Juan and Jazmin made our trip very pleasant and easy. They were both great concierge members at Banyan and booked us all our experiences and reservations. Everything about the resort is magical. I will definitely be returning soon. Thank you so much!

My husband and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Banyan Tree, an exquisite resort we would absolutely come to again. We stayed in a serenity suite in the 500s which was perfect as it was private yet close to the lobby where all of the food and pick ups are. We could easily walk there, although bikes are also provided if you're further away. I am also GF and DF and ate everywhere without issue and plenty of options. Everything we ate was delicious - room service from the lunch menu, Sands beach club for lunch, Saffron, Tomahawk, and Cello for dinner. La Copa is also great for meals or for bites. The breakfast buffet at Oriente was delicious. For a 4 night stay, we saw no reason to leave and eat anywhere else although you can certainly do so at the resorts nearby. The signature drinks at each spot are also quite good. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. If you need anything, just ask. The beach is a bit far if you're not staying directly on it, but you can also easily request a golf cart to and from. It is also a very enjoyable bike ride away. I highly recommend riding the bikes on the nature trail that winds around the resorts. I was also glad we had a heated pool in our villa because the weather was on the cooler side and the ocean/main pool were too chilly for us. Something to consider depending on the time you plan on going. We saw many small children and families; while we didn't bring our child on this trip it would have been an easy place to vacation together. We did not see many of the things Banyan offers - there are so many things on site (butterfly garden, small cenote, boat and dinner experiences) that we simply did not have time to do them all. It's hard to squeeze that much adventuring in when your room itself is so lovely that you never want to leave it. If you are looking for a romantic room with a private pool, convenient to a major airport where you can relax and be pampered and budget is less of a concern - look no further. This place was the perfect vacation and I hope we get a chance to return! Thank you to the wonderful staff who maintain the grounds, cook delicious meals, keep the facilities spotless, and cater to the guests' every request.
