We stayed here for a full week which is unusual as most residents seem to be from Bahrain and GCC states staying for a one or two night break. The hotel is very quiet mid week and still not too busy at the weekends. The resort is popular with local and expat families who tend to stay in their villa... more

This will be one of the more challenging reviews I have written for Trip Advisor for reasons which will soon become apparent. My partner and I arrived at the Bahrain airport after a long flight from Detroit. We were met by the Banyan Tree representative and escorted to the waiting Mercedes. He put our luggage into the trunk and we... more
