Dear Christopher,Thank you for making Banyan Tree Samui your holiday destination and for sharing your comments. It is wonderful to read that you had a memorable stay with us and that you enjoyed relaxing amid our serene surroundings.From the comfort and design of your pool villa including the four-head rain shower in the bathroom to the tender touch of our therapists at our award-winning Banyan Tree Spa Samui, I am delighted that all combined for a fantastic holiday.While our beach does have rocks in the seabed, common terrain in most bays on Samui; however, as you have noted, we do provide protective shoes for our guests should they care to take this precautionary measure while they swim and we have a few channels that make it easy to access the deeper areas just off the shore. In recent years, these rocks were covered with sand, but the conditions changed after a recent tropical storm. We hope that with the monsoon season arriving at this time that the conditions may return to their usual state and provide an enhanced experience for our guests.Christopher, thank you once again for your stay and it would be our sincere pleasure to welcome you back to our Sanctuary for the Senses!With kind regards,Remko KroesenGeneral Manager

Beautiful vacation
The property is nicely surrounded by nature. The place was very clean and well taken care off. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We and also our 10 year old daughter appreciated the following: the variety of programs at the kids club, the private pool, the buggy service, the food, the massages and the great view from the villa (hillcrest). If you are looking for a very special and relaxing experience than we recommend the hotel. Big thank you to all the staff - you did an amazing job👍

Gorgeous property surrounding a crystal clear inlet with few waves. Villa was spacious, clean, with top class amenities. Staff service was excellent throughout the experience. I loved that there were a plethora of marine activities that were free to for use throughout the day. Special experiences like the "floating breakfast" was well worth the cost. The only thing to note is that while the F&B is very good quality, it was not stunning compared to the overall quality of the property.

Check in was easy and great. They provided a welcome drink and snack. The staff was very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was nice and clean. I really liked the room as it was kind of by itself up on the hill. Having the pool just outside the room was great and the hot tub was amazing, especially at night. The property was always being cleaned and the grounds were very clean also. Breakfast was good with the buffet, room service also made good food. Overall this was a great property and would go back

Superb experience in this luxurous hotel. Amazing stay in the luxurious rooms with an amazing view to the sea. Rooms are very clean, the service of the hotel was spectacular. Negative points: check in is too long (aprox. 10-15min), you also have to do a quite long online check in online so at the end you spend double time than necessary. The rest was just spectacular.

If you are looking to be pampered, treated like royalty in serene and spectacular surrounds, luxurious villa and incredible spa and dining experiences look no further than Banyan Tree Samui ! The friendly staff and attention to detail are beyond compare. Other than heading to Fisherman’s Village for an afternoon of JetSki, markets and dining one evening, we did not need to leave the Banyan Tree. It was our honeymoon and we spent 5 nights. We did the private dining on the beach followed by a rose petal bath which was amazing. We also dined at Saffron which is their premium Thai restaurant which was an incredible dining experience - amazing service, food and view! We also enjoyed dining at the Sands one night which is their casual restaurant and they had good live music and a fantastic fire show. We loved laying by the private beach and sipping cocktails and snorkeling. The water was warm and still and beautiful to swim in. The buffet breakfasts are also awesome! I had a 90 minute massage at the Spa which was brilliant and my husband did the rainforest experience at the Spa which he loved and was perfect for him given he doesn’t like massages. We consider ourselves hard to please but this place really lived up to its reputation. While we did see a few kids it’s not really somewhere I would take my own children - it’s somewhere ideal for quiet adult time. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I managed to find some child free time to recharge the batteries.
