Wonderful family trip

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

brad c TripAdvisor review

The facilities are amazing. The service couldn’t be better. The restaurants are good but not worth the price. The drinks and food by the pool are great but expensive.

A mostly magnificent tropical escape in need of a refresh.

This is truly a unique and one of a kind resort experience fit for any romantic or honeymoon getaway. The resort resides in a jungle with private lagoons, rivers and bike paths. Every room comes with personal bikes to get you around the resort and the extended resorts nearby. The highlights: - Enormous private room with large private pool, spa, massive outdoor bathtub (very romantic with a candlelit wall), 2 outdoor showers and an indoor personal steam room (broken, but I’ll get to that later). - Extremely friendly staff that are always happy to assist whatever the need including making recommendations as to what restaurants are a must and others maybe to avoid. - Most of the restaurants/ food was outstanding. A couple places to avoid (get to that). - really can’t beat the overall ambiance, just an incredible experience. - the private sunset boat ride with tapas was something my wife and I will not soon forget, truly an inedible romantic experience and our Captain, Cesar, was awesome ! The not so great stuff: - Being that this is a 5 star resort, which you are constantly reminded of given how outrageously priced everything is, there would be certain expectations to be met such as: rooms in desperate need of a refresh or TLC. We found the first day that our lights were not working in our room in addition to a broken steam room in the shower, lights falling apart in the spa and overall state of certain elements within the room were in disrepair. Many missing pool tiles or half assed repair work was clearly visible. Rusting structural elements of the open pergola lean-tos on the upper deck. Some light outside just outright not working or burnt out. I don’t believe I’m nit picking when paying well over $1000 per night for a room. The room should be perfect. I will say, the resort made attempts to fix the steam room, although it took 2 days to fix out of the 3 nights we were there so I only got to use it once. The lights to the bedroom were fixed after about an hour of a very nice maintenance man running around. Overall, I think we spent 2-3 hours in the room with maintenance people fixing things that should have been working prior to our arrival. - We went to Tomahawk, the premier steakhouse, for my birthday dinner. Staff was friendly and accommodating as always, but the food was marginal at best. For a $600 steak dinner with a bottle of wine, I did feel it was worth the expense. The signature tomahawk steak was ok but certainly not worth the price paid. The cut was very fatty, chewy and not trimmed properly. It was cooked to our liking though of medium rare, a plus these days given the failure at other high end steakhouses we have visited both stateside and abroad. Again, overall the food on property was excellent. The made to order breakfast quesadilla at Orient breakfast buffet was out of this world and one of the highlights of all the things we ate. Overall, the resort (bedsides the room and dinner at tomahawk) was 5 star. If you’re looking for a beautiful, safe and unique romantic experience. Look no further.z thanks again to the banyan tree staff for an amazing and memorable experience.

Luis H TripAdvisor review

Old property nice lobby , old rooms with issues as contact that did not work properly, tv streaming did not work. Overpriced meals and horrible service. Would not recommend staying here, especially if you want a beach resort experience. Restaurant service extremely slow and poor, mot what you expect in this price range!
