Trailfinders' Megan Denton Brown gives an insight into Banyan Tree Samui
Banyan Tree Samui Expert Review
Megan Denton Brown
The Banyan Tree Samui is simply amazing! All rooms have a pool and are really private, perfect for a romantic holiday or honeymoon.
We stayed in a Partial Ocean View which was perfect because there was still sea views but amongst the gardens so it still felt really intimate and secluded. Full Ocean View Rooms have breathtaking views but are slightly less private as some are set on the beach, so definitely something to consider.
The service was incredible, and you have a dedicated villa host throughout your stay who you can just WhatsApp whenever you need anything. As the hotel is set on the hillside, it is very steep, and you can only get around by golf buggy. These are really easy to arrange - just send a WhatsApp and they are with you in five minutes!
The beach area is lovely, private to the Banyan Tree and has so many watersports to choose from. The resort has two main restaurants, and I recommend the Saffron which is Thai cuisine; it was a really nice experience, amazing service, and great food!
Top tip: Get up early, head down to the beach and watch the sunrise. It’s supposed to be the best sunrise on the entire island, and it was incredible! As the hotel is set on a private beach you'll probably be the only ones there too, so something really special if you can bear the early start!
