This place is teeming with life and more visually stunning than the pictures reveal. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The folks at Banyan Tree really take good care of the land and home/ outbuildings here. I enjoyed the bird sounds and the fruit gown on site. The views are spectacular. The other guest I have met have been generous and open. If you are unwilling or unable to embrace the bugs and geckos of the jungle, you might choose another place to stay. I did not find the bugs to be an insurmountable obstacle. Once I learned how and when they appear and how to get rid of the more unsavory ones safely, it was no issue. Benjamin was lighthearted and a joy to be around, Margaret Amiracle, was like a shy cat and rarely was interacting, though very kind. Raybo was quickly able to be accommodating when a rare mega rain flooded the house and my room, I was relocated to the upper level of the house. I am headed back to Banyan Tree in a few days to spend the last couple of island nights there before I go home to Minnesota. Banyan was part of an unforgettable adventure. Maholo.
