Hotel Banyan Resort (Hua Hin, Thailand)

Parents looking for the perfect family getaway, look no further. Two-bedroom villas comfortably house four or more in sizable surrounds, keeping everyone together, whilst affording each their own space. The pool is an amazing place to pass the time with loved ones in paradisiac privacy.

For the duration of your stay you're in the capable hands of first-class personnel. Check-in staff are warm and welcoming, service staff are courteous and attentive, shuttle drivers are conscientious and knowledgeable, and in the unlikely event of needing them, you'll find management approachable and solution-orientated.

A number of reviewers highly recommend taking advantage of the private BBQ service. For a very reasonable price, your own private chef from Lemongrass restaurant will come to your villa and cook up a culinary feast of fresh seafood and sumptuous steaks to satisfy the entire family.

While the majority enjoy a memorable stay, some suggest a little TLC is required. Stained carpets and curtains, messy microwaves, uncomfortable beds and smelly drains are among the list of issues that have sullied some experiences. Recent reviews suggest these issues are being sucessfully addressed.

Negative reviews for this establishment are few and far between. However, a recurring comment from reviewers regarding communication issues with some staff members suggest that English-language training wouldn't be remiss for both front-of-house personnel and service staff, especially when considering the hotel's international status.

Among the short list of guest grievances are concerns with water pressure in bathrooms, intermittent Wi-Fi and insufficient staff to assist with picking up and dropping off residents at their villas. These concerns are, however, sporadic, and don't detract from the profusely positive experience of the majority.
