We recently returned to stay after a two year absence. Last time the Spa Pool Villas were part of the wider BTP but they have now been badged as a separate entity and they have 'upped the ante' in terms of the offering. Sure, you can still use all the facilities of the main hotel but the Spa Villas are set appart and of a far higher quality as you can see from the website.
Our package included daily massages of your choice (in your own private Sala) delightful 'in villa' breakfasts from a bespoke a la carte menu and a level of personal service that is second to none. We were treated to Villa 211 this time around which is the biggest, overlooks the lagoon and comes with an additional glass sided lounge with sofas, flat screen TV and a dining table that seats 6 - a real bonus when partaking in 'in villa' dining. The sense of seclusion and luxury is wonderful and if you like to relax in complete privacy I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We only ate on site once during this stay and enjoyed an excellent (albeit expensive) meal at 'Tre'. The Spa Pool Villas are located perfectly for a 5 minute stroll to Bang Tao beach where the freshest seafood imaginable (straight from the tank!) can be enjoyed at the reasonably priced Lotus. The Siam Supper Club is also worth a look and if you phone them, they will pick up and collect you from the hotel's main reception, dropping you off when you've finished your meal.
This place is not cheap and the Laguna complex is not the most scenic part of Thailand but as I type this review from a Reserve Villa at the Ritz Carlton at Phulay Bay, I know where I would rather be and which place represents better value for money. The Banyan Tree wins hands down and a third trip somewhere down the line is inevitable - try it for yourself and have the experience of a lifetime.
