8/10 Very good

We spent eight days at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and it truly felt like the tiniest slice of paradise. The island is intimate, peaceful and beautifully kept, with the kind of turquoise water that makes it very easy to switch off completely. We upgraded to all inclusive on arrival and, for the price, were initially surprised by a few exclusions. After feeding this back, Aden and, from a distance, Elias, helped us make the very best of our stay, supported throughout by our wonderful concierge Allath. We felt listened to, which made a real difference. The catamaran experience was a huge highlight. The crew were exceptional, the marine life was out of this world, and the lunch prepared in advance by Chef David was outstanding. We also booked a Balinese full body massage with Lin and Katrin, who were so skilled and sweet that we immediately booked another. Food was consistently great across all three outlets, with Madi Hiyaa, the award winning Japanese restaurant, my personal favourite. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and the team, especially Uma, were so warm and attentive. At Saffron, Fipit and Nafiz greeted us daily with the biggest smiles, and Chef Pro Santa made our mornings with his delicious farm fresh eggs and sense of humour. Not without small teething issues, but overall an incredibly beautiful and relaxing stay.

The resort provided just what we need to disconnect and recharge. 4-days in paradise. We booked a beach villa (sunset view) with private pool as well as all inclusive and this combination provided everything we needed. For transparency if you are susceptible to heat/humidity please note that the bathroom is open thus gets very hot and humid. Do request a floor fan ahead of your arrival to help offset the humidity. The staff are great and will provide. I do recommended this resort and will return in the future.

einfach nur paradiesisch

wir waren 11 Nächte an diesem wunderschönen Ort und können das Hotel wärmstens empfehlen: + komplette Barfussinsel + Essen ist hervorragend + viele Fische / wunderschönes Riff direkt auf der Nachbarinsel mit kostenlosem Transfer + Service / die meisten Mitarbeiter sind schon viele, viele Jahre dort und ein top eingespieltes Team + wunderschöner Stil der Villen, natürlich gehalten Um noch ein Level höher zu erreichen hier noch kleine Mini-Details zum Verbessern: - beim Roomservice fehlte bei 6 von 9 Bestellungen immer irgendetwas - beim Frühstück muss man gewisse Sachen selber holen, wie Wasser (könnten auch ohne Problem die Angestellten, anstatt rumzustehen) - Smoothies werden am Frühstück nur auf Verlangen und Extrakosten serviert (12 Dollar pro Smoothie) - Allgemein ist das Essen eher teuer
