My stay at Banyan Tree was a beautiful experience, offering a luxurious and serene atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. However, I found the dining options, especially for dinner, to be lacking, and the resort activities seemed limited, focusing more on relaxation rather than engagement. Overall, it’s perfect for a tranquil getaway, but not ideal if you're looking for lots of activities.
