Banyan Tree Veya, Valle de Guadalupe

Dinner at Amapola was stunning, definitely a one of a kind experience.

Wonderful stay! Very peaceful super quiet. Lots of great wellness offerings. The massage we got at the spa was one of the best I’ve ever had! The staff are all lovely. Our room was super spacious and gorgeous. Unfortunately it was too hot for us to enjoy the plunge pool in our room until after the sun went down. Breakfast was always very good with solid choices. We enjoyed visiting the winery on site overall an amazing and relaxing stay

Incredible stay and experience, the property and villas are beautiful and the staff were incredibly welcoming!

We spent a lovely weekend at this resort and thoroughly enjoyed the tranquil, eco-friendly atmosphere. The property leans heavily into nature, featuring gorgeous living roofs and ultra-private villas that make you feel completely secluded. The Highlights: Accommodations & Amenities: The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and packed with in-unit amenities to make your stay easy. Dining: There are plenty of diverse dining options available, and every meal and drink we tried was genuinely delicious. The Spa: The staff is wonderfully friendly, and I had a very relaxing massage. Things to Keep in Mind: Getting Around: The resort is expansive and relies heavily on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to transport guests around the property. Because of this, it’s best to plan your schedule and movements ahead of time rather than trying to wing it. The Spa Facilities: During our visit, both the steam room and the sauna were out of order. Additionally, the bathroom and changing areas in the spa are quite compact, so you may want to plan accordingly before your treatment. The Main Pool: The main pool area is very sandy and currently lacks towel service or poolside attendants, so be sure to bring your own towels from the room if you plan to swim. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot if you are looking to unwind in a private, natural setting, as long as you plan ahead for the property's layout and amenities!

First of all, the rooms are lovely. Nicely furnished, spacious and the beds and linens so comfortable. Our villa had its own plunge pool and outdoor cabana. We had a nice valley view facing east (sunrise) The bathroom was spacious with two sinks. Our favorite part was the indoor/outdoor shower. Private , and so inviting. The reception area is located at the top of the property. A golf cart takes you and your luggage up to it. There you will find the bar, restaurant, front desk, coffee and pastry shop and a small boutique. We also visited the spa which is quite lovely, albeit small and intimate. A very nice property. The staff is very attentive, from check in, to the rides to your room or pool, the restaurant staff and bartenders are also super nice. Seems great. Here is where the resort misses the mark. The small things that distinguish a nice hotel from a great hotel. 1) The housekeeping didn’t make up our room one day. They called us to apologize around 5:00 2) We ordered beer and water while at the pool and it was not delivered until an hour later, after we called front desk to inquire about our order. Again, the staff was so friendly, but slow 3) Drinks at sunset on the patio took over 20 minutes to serve. Keep in mind, we were the only couple at the bar when we ordered. Just slowwwwwww. 4) The day after we had lunch and drinks at the pool, we got a ride from our room back out to the pool. All our dishes, pizza box, glasses and towels where still exactly where we had left them the previous afternoon . The only thing missing was the one slice of pizza we left in the box, apparently a bird or animal finished it off for us. After the manager embarrassingly cleaned up, he said he would send out some waters. Wow, it took 45 minutes and a phones call reminder. The food on site is very good. The menus lack a little variety. Every meal we ate there was satisfying but again, the service took forever. Keep in mind, again we were the only couple in the restaurant for our breakfast and dinners. Again, the staff is very attentive and friendly but the attention to detail is not quiet “5 star “. They are very well trained, but execution was lacking. .
