Andre Duminy
Absolute heaven on earth. It was one of the best resorts we have ever stayed in.
Rooms were huge plush and very tastefully decorated. We absolutely loved the pool in our villa (B01), which had incredible views over the sea and the villas far away up the hillside. And, we couldn't hear another soul.
We almost never left the resort and lived Sands restaurant with its location next to the beach, and the huge and delicious portions. Room service was excellent too.
If you are looking for a place to unwind completely, this is it.

The staff here are all very lovely. They recommended great food and tourist spots, always smiling and taking good care of the customers. The Thai restaurant they suggested was incredibly delicious. The beach is also beautiful and relaxing, with a perfect atmosphere for a peaceful getaway.

We couldn’t have hoped for a better welcome! Care and attention from the staff was second to none - so friendly and accommodating.
The Villa was sublime and the rest of the facilities were perfect.
Spa treatment with Massy was fantastic- so relaxing and invigorating.
Beach staff were there to help when required, and helped make the stay so much fun!

Property is tugged away from the main road after a long narrow street with many unassuming lots and businesses. The entrance is relatively inconspicuous like other resorts in the area. Guarded security is a plus. Once inside the resorts, it feels safe and insulated from the outside. Naturally, in and out of the facility would be a hike and could be exhausting.
Quiet and safe all over the resort ground. Golf carts were primary transportation for guests and staff. Ground was clean with lots of shades from trees and vegetations. Comfortable to walk about. Steep at places.
Beach and main pool areas were well kept and supported by a super attentive crews.
Spa was clean, organized with soft ambience. Staff was skilled and world class.
Villas was well kept. While maintained yet signs of dating were showing. Lighting, air conditioning, and water flow/pressure were wonderful. There had been a few power interruptions during our stay.
English communication can be difficult with staff.
Limited access to the outside confined culinary experience. Eating at the 3 dining facilities was pretty much the only choices.
My biggest disappointment was my misguided expectation in seafood quality. Considering Samui is surrounded by water. I falsely thought fresh, sweet seafood can be found in such paradise, not so. Lobster, tiger pawns, oysters, scallops, squids, and fishes, flavorless and overcooked.
9-night stay to celebrate our 35th anniversary and my birthday. Dinner reservation made at Saffron, not one person congratulated us, really?

I must say that this stay and our experience was nothing short of perfection. First positive is of course the staff and service. They are incredibly kind and helpful and they go out of their way for you. Second is the room, which is a great place to stay and well designed and of course with a beautiful view. Third is the resort, which is beautiful spacious and in an excellent location nestled between two mountains. Banyan tree is exceptional and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
