Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

LikedBeautiful private island with crystal-clear water, peaceful surroundings, and amazing hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly, always smiling, and very helpful throughout our stay. Special thanks to Fairooz for keeping our villa perfectly clean and refreshed every day, and to Okta from reception for helping us with everything we needed. They truly made our honeymoon unforgettable.

LikedAmazing experience. Every aspect, from the food, setting, staff, location, marine life, snorkeling and reef. Our personal concierge Afraah was there every step if we needed anything.

LikedThe staff were amazing especially Fatima and Shuja they were trying to assist us and make the stay memorable. Food was good different cosine for dinner every night. Island is a bit small but so calm and good place for relaxation

LikedThe resort has a great house reef (thanks to not having built over-water villas on it) where, just snorkeling, we saw a turtle, an eagle ray, a sting ray, and multiple reef sharks.

LikedThis was our second visit to this island. We loved the new Japanese restaurant, and the island has lots of very soft sand. The house reef is also good.

DislikedThe rooms could need an update now. They're starting to feel a bit old. There's really no great space to put suitcases in the room for instance.

LikedLocation good and clean with twice house keeping service to keep it clean smiling staff 2 resturants with good place for pictures And availability of ware sports

DislikedOverall beitiful i liked it and will come back again

LikedThe food was sooo delicious and for me as a vegetarian they provided a lot of options (and if there was nothing on the buffet I was allowed to order à la carte free of charge, this was much appreciated). The staff members were so friendly and helpful. The spa treatments were soooo good, would really recommend a Balinese massage. The villas and the beach are just a dream. We would love to come back to this beautiful piece of earth!

DislikedOn the check-out day the All Inclusive is only valid until noon. From then on you have to pay for your lunch, drinks etc. this I have found somewhat unfriendly for customers and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste as you think you have already paid for everything on the island (which is anyways quite a lot of money). I found this a bit petty of the hotel management. Furthermore, we were really annoyed about other guests on the island which took their personal music boxes to the pool and played their own loud music. This is a nuisance for all the other guests who just want to relax and listen to the sea or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. I know this complaint is actually aimed at the rude guests, but I also see the hotel staff as having a responsibility to instruct the guests and not allow music boxes in the public areas. Also note, that the villas are very close together so you might have a lot of noise from your neighbors.

LikedAll the details of the hotel were amazing, the weather was beautiful, cool and rainy. The room arrangement was perfect, smells fresh and refreshing. The food was delicious and knew the restaurants sitting area was so good.

DislikedThat we will the place only
