Banyan Tree is quite isolated = there is very little to walk to in the immediate area. Yes you can walk to a couple of mini markets, a few street stalls (fruit etc) and maybe a local bar/café or two but it's a very hilly area and you're probably talking at least half an hour to get anywhere and then possibly another 20 minutes or so to the next "stop" - and if it's really hot it will take longer! You really need a hire car or taxi to go out to "proper" shops and restaurants - these local places are very small and possibly not what you'd want. It can be a pleasant walk early in the morning when it's a little cooler and if you like walking though, but definitely don't rely on outside "catering"! When we stayed at BT we had 3 nights relaxing there hardly venturing out, and then a week up at Beau Vallon Bay area where there is lots to walk to and therefore more variety.

We had 406. Absolutely stunning. Personally, I do think the views from that side of the site are better. 408, although higher, was less well positioned in my opinion.

The Banyan is pricey - yes. It’s also very good (the Thai restaurant anyway, didn’t have dinner in any of the others). £150-200 for 2 people, a drink each, 2-3 starters, 2-3 mains. It’s a lovely secluded bay & on its own, which you’ll find is more exclusive & tranquil than isolated. However, car hire is cheap & the roads are easy to drive. Nothing is too far away, albeit that I didn’t drive at night so can’t comment on street lights & some roads might be dark and windey? The South is generally less built up than the north, so not exactly spoilt for choice on restaurants (tho we found one good one in particular - see review...). For convenience/relaxation I’d eat in the hotel. It’s good I’d also do a room BBQ one night. You can cook it yourself & there is more than enough. I would however get your drinks (beer & spirits) from any local supermarket. 25-30% of hotel prices (suspect this is the same elsewhere - island hotel prices?). I can’t come t on your other hotel, but I’d go back to the Banyan in a heartbeat. Truly special hotel.
