A nice property located in a beautiful area. The hotel property is somewhat isolated from Yangshuo, yet offers peace and quiet when wanted.
As a first time visitor to a Banyon Tree Property, I expected the service of a 4-5 start well organized property. What I found was frustration followed by continued disappointment. On our first morning, we arranged a taxi (requires 30 min due to location) and was provided the driver’s number. The driver notified us of his arrival and we proceeded to the lobby. When we arrived 2-3 minutes later, the taxi is gone. We called the driver and was told the hotel put other guests in the car. The driver offered to return, but after talking with Hotel was told not to. With pre-arranged tickets, we had no time to wait for another taxi and spent too long arguing with the front office manager.
The disappointment that followed included difficulty being waited on in Chinese restaurant, forgotten beverage orders at breakfast, room temperature not dropping below 25c and it continued.
A nice property, but much improvement needed to turn a stay into a nice experience.
