Banyan Tree Sanctuary Guest House

Perfection in every way. Exactly what we were looking for. Views outstanding, hospitality unmatched. Combination of mental and physical relaxation, what more can you ask for. Hidden off the beaten track but easily accessible. Quiet and natural sounds only. ahhhhh yes.

This is an extraordinary place, beautifully nestled at the top of a narrow tree-lined road, designed to blend into the landscape. It's high, and the view of the sea is grand. Well appointed, with a salt-water pool and very nice communal areas. We stayed only one night, a stopover between Kona airport and the drive to Hilo. We left thinking we would like to stay again, perhaps stay two nights. Lovely hosts.

My stay at Ray's Bayan Tree Resort was an enchanting escape into nature's embrace. The serene ambiance, melodious bird songs, and breathtaking natural beauty created a magical setting. Here's why it was an unforgettable experience: 1. **Pool and Spa Delight**: The resort's pool and hot tub offered heavenly relaxation with zen views. I cherished every moment soaking in the warm water, surrounded by tranquil beauty. 2. **Nature's Symphony**: The melodious birdsong throughout the day was like a soothing soundtrack, adding to the peaceful atmosphere and connection with nature. 3. **Scenic Natural Beauty**: The resort's surroundings, from lush greenery to majestic trees, provided a picturesque backdrop, perfect for nature enthusiasts. 4. **Relaxing Atmosphere**: Ray's Bayan Tree Resort exuded a calming vibe, allowing me to unwind fully and escape the usual hustle and bustle. 5. **Exceptional Host Communication**: The host's attentive and accommodating communication ensured a seamless and enjoyable stay, adding to the overall experience. In summary, Ray's Bayan Tree Resort offers a magical retreat for those seeking relaxation and natural beauty. I can't wait to return to this paradise and experience its charm once again!

This is a very unique property close to the airport. Communication was great.

Peaceful, clean, rejuvenating!!!

This place is so quiet and peaceful. The birds songs are beautiful. Everyone is so nice.

All round fantastic. Great gardens, refreshing salt water pool, relaxing salt water hot tub, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. Generally nice enough we were happy to pass many hours at the lodge rather than exploring further afield on the Island (though we did that too).

Beautiful, tranquil spot. I was very busy with tourist things during my stay & didn’t get to enjoy the hot tub & pool. Next time! I would definitely recommend this for those who aren’t interested in the hustle-bustle scene.

I was initially concerned w/lack of air conditioning and then noticed the Banyan Tree Sanctuary is at a higher elevation with beautiful weather and breezes year round. Funky, older furniture but comfortable bed, clean and very spacious room. The view of the coast is fantastic and they have their own nature trail around the property where you discover a hidden tree house and other hidden gems.
