Banyan Tree Phuket

Lovely pool villas and really great service, particularly the General Manager who is always happy to help. They have some small renovations going on at the moment but it only had a minor impact on our stay, which was quickly resolved by the General Manager. The new beach club is really nice too, we will definitely be back!

This place is stunning. Set in a series of lagoons about 20 minutes from Phuket airport. We stayed in a signature pool Villa and it was incredible. Inside the Villa was excellent with so much space even with a giant super king bed. The outside was perfect and we spent most of our time there. Great sunbeds and pool and the covered area was great for shelter from the sun or short downpours of rain. The facilities were exceptional and food incredible. It is more pricy than typical thailand prices but that is expected for what is more than a five star hotel experience. My wife has gluten allergies and they were so helpful and made sure options were available at breakfast. This was just what we needed before travelling south to Karon and kata. Would highly recommend the banyan tree we loved it.

After reading some negative reviews I was a little worried but Banyan Tree is truly a 5* resort with high level of services. Staff was very friendly, attentive and prompt. Food was very delicious, we tried Safron and Hojo restaurant and the service and food was beyond pur expectations. Breakfast was very delicious too. Room was clean, spacious and well maintained, pool with clean water was checked by pool service daily. The surrounding nature, trees, palms and gardens are very well maintained and you can cycling around inside the resort endlessly. We travel a lot and simply knew that Banyan resorts are always a guarantee of quality so was Banyan Tree Phuket too. We will definitely come back next year.

Very nice stay in a double pool villa. Efficient Check in/ Check out ( in the room), very efficient buttler trough whatsapp , room is big , clean, nice furniture, nice private pool and jacuzzi. Nice expérience ( barbecue inside villa, floatting breakfast in the villa, private yacht booking …) . 3 caviat: property is very big, you have private bike or buggy to call, beach club need to take a shuttle every 15min with 10min ride, lake or second pool not fully cleaned. All in all an excellent stay and memory.

During my stay, the main lobby was under renovation, so I couldn't use the Watercourt buffet or the Saffron restaurant. The breakfast buffet was moved to the golf course, but all the tables were outside, and it was so hot that it was difficult to eat. As a result, I ended up ordering room service for breakfast almost every day. One of the staff who brought us coffee and breakfast to us (for room dining) had implicitly asked us for tips several times during our stay. He wouldn't leave my room until he gets tip. He was annoyed at me because I ordered coffee in the morning (3 days in a row), and he made a big show of bringing me the coffee. And when he brought us the food, he acted like he was doing me a huge favor by giving me some of it for free. But it doesn't make sense since the food is already included in the price. And on the last day of my stay, when I ordered full set breakfast, he forgot to bring me several items including butter & jam, orange juice, coffee, and bread. Overall, the hotel's facilities are outdated and need improvement. Specifically, for a 5-star hotel, it's disappointing that most bathrooms don't have bidets, as this is a common amenity. The hotel also needs to address the musty and moldy smell that comes from the air conditioning. Furthermore, the housekeeping team's cleaning tools appeared very old, which didn't give guests a sense of cleanliness.

Great staff. They were all kind and helpful. Done rooms can be updated. The pool villas have not been updated. They are dark, old, and not worth the money. At a minimum stay at the serenity pool villas. Huge difference.

Property is very nice - very quiet and serene. Beach requires shuttle/boat, which isn’t bad but it’s not really walkable. The boat is a bit irregular on schedule. One night we were stuck on beach for longer than expected, but staff at the partner beach resort and banyan tree helped us with the shuttle.

Everything about the property was perfect! The breakfast buffet, the view of the golf course, the people, the hotel rooms… everything!

Don’t think of another place, just stay here. Amazing personalised service, the staff knew us after the first couple of days. Currently undergoing renovation but we never felt it, amazing through and through Special staff especially Du (who always had a smile on his face) and the whole buggy team, Pla and the saffron team, and our housekeeping staff member Suchada (K. Poo) Private pools are great, lots of free shuttles to nearby shopping, beach clubs, far enough from the other side of Phuket but still close enough if you want to experience it We spent 9 days there and honestly should’ve easily spent 9 more, we will be back in a few months

Wonderfully relaxing

My partner and I spent 5 days there for our honeymoon and it was an amazing resort!

I have been a customer of the Banyan Tree Phuket in numerous occasions over the last 15 years. It is unfortunate to see the condition of the facilities deteriorating as well as the room (510). The finishing is poor. Many defects. Painting. Broken towel holders poorly fixed. Breakfast definitely below standards in the past. I have been a huge fan of the Banyan tree for many years and hope you keep up the spirit of such fabulous hotel

Our experience was incredible.

Likes: - Friendly and efficient staff overall - Free on-premise (only) bicycle for each adult guest - Hotel transportation to private beach - Great view of lagoon - Privacy as this is a villa only property Improvements needed: - Brakes on most bicycles couldn't stop the bicycles (the property has lots of downward slopes) - need to use feet to stop on the narrow road to avoid incoming buggy cars - Waited ~20 minutes under the hot sun at the outdoor activities centre for the staff to arrive in order to get and use the hotel kayaks

Excellent

Just excellent

This is by far one of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed at in the world. The staff was amazing and I never had to wait more than a few moments for assistance or service. My suite was truly spacious and beautiful. Will absolutely return on my next trip to Phuket.

.

Lovely property enjoyed every minute . Most relaxed holiday ever - Golf -spa - swim - Food : will come back for all these again !
