The Banyan Inn

I've traveled to over 100 countries and stayed in thousands of hotels, resorts, guesthouses but the Banyan Inn is my favorite! When my boyfriend and I arrived, it felt like home. The property is beautiful, quiet, charming and quaint with a refreshing pool too. It had a bed and breakfast type vibe (with only 6 rooms) which I loved. The place felt very authentic, peaceful and relaxing. Amy (the owner) is a kind, friendly, lovely and gracious host with a beautiful soul. She is so detail-oriented and helps you with anything you need. She let us borrow her jeep to go grocery shopping and to the karaoke bar. She took us out to dinner and the Thursday Fish Fry. She gave us so much helpful information too. She even rescued us when our kayak almost sunk. I can't even tell you how appreciative and grateful I am that I met her. She is like a sister to me and part of my family. She made my vacation so special and memorable. I also enjoyed the late night chats, happy hour, all her incredible stories/advice and all the moments we shared exploring the island. Thank you, Amy! I loved my stay here and can't wait to return! By the way, the bed is so comfortable! My bf and I wanted to stay in it all day. We also loved the open shower and views of the canal and ocean. Don't forget to watch the gorgeous sunset from the patio and check out the private beach (with the kayak). For dinner and live music, check out Bob's. Just a short walk from Banyan Inn. Also, the Sunscreen, bug spray, towels, chairs, umbrellas, kayak and snorkel is included too. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation! Enjoy!

The Banyan Inn was exactly what my friend and I were looking for, an incredibly peaceful and beautiful getaway from our normally busy lives!! This had a real bed and breakfast type feel, so personal and laidback, like you were visiting a friends house for the weekend. Amy, the owner, is so awesome!! She is down to earth, fun to talk to, and was so attentive in helping us with recommendations whenever we needed it, and even took us to the grocery store when we arrived!! She had the room stocked with bug spray, sunblock, beach chairs and towels, snorkel gear, basically anything you could need! She has kayaks you can take out whenever you want as well, and my friend and I kayaked a short distance from the inn to this private beach, which I highly recommend as it’s beautiful (see pictures). The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and nicely designed! Black, the inn keeper, and Leslie, the grounds keeper, are so friendly as well and willing to help with whatever you need. The only issue we had was not listening to Amy when she told us to reserve a car before we arrive, rookie mistake!! If Amy tells you to get a car, LISTEN TO HER!! Unless you are staying right along grace bay and plan on only staying in that area, you will need transportation to get around the island as things are spread out quite a bit, and taxis are hit or miss (no gov regulation so they can charge whatever they want). Luckily, my friend and I found this wonderful man named Donovan that was super reliable and honest so he took us to and from most places. If you’re not sure whether to book, this is your nudge to just book it already, you will not be disappointed!!

Amy, was very helpful and welcoming. The location for diving with Aqua Tci was perfect. The room had everything you could need, bug spray, suntan lotion, beach stuff and a kettle and mini fridge - Amy has thought of everything. The pool is lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a relaxed informal time to do your own thing in a lovely setting.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at The Banyan Inn. Before we even arrived, Amy recommended Aqua TCI as the place to do scuba along with a car rental company. Her recommendations throughout our trip were equally as amazing. The Inn is clean, comfortable and beautiful. It's on a Marina, so it's quiet but with beautiful views of the ocean. The pool on the property is gorgeous. Amy, the owner, is a kind, hardworking woman. We sat under the gazebo one night and had rum and coke that she provided You will need a car (but I'd recommend that for Provo in general) and you're about 15 minutes away from everything. So it's a nice quiet oasis if you don't want to be in the heart of downtown. We can't wait to come back!

Amy is a warm, hardworking, hostess and resource for her guests! The mattress was incredibly comfortable, the room large, bathroom lovely with beautiful shower tile! My only comment that is not great albeit not awful is the lack of decent coffee and even minimal breakfast. Amy does have a pot, and bottles of water, with packets of coffee but that doesn’t work well. We had to open the pod and dump the grinds in hot water and let them settle to the bottom of the mug :(. We really rely on, and enjoy, coffee in the morning so this was a bummer. The property is kept up beautifully, pool is lovely and workers very friendly!! One downside is that it’s a drive to anywhere you go, grocery store, beaches, restaurants etc so that is not great. BUT, in the end I say that for the price (around $260/night), it’s well worth the money! Amy is a fantastic hostess and works so hard on the property each day and we wish her great success!
