Been to the higher-end resorts of Bali? Pangkor Laut? Berjaya Langkawi? Avillion Melaka? This is like them - low density sprawling villa-in-forest by-the-sea concept, quite far from urban sprawl, focus on never leaving the resort, lots of spa, swimming pool usage. Food is good and staff are a cut above the rest. You get pleasant complimentary surprises during your stay... More

Absolutely beautiful first rate resort with customer service that exceeds the highest of expectations. I'd go back without thinking twice (if it weren't so remote) and offer the higest of recommendations for any couples looking for a 5-star resort in Southeast Asia.

The Banyan Tree is a short, easy ferry ride from Singapore. We were met as we disembarked the ferry and were in an air conditioned car on the way to the resort within 10 minutes. The room (each an individual villa) was lovely with a spectacular view of the South China Sea. Our rate included breakfast and a free yoga... More

Stayed here for 3 days in May while visiting Singapore. Beautiful place to just relax and recharge our batteries after a manic 3 days sightseeing in Singapore. Our villa was breathtaking - beautifully clean & comfortable. The housekeeping team were fantastic - Edy & Marcel were such friendly warm people. In fact all of the staff were amazing - nothing...

Banyan Tree should realize that the value of a getaway is enhanced when guests are comfortable that they can... More

Whisked away by a private car from the ferry terminal to the resort upon our arrival. We were welcomed into the resort and promptly attended to by Ms Rie at the Front desk. We had cold towels and a refreshing welcome drink for the morning. Despite the room being not ready as we were early, we took a walk along... More

This is probably our 4th visit. Quite a bit of renovation has been done. The jacuzzis has been converted and much better now. The daybed has been extended however the bed is abit too high. The explanation is for us to see the sea first thing we are up but each time we try to get up the bed in... More

We had very high expectations of the Banyan Tree Bintan however, throughout our 2 night stay, we were met with constant disappointments. During our first afternoon, we were excited to do something out of the ordinary and wanted to try one of the destination dining options. When I called up the operator we were told that this particular option had... More

Andry too brought us everywhere (even Friday prayers!) and he... More
