Wonderful place, with 2 less than perfect things. First and most importantly, the swimming pool had no steps so my mother, who loves spending time in the pool, was unable to enjoy it. The availability of a pool was one reason I selected Melina, so this was a huge disappointment. Second, the beds were very hard.
The food was delicious - we are vegetarians and the cook did an outstanding job.

The property was very pretty. It offers a tranquil atmosphere and great service. Food was top notch. The breakfast was one of the best I have seen at a resort. We went on the private boat tour and it was a highlight of our trip. I have stayed at Las Ventanas in Cabo and the Rosewood in Mayakoba and can say that I prefer the Banyan tree. Great for adults or families. I had a partial view room and it was great. I would recommend this property to travelers seeking a luxury experience and...

The experience at this hotel was unbelievable. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. We had a beach pool villa and I can't even express how beautiful it was. When we arrived the tub in the restroom was prepared with flower petals floating in the water. The views from this hotel were gorgeous! and it was so nice to have the beach just for the hotels is the area. Not crowded at all. We took a couple of trips to see other islands nearby and it was great!

The Ban Sainai was like staying on a tropical island. It is very spread out, but the staff were always ready to drive you from your room to the pool or reception area. The breakfasts were very good as were the meals at the pool. The pool was absolutely gorgeous and we spent plenty of time there. The resort has a regular shuttle schedule to take you to the beach. This was an awesome experience to stay at the Ban Sainai.

I am SO happy that I booked with this place! It was a last minute booking for a great deal, and it was just as good as it was advertised to be. Plus they have a cute little furry mascot!! Great pool, attentive & helpful staff, nice extras like coffee machine and hot/cold filtered water on our floor. 10/10 would return here!

OMG! What is not to like?! This property was beyond stunning!! Surrounded by lush beauty. Safe area to walk around for an early morning coffee and just sit with the locals. Walking distance to beach and food and shops.
The hotel itself was beautiful. Pool a lovely welcome after a day in the heat. Staff were beyond friendly and helpful and they remember you daily. Greeted with a juice upon arrival. Food was delicious. Everything was perfect and the best amenities during our trip to...

We loved the hospitality! My husband actually got sick in the middle of the trip and had to go to the hospital. They were very accommodating, including picking me up at strange hours from the hospital, giving us extra food and water when we were resting, and making sure our room was cleaned in plenty or time.

Purana is a wonderful place to stay for a private holiday. Our transportation was very complex. We were arriving after the ferry to the island stopped running. They arranged private transportation for us. A taxi was waiting for us at the airport and took us to the boat. Seamless! When we arrived they acted like they were waiting just for us. They sat us down with the best welcome drink and were so incredibly friendly. Our villa was #8 which is up a steep hill, but they always took us by...

We had a FANTASTIC time at Rayavadee! Throughout our travels in Thailand, we stayed at all 5 star hotels and resorts, but this was by far our favorite. When you arrive, it's as if you are arriving at Fantasy Island. We were mainly going to relax, and our customer representative Julian made sure that everything was as we wanted it. Our villa was perfect in everyway. The food at all the restaurants was wonderful. The spa was superb. The pool was great. There are three beaches (two for swimming),...
