Ultimate relaxation destination in Macau. From the moment we arrived at the Banyan Tree, we were immersed in a welcoming atmosphere that transported us straight to the heart of Thailand. While the initial burst of energy and cultural immersion was exhilarating, it was the gradual unfolding of tranquillity that made our stay truly unforgettable.
Our suite featured an elegantly extended wading pool overlooking the canal, which our baby loved to play in, creating a peaceful retreat that felt worlds away from the bustling casinos. The deep wooden bathtub added a luxurious touch, providing a sense of serene abandonment during use. We were delighted by the thoughtful extras provided for our 10-month-old, including a tent, crib, teddy bear, and numerous other little touches. Extra kudos to the hotel for their luxurious toiletries—some of which we couldn't resist taking back with us.
The butlers, all of whom were fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin and very well trained, ensured that everything went smoothly. The hotel’s thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail in every corner ensured that each moment felt like a soothing escape. The expansive spa offered a state of deep relaxation, allowing us to fully unwind and savour the peaceful surroundings.
The dining options were excellent, and I managed to get my laps in at their indoor pool. The gym had a good array of machines, and although I typically prefer free weights, the relaxation-focused nature of our holiday made me appreciate the options available.
Overall, the Banyan Tree Macau provided the perfect sanctuary to recharge and embrace the serene moments that we all cherished.
