Banyan Tree Sanctuary is a SANCTUARY. Pure and simple. The grounds, the buildings and the room were ideal for relaxing and slowing down. Enjoy the open air kitchen, pool, sauna, hot tub, swings, gardens, lounge chairs.. and you will never want to leave. Keep to yourself OR meet new people in the common areas. It is environmental and ethical sanctuary so we appreciate that as well. Also get a massage from Yuka... she's very talented and helped our sore and tired bodies. We strongly recommend everything about Banyan Tree Sanctuary and can't wait to visit again soon.
(Note: If you are a four season / posh hotel type of travelers, this isn't for you.. Its definitely a bit rough around the edges but then you miss the charm and living in nature. We love the composting, the environmental approach, the open air living, the communal living meeting others from around the world..)
