Banyan Tree Phuket Review

Banyan Tree is possibly Phuket's most famous hideaway for honeymooners, sports stars, and high society. Private villas with walled courtyards, many with private pools or Jacuzzis, are spacious and grand, and lavishly styled in teakwood with outdoor bathtubs. The main pool is truly impressive -- a free-form lagoon, landscaped with greenery and rock formations -- with a flowing water canal. A small village in itself, the spa provides a wide range of beauty and health treatments in luxurious rooms -- you can request a private massage in your room or in outdoor pavilions. The resort can arrange barbecues at your villa, or you can dine at the Tamarind Restaurant, which serves delicious, light, and authentic health food. The Banyan Tree garners many international awards, especially for its Green Initiative and eco-friendly stance. In high season, peak surcharges apply.

Facilities:
6 restaurants; lounge; airport transfers; babysitting; fitness center; golf course; outdoor pool; room service; spa; 3 outdoor lit tennis courts; watersports equipment

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
