    Amazing experience!! I wouldn't ask for more When we arrived the hotel gave us an upgrade to beach villa The villa is very clean and we'll designed, it had a private swimming pool, jacuzzi as well, and access to the beach directly from the villa. Breakfast was included, we tried the moroccan restaurant and the hotel main restaurant. They offer different cuisine everyday in the main hotel restaurant, food there is unforgettable, so delicious and various, every single thing we had was really so yummy. The hotel is very safe and secured. People are so nice and kind. We had couple massage at the spa, that you must do. Very professional and relaxing not forgetting to mention the view 😍😍 I strongly recommend Banyan Tree 👌🏼

    This is definitely one of the best resorts I have been to. The staff are super nice, big thanks to Yasmina from the front desk. She was very welcoming and extremely helpful. Make sure to have your breakfast on the terrace of the main restaurant, breathtaking views. The resort is quite, calm, and very secluded. It is a perfect spot for honeymoon or a romantic getaway. Each villa comes with a private swimming pool and some villas have private jacuzzi as well. The attention to detail is incredible with Banyan Tree. The ocean view villas offer spectacular views of the Indian ocean. Even from your toilet you get breathtaking views. The beach villas provide direct access to the beach with less views. Mind that this is resort is on the southern area of the island, so the beach is a little bit rough with high waves. There is also a main infinity pool, which we usually used from after breakfast till noon. The hotel is also close to the Four Seasons hotel, which has a nice casino and some further dining options.

    The best location, views and beach on the island! An amazing hotel in the middle of a tropical forest on one of the nicest beaches in the world! The SPA is a dream, on top of the waves, in the middle of the forest, open to hear it all and sense what you’ve never sensed before... in a SPA! Can’t say enough about the views and secluded area and amazing nature, the attached pictures speak louder! HOWEVER! The service level is poor, very poor! From bad maintenance of the rooms, slow internet connection, to buggies never coming to pick you from your villa, to toilets not working, water breakage, in room dining forgetting things, reception staff unreliable, restaurant staff too slow and unprofessional, ... they apologize but do nothing about it... The hotel manager was very kind and did her best to relieve us in different ways, she knew about the issues and seems working on a solution. Would I go there again? It breaks my heart to say NO to those views, beach and SPA, but as long as the service level doesn’t improve, I believe this hotel is overpriced for what you pay for, precisely when it comes to the expected service from a 5* hotel.

    Magnificent place, totally isolated, direct access to most beautiful beach of Seychelles, only 60 villas with private infinity pool and jacuzzi with breathtaking views. Ideal place for honeymooner.. rooms are so comfortables and quites, staff is skilled, only the food is a problem, very modest breakfast, 2 restaurants open out of 3, one of them is fine dining. Overall experience is excellent and strongly recommend to pass few days in this paradise.

    Beautiful views from the rooms, excellent beach. Hospitality is great. People working at restaurants are very courteous. Biggest negative is the food, there are no beach restaurants, and any indoor activities like a game room or movie room or library are missing.

    I really love the resort, it is the place where you relax and enjoy peace life and away from all yours streets. All staff are friendly, welcome and kind especially Mohammed Sharif. One of the things I really appreciate is when they allowed me a late checkout till 5 PM because our flight was at 8 PM evening and I got family.

    Nice location. Hotel is old and looks used and a bit grubby. The worst is there are rats all over. We had two in front of our pool villa both dying of I assume rat poison. Asking the front desk to remove the dead rat took them over one hour. The overall service is very slow. One highlight is the spa area. Great massages but very expensive. Resume: not worth the money. I expected more from a Banyan Tree Hotel. I am not going their again.

    Thr first resort I visited when I went in 2008. Very peaceful and clean. Perfect for solo travel and for couples. Not very close to the center.

    Good evening, We are considering a reservation at the hotel for early august this year. We are aware that the winds around the island can be rather strong for this time of year . Would you kindly confirm that your location is quite sheltered and an idea of sun hours and temperature. Kindly regards L&k

😠 I have booked my stay with them 6 months in advance. Week before check in got a message that they cannot provide booking due to repairs. Suggested studio instead of 2 bedrooms. When I started asking questions they simply disappeared. Now I am left looking last minutes deals
