"We stayed for two nights with our kids, and having just come from the Conrad, we naturally had some comparisons to make.
1. **Location:** The hotel's location is excellent, nestled in a private bay, which provides a fantastic environment and superb overall privacy. The bay is calm, perfect for swimming, and the water temperature is wonderfully warm. There are also many activities available, including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, and snorkeling.
2. **Rooms:** All the rooms are villas with private pools. After a day of swimming in the sea, you can enjoy a swim in your room's pool in the evening. Although the hotel has been open for a long time, there are no signs of aging; it's very well-maintained. The bathroom was particularly impressive, with a quadruple shower head setup that could accommodate three people at once, and the water pressure was excellent.
3. **Service:** You can call for a buggy anytime, and it usually arrives in about 5 minutes. Anna was our butler, and she was wonderful, providing personalized butler service. She could handle all our bookings and requests.
4. **Dining:** Breakfast was just average. However, we had dinner at the Michelin-recommended Thai restaurant, and the food was delicious. You need to ask your butler to make a reservation for you at least a day in advance.
Overall, we were very satisfied with Banyan Tree and would definitely stay here again on our next visit."
