I stayed at Banyan Tree Phuket for 4 nights and overall had a wonderful experience. The resort is incredibly spacious and serene, offering a perfect escape into nature. From the lush greenery and blooming flowers to the scenic lagoon views, every corner of the property feels thoughtfully designed and very calming.
The villas are large, private, and beautifully appointed, with a great private pool that adds a special touch to the stay. The spa was also a highlight — tranquil and professionally run. Dining at the resort was a pleasure; the food at the restaurants was consistently delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. I especially appreciated the kindness of the buggy drivers, receptionists, and restaurant staff — they truly made us feel welcome.
That said, there were a couple of small hiccups. Some staff, particularly in the gallery shop, seemed less trained in guest relations. On my last day, I entered the shop a few minutes before its official opening (the door was open), and rather than being greeted politely or gently informed, I was met with a loud and abrupt “No, no, no, not open.” It was an unpleasant moment that left a sour note at the end of an otherwise lovely stay. Additionally, the hotel doesn’t offer luggage folding services, which is a minor inconvenience for a property of this caliber.
Despite these issues, the beauty, atmosphere, and overall hospitality at Banyan Tree Phuket made the trip truly memorable. I would absolutely recommend it for anyone looking to unwind in a peaceful, nature-filled setting
