The thing you need to realize before you stay at the Banyan Tree (any Banyan Tree) is that it is going to cost a lot of money. I would say that if staying at the Banyan Tree means you can't afford another few nights somewhere else as part of your holiday, don't stay here. It cost us $1000 a night... More

1) Check-in went smoothly (although it was a little bit slow) and the complimentary drinks to welcome us was lovely. 2) Since we e-mailed the villa before arriving there to ensure that we get good services/rooms etc, so we infact did get a very lovely room.

The service staff was excellent, and the ambience really relaxes the mind. The only inconvenience is getting out of the resort, but I guess this applies for every resort in Bintan island. More

Everything including furniture, bathrooms and even linen could do with an upgrade. Considering the premium that Banyan Tree charges, the current condition is not acceptable. Positives.. The resort...

The villas were well spaced, so lots of privacy. Service was excellent, as to be expected of BT group. Amazing spread at breakfast....I could marry the waffle guy! Unfortunately, all these positive points were overshadowed by the fact the villas had seen better days. The private hot tub on the deck looked really grubby. Even the wooden decking at the... More
