Banyan Tree Anji Reviews

My first experience at Banyan Tree completely overturned my concept of a "perfect stay." Molly, our housekeeper, was attentive, like a perfectly balanced breeze. From the thoughtful reminders upon check-in to the thoughtful arrangements throughout our itinerary, every touch of hospitality was soothing and comforting. The complimentary travel photography session was a pleasant surprise—the interweaving of light and shadow and smiles captured those fleeting moments into breathtaking memories, adding a touch of tangible tenderness to our trip. Afternoon tea was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The exquisite desserts paired with the subtle aroma of tea slowed down time and filled it with a sense of relaxation. As night fell, the Anji specialties in the Chinese restaurant captivated our taste buds. The juicy bamboo shoots and the authentic, rich earthy flavors of the local cuisine—each bite was a gift of the local region, and the aftertaste still leaves my mouth watering. The most unforgettable moment was the sunset ceremony. The setting sun gilded the distant mountains, and the evening breeze carried the fragrance of grass and trees. Sitting cross-legged with my companions, we watched the rosy glow spread across the sky. The tranquility and beauty of that moment is perhaps the most moving part of travel. This trip was more than just a stay at a great hotel; it felt like a dream filled with tenderness and surprises.
