If you're reading this review - stop, book your stay at Kerem Villas, and then come back to finish reading this review. It's that good. Trust me. We (family of 5) stayed at Kerem Villas for 7 days and had the time of our lives. The property is absolutely stunning with modern decor, beautiful views, an amazing amount of space and a fantastic pool. We felt as if we were living in our dream home for a week and frankly it's been difficult to come back to our actual home. Everything from the couches to the beds and pillows to the towels made it feel like a truly luxury experience. - Staff and service: The staff were the most pleasant and helpful people we've encountered on vacation. Jean, the manager, was available day and night for any questions or help that we needed, always had a smile on her face and paid attention to small details to help make our trip feel magical. Pla, our breakfast chef and housekeeper, was sweet, caring, thorough and always made sure to ask what our preferences were and adopted to them. Panu, our driver, was fun, punctual, helpful and available. There's absolutely no need to rent a car on the Island as Panu was more affordable, efficient and fun. And Miriam, one of the property owners, made sure to work with us from pre-booking in order to help us plan our trip to perfection. - Location: The location is nearby cultural cornerstones like the Big Budda and Fisherman's village, but felt secluded enough to make it truly feel like a getaway. The villas are located in part of a private residence facility with full time security so there's a true sense of calm which is important in a villa setting in a foreign country. We planned our trip based around chilling at the villa for large chunks of every day, while planning few hour day trips each day, and it exceeded our expectations. - Food: Breakfast is included and Pla made sure to prepare delicious breakfast that was both adult and kid friendly every morning. There's a full kitchen and nearby markets to stock the fridge and prepare food for lunch or dinner, and we opted to order in dinner most nights. There's also an option to have the staff prepare additional meals but we didn't go that route. We had a truly magical family vacation and I attribute that completely to Kerem Villas. I cannot recommend staying there any more. Like I said at the top, book now and thank me later.

Wow. Ok, where to start? I read a LOT of TripAdvisor reviews when planning a trip, and understand that reviews are often a result of the expectations one sets for themselves when anticipating a trip/vacation. That said, while most of the reviews of this property are 5-Star, after researching the property, my own expectations were simply premium accommodations, a quiet retreat-like atmosphere, and a good restaurant. What my wife and I experienced was a full-on 5 (6 if the scale were higher) star resort in every sense. If you are looking for a peaceful, discrete and rejuvenating retreat complete with outstanding and prompt personalized service all in a lush natural tropical setting with supreme ocean views, then look no further, Banyan Tree Samui is it. I could write at length about our experience here, but I know you have a lot of reviews to read if you're like me. So here are most of the Highlights: 1. Fabulous accommodations - super comfortable bed/linens; separate bedroom/living/bath areas all with floor to ceiling windows offering spectacular sea views (IF you get the best villas). Walk-in shower w/large rectangular rain showerhead was brilliant. Pool was sparkling clean and allowed for ultimate cooling/relaxation in the warm temps all while taking in the incredible views. Additional outdoor seating area(s) for enjoying the outside. 2. Staff - Wonderful; THE epitome of hospitable. Super friendly, and always eager to immediately assist with even the smallest of requests. Dada (villa host), Golf, Lek (massage therapist), Jane, all serving staff and buggy drivers, even landscapers we passed throughout the grounds - ALL incredibly pleasant and eager to please. 3. Dining - Breakfast spread (hate to call it a buffet because that makes it sound tacky) was incredible. Multiple hot and cold options, western and Asian dishes, full baked goods/pastries selection, fresh fruits, cold cuts, fresh juices, multiple coffee options. Dinner at Saffron was outstanding. A few reviews have mentioned Saffron as being just average, but the food (including portion size), flavors, and as aforementioned, the servers were all terrific. Yes, it's more expensive than getting dinner at a local Thai joint in town (an obvious point made in another review), but you're at a 5-star resort with top-notch service and very special ambiance being pampered as a resort guest. But to give you an idea of ”expensive” (a very relative term): two appetizers, two soups, two entrees, and two desserts, plus non-alcoholic beverages - $105.00 US dollars. Any fine dining, high-end restaurant in a big city in the USA will cost you triple that. 4. The Spa should not be missed. Incredible massage treatments/experiences provided by very experienced and professional therapists all done in traditional Thai fashion. Wonderful. 5. Incidentals: The resort is mostly non-walkable meaning that you are either in your villa (but that's why you come here; your villa is an oasis) or at one of the
