Our date began as a pleasant afternoon outing, yet it concluded with an unforgettable surprise. For the very first time, my husband took me to the Banyan Tree, where we enjoyed afternoon tea at Tocha, the tranquil lobby lounge. The food was superb, featuring vibrant flavours and wonderful Japanese authenticity, a true reflection of the Japanese Pastry Chef’s exceptional skill. Then, as we awaited the bill, a beautiful surprise unfolded: my husband chose that moment to re-enact his proposal, gifting me a magical memory of seventeen years ago and allowing us to re-experience it anew. The service team deserves immense credit for their perfect orchestration of this sudden and emotional surprise, planned in secret with my husband. Thank you, Omer, Suhan, the entire service personnel, and Chef Aby, for all of your hard work alongside my husband, ensuring this moment became truly magical once more. The setting and the venue could not have been more perfect, and it is something I shall cherish for a very long time to come. Big thank you, all, and Banyan Tree! Read less

The hotel itself is lovely , one of the bonuses is it’s near JBR but on its own corniche called Bluewaters which is really easy to get on and off with very little trouble.

The hotel itself is lovely , one of the bonuses is it’s near JBR but on its own corniche called Bluewaters which is really easy to get on and off with very little trouble. Just for reference it’s next door to the big wheel . Rooms are a good size with a decent balcony you can sit out on. The grounds to the hotel and the beach area is great, you can use the facilities of the Delano which is a 5 minute walk through nice gardens. On the whole, yes, I would go back but with a minor change , if it was a fair bit cheaper I would NOT take the half board package, I wouldn’t even take the breakfast if it was financially better. There is no buffet, full stop, for anything, some might like that but I quite like the different daily themes for variety and sampling different continents foods . Instead you get a choice from a very limited half board menu which didn’t change for the 11 days we were there. It became really boring and if you decide to venture outside the particularly boring hb menu , I hope you have deep pockets ! My advice, go room only . If you walk for 3 minutes there is a selection of about 40 + restaurants and bars where you can get anything from McDonalds to Spanish tapas. Even for breakfast , just cross the road as you leave hotel and there’s a restaurant that specialises in breakfasts ! Apart from the food, the hotel is really nice. Read less
