As
often
is
the
case,
the
people
that
work
there
make
the
stay
wonderful,
mediocre,
or
awful.
The
staff
everywhere
at
the
Banyon
Tree
is
outstanding.
As
an
example,
the
man
that
greeted
us
for
breakfast
was
wonderful,
he
sat
us,
talked
to
us
about
food,
and
made
breakfast
recommendations:
Chilaquiles
with
steak
and
green
sauce,
out
of
this
world.
The
spa
was
wonderful;
same
kitchen
as
La
Nao.
The
villas
are
well
maintained,
oh,
the
housekeeping
staff
is
wonderful.
You
go
to
out
of
the
unit
and
magically
they
come
in
to
freshen
the
towels,
make
the
bed,
put
things
in
order
in
the
bathroom;
they
are
5
star
people.
What
is
more
important
in
the
stay,
you
need
something,
just
dial
zero,
the
ladies
will
have
it
to
you
quickly:
a
buggy
ride,
food,
restaurant
reservations,
etc.
We
will
return.
Suggestions:
the
plunge
pool
was
wonderful
as
the
temperature
at
which
you
keep
it
is
perfect,
but
the
calcium
from
the
hard
water
should
be
removed
if
possible
and
there
are
a
few
other
minor
physical
blemishes
that
need
touch
up.
The
restaurant
Saffron
was
very
nice,
the
food
is
lovely,
but
the
food
could
be
raised
a
notch,
we
did
not
have
anything
we
disliked
but
we
did
not
have
anything
that
was
WOW!
(I
say
this
to
help,
certainly
we
would
eat
here
again,
it
would
get
4
stars.).
The
only
negative
experience
we
had
was
dinner
at
La
Nao.
We
ordered
the
black
bean
soup,
the
duck
confit
appetizer,
the
octopus
with
lentil
and
the
lobster.
Everyone
of
these
dishes
were
awful.
I
had
a
couple
of
spoons
of
the
soup
which
looked
like
dirty
dishwater,
then
put
it
aside.
The
duck
confit
just
did
not
taste
right.
We
are
very
sorry
for
this
part
of
the
review,
we
would
eat
breakfast
there
(same
location
as
La
Nao)
every
day
of
the
week,
but
we
will
not
return
to
La
Nao
for
dinner.
Bottom
line,
stay
at
this
resort,
it
deserves
the
5
stars,
just
skip
La
Nao.
Enjoy
Saffron
and
other
nearby
restaurants.
Oh,
by
the
way,
the
suburban
transportation
service
available
through
the
hotel
gets
5
stars
also.
Safe
drivers,
comfortable
car,
and
the
drivers
will
often
say:
I
will
be
there
at
the
time
you
request,
but
if
you
need
a
little
more
time
to
enjoy
your
meal,
relax,
enjoy.
