Review of Banyan Tree Ungasan

This small luxury resort provided a sense of space...

This small luxury resort provided a sense of space, from the lobby to the dining venues and through to the individual villas. We were impressed by the overall spaciousness of our pool villa especially the oversized bathroom. It was akin to staying in one of our own homes. We also enjoyed plenty of personal space as we moved around the resort.

The general quietness of the resort and the landscaping of flowering trees offered a sense of calm, serenity and beauty. You can't miss the banyan trees planted in eye-catching spots around the hotel. The same atmosphere continues into the shared infinity pool area where we lounged on day beds and gazed upon the Indian Ocean. Special thanks to pool attendants Nami and Kadek for helping us with photos, drinks and towels daily.

We appreciated the sense of privacy offered by the location and villa design. Perched on the edge of a cliff surrounded by greenery makes the resort less accessible to public. The villa was designed as a self-contained space to prevent prying eyes from above and sides while we continued to enjoy views of landscaped gardens and the ocean from our private infinity pool. The staff also respected our need for privacy in their interactions.

It wasn't difficult to understand why Banyan Tree Ungasan was popular with couples and honeymooners.
