I do hope that we will get a more positive experience. We don't travel with kids, so perhaps that helps.
I hesitated a lot between the Banyan Tree and new W hotel. Could anyone tell me how these two compare?
I finally opted for the Banyan Tree since it is closer to the Chaweng action.
you are indeed brave
anything Banyan Tree i would have to take a closer look.
although its been ages since i have stayed at a BT - last being Phuket and then against my better judgement , bangkok.....i have avoided them since..
from design - poor , unimaginative and gratuitous , quality of product - workmanship and details , tour groups [
] , average service from what is purportedly a luxury group......
but then again with samui they may want to redeem themselves .
tread with caution if you wantto ensure a perfect holiday
