Hotels in Surat Thani Province

Banyan Tree is still Banyan Tree; the service is absolutely top-notch, making you feel relaxed and welcomed. Everywhere you go on the resort grounds, the staff clearly understands your needs and intentions. The exclusive Lamai Bay beach, belonging to the hotel, is a place you'll never tire of visiting, even daily!

The property is very clean and well-maintained, strategically located for easy access to the island's various beaches. The breakfast is excellent, abundant, and varied. Among the aspects that could be improved are the sea in front of the hotel, which isn't the best on the island (though this obviously isn't the property's fault), and some of the sun lounger cushions are stained or torn. This is a small detail that, given the hotel's overall standard, seems out of place and should be addressed. The real highlight is the Prego restaurant: undoubtedly an excellent discovery that alone makes a stay at Amari worthwhile. It offers high-level cuisine with dishes meticulously prepared, excellent cocktails, and a gastronomic proposal that combines quality and creativity. You can feel the passion of Chef Daniele, who is attentive to guests and capable of creating original and unexpected pairings. All of this is set in a well-kept and elegant location, with attentive and professional service. Overall, a very positive experience at Amari that I highly recommend.

The staff didn't always speak English well, which often made ordering difficult. However, they were super friendly and attentive. The location is great with a beautiful view.
