Hotels near Great Banyan Tree

"Wonderful Place in amazing nature."

"Heaven on earth. Lily Beach is amazing!"

"Great"

"Water had a horrible, nauseating oder that was beyond the smell of sulfur in the water. Problem did not exist in our other room. But in the other room there was a window but you couldn't open the curtains because of privacy - direct view to and from the kitchen and patio area."

"Amazing place, great water bungalow, staff are fantastic and the reef is incredible "

"top spot. "

"Wonderful experience. The house reef and the small number of villas are the main attractions "

"The only reason I did not give an overall excellent for this property is the food. Breakfast and lunch were excellent but sometimes the dinners were less than great. There was no choice only what was cooked on the night. Also it could be because as a westerner I am used to only the best boneless cuts of meat, but on occasion the meat was inedible due to bones and gristle. A shame because the flavours were very good and the staff were excellent. For future reference a description of the food would be useful. If I was to return to this venue I would probably only eat vegetarian. The island itself was quite small (not a criticism) and easy to walk around, the people were quite friendly. Overall I would say this property fit in the backpackers / divers niche. As I was not looking for the usual Maldives experience this was an advantage for me. The only issue as far as the accommodation was concerned is that my bed linens did not appear to be changed the whole 2 weeks I was there, but I could be mistaken if the sheets were washed then put back on the same day. The private beach at the property was wonderful and very private - I had it all to myself for my whole visit. Didn’t worry me that I had to be covered from neck to knee for religious reasons but would not recommend swimming in your beach cover up. The public beach at the other end of the island (10 / 15 minutes walk) did not look all that well kept so I only went for a look once and then stayed on my private beach."
