The Banyan is ideally located near the beach and restaurants, etc. The Banyan installed new carpet on the hallway floors while I was there which was very much needed and a big improvement. The pool and hot tub area at the Banyan are very old and worn but I understand they they plan on redoing the entire pool deck on the sixth level next fall/winter. Def overdue.
The unit has a beautiful view of the mountains and Doug was quite responsive to my requests most of the time.
The pictures of the unit on Airbnb must be very old because they do not represent its current condition. The unit is in dire need of a rehab and was not very clean when I got there. There were enough towels and sheets provided although some of the sheets had holes in them. The beds were quite comfortable though.
The units at the Banyan are in many different states of repair given some owners are better at keeping their units updated than others. I have stayed at another unit in the Banyan that was much nicer so the Banyan is a good place to stay depending on the owner.
