxurious with a very private pool, but we did notice a bit of mildew smell in the bathroom. While the dining experiences varied, the breakfast was outstanding and definitely a highlight. The location was exclusive and breathtaking, though it felt a bit secluded with fewer activities available.
