J K TripAdvisor review

My family and I spent a few days at the Banyan Tree in Koh Samui and it was nothing short of excellent. Prior to arriving, given the length of time since opening; my key concerns were whether there would be evident wear and tear of the facilities and resort, however, the Banyan Tree facilities were top tier and it is impossible to tell how long the resort has been established as it is so well maintained. The villas are luxurious and large, with plenty of space to cater for families. Each villa has a dedicated host who is easy to reach via WhatsApp and helps to schedule meals, activities and is a point of contact for queries. Each and every colleague at the Banyan Tree greeted us kindly and enthusiastically which is an asset to the brand. The small downfall - but by no means did it takeaway from the trip - is that the buggy service can take between 5 - 15 minutes and as the resort is located in the cliffside, it is difficult to walk the routes. Further, the attention to detail from some of the kitchen staff was somewhat disappointing, as several orders were not delivered as requested. Overall, I would highly recommend Banyan Tree for its luxurious villas, stunning ocean and jungle views and brilliant hospitality.

Koh Samui luxe stays - Banyan Tree vs Four Seasons

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Priscilla F TripAdvisor review

Stayed at both Banyan Tree and Four Seasons Koh Samui in January 2026 with my partner. At half the price of Four Seasons, Banyan Tree is impressive. It's food was outstanding and better than FS. The room facilities were excellent with extra amenties like international chargers. Where it could improve would be communication. While they have a personal concierge service, unlike FS, who a day or so before introduce themselves for anything and everything via whats app, BT send a multi layered email with PDF brochure, a QR code that lead to frustraiton, and a whats app number but without clear instructions about what to use it for. They also didn't offer a personalised induction to everything about the resort on arrival. FS were great at this. Also, a lot of their information, like menus was via QR code which isn't great if you want a break from your phone or prefer paper format. However the facliities and food were hard to beat. At Banyan I organised my own private Muay Thai instructor to visit the hotel and at Four Seasons they had they're own. Both were good experiences, Banyan about a third less costly.

Dear Priscilla F, Greetings from Banyan Tree Samui! Thank you for making our resort one of the choices for your tropical getaway and for sharing your comments. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your stay at our resort was first-class and that you found it to be a beautiful place to relax and switch off. I am pleased to learn that your pool villa delivered the perfect setting for you and that you took delight in the comfort and design of your private space as well as the amenities on offer to ensure your comfort. Our culinary team strives to deliver exceptional dining experiences and it is wonderful that you were impressed with the culinary options provided at our dining venues. I am delighted to read that the majority of your stay was enjoyable and that our team was able to attend to your needs throughout your stay. However, I regret to learn that you did not receive information about resort happenings and recommendations in a seamless manner. We strive to create tailored experiences for our guests and to connect with them to learn about their interests for their holiday and it is disappointing that we were not proactive in this regard to engage in conversation and discover more. While it does little to benefit you at this point, our Guest Services Centre is always just a push of button away and would have been glad to assist you in these matters or to advise one of our Villa Hosts to connect with you in person. Moreover, please note that we also offer private Muay Thai lessons from our team and can cater to your preference for an indoor or outdoor setting. It is unfortunate that you had to contact an outside instructor for this service and I hope we shall be able to provide this for you during a future visit. Priscilla F, thank you for your stay with us at Banyan Tree Samui and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future to our Sanctuary for the Senses. With kind regards, Katejiraporn Kaewngarmsa-ard (Apple) Hotel Manager
