It was relaxing. On our last night there was a knock on our inside villa door and we saw a flashlight shine under the door. The front desk said that they would check the cameras, but I would have felt better if security would have checked on us.

The accommodations were amazing. We loved our villa. Our concierge, Paulina, was always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The staff weee always trying to please, even if they messed up or were taking too long. They were trying. We were a bit shocked at how much all the food and drinks cost. It was quite high for the quality received. The beach seemed to be somewhat destroyed from some storms but they had some blockades to control the waves.

This was our 2nd stay at the Banyan tree. We love the location and hotel. Service however is not good unless you complain. The service at the restaurants, especially at the beach restaurant, is lacking and food takes forever to receive. Be sure to pick a package that includes breakfast as it is a fortune otherwise.

We have stayed at this property at least 6 times. The first time in around 2016 was incredible. However, the service and food just keep getting worse. The best food is at the beach. The remainder of the food is extremely over priced with little variety and when it does arrive it is not good. We paid close to $100 for a seafood pasta that was terrible to say the least. The bikes are scarce to find and are not in good or safe condition and the side walks need repair as they make bike riding unsafe. I had an accident on a bike at the hotel, broke my nose and wrist. It took forever to get assistance. The guest relations did then move us to a larger room for the rest of the trip so our adult children could visit with us in comfort so that was helpful. We love the location of this hotel but not sure if we would go back again due to complete lack of service and terrible expensive food.
