The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Spa Experience

I indulged in the Rainforest package at the on-site spa, which included various hydrotherapy treatments. It was an lovely experience, although I felt a more personal touch would enhance the relaxation. Nevertheless, the calm atmosphere and serene setting made it a perfect escape after long days on the beach. I would recommend booking additional massage time for a more leisurely experience.

Delicious Culinary Delights

The food at Banyan Tree Samui was truly impressive. I savored the Thai dishes at the Saffron restaurant, which were rich in authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The breakfast buffet at Sands also featured a vast array of choices, with made-to-order options that delighted my palate each morning. I particularly enjoyed the pork sausages and noodle soups.

Stunning Villa Retreat

Staying in the Royal Banyan Ocean Villa was a dream come true. The view from our private infinity pool overlooking the turquoise waters was amazing. The villa was spacious, with a lovely sitting area and luxurious bathroom features that enhanced our comfort. I adored returning to find thoughtful little gifts left by housekeeping each evening.

Comfy and Cozy

The bedroom in our villa was an oasis of comfort. The bed was incredibly large and plush, guaranteeing a restful night's sleep. Additionally, the use of calming pillow sprays and the good scents from oil burners during turn-down service added a special touch to our experience, making every evening feel magical.

My experience at Banyan Tree Samui was a mix of highs and lows. The private infinity pool in our villa had breathtaking views, making it a surreal escape. However, the initial room issues really dampened the start of our stay. The service was exceptional and the dining was varied and delicious, but I found some of the facilities, like the air conditioning, lacking at times. Overall, it was a beautiful resort, but there are areas that need improvement.

Rooms

The room we initially booked had some significant drawbacks. Although one room was spacious and well-kept, the other felt outdated, and the air conditioning struggled to keep the space comfortable. However, the upgrade to the Presidential Suite was a game changer with its gorgeous view and modern amenities.
