Wow ! What a hotel ! We have just returned from the most fabulous 8 days at the Banyan Tree Dubai. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by friendly door staff to the moment we checked out, the staff and service at this hotel was exemplary. The Family Suite rooms were spacious and luxurious - with views to die for over the Ain Dubai and the ocean. Breakfasts every day were just amazing with everything you could possibly want and more. Choosing from anything on the buffet or from the made to order menu. All dishes were top notch ! We especially enjoyed trying the local dishes like the syriniki and Arabic breakfast ! The pool was idyllic - plenty of comfy sunbeds, ample cold water and towels all provided by the attentive poolside staff. Especially enjoyed the complimentary watermelon and ice lollies ! We went half board so were also able to enjoy the various restaurants at the Banyan Tree and the sister hotel Delano. Wide range of cuisines including Italian, Mediterranean and Chinese. Our personal favourite was the Michelin selected Chinese restaurant - Demon Duck. The food here was honestly next level, again service from all the staff and the ambience here was just top notch. Would highly recommend the duck and bubble bath dessert ! The hotel gym was fantastic - modern and very spacious with a wide range of cardio machines, weight machines and free weights. As a gym enthusiast it really had everything you need to keep up with your training. As already mentioned all staff were amazing - genuinely kind, interested to talk to us and always happy to help in any way they could. Special mentions must go to the three staff who made our stay extra special - Angel Garcia on front of house as well as Suraj and Sourav from the Alizee restaurant. All of whom really went the extra mile and felt like friends by the end of our stay ! Finally, Banyan is in the Bluewaters area which is nicely bustling and not too busy, plenty to do and lots of restaurants, and only 10-15 mins walk to Jumeirah beach and Dubai Marina. The only downside is that we had to go home ! We will definitely be back … until next time … Read less

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
