A Poetic Retreat Amidst Scenic Mountains and Waters Banyan Tree Yangshuo is beautifully situated along the Li River, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. Although slightly remote (about a 30-minute drive from Yangshuo Xijie), this seclusion fosters a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Villa Experience We spent 5 days and 4 nights in a stunning villa by the Li River. Spacious and elegantly maintained, it featured a private courtyard with breathtaking views. Waking up each morning in this picturesque setting was one of the highlights of our journey. The room included a tea brewing set with local tea leaves, which we thoroughly enjoyed during our tea time. Hotel Amenities and Services The hotel enhances the vacation experience with daily changes of incense and essential oils, promoting deep relaxation. The WeChat butler service was incredibly convenient, providing 24/7 access to seamless requests at our fingertips. The in-room bathtub was a standout feature, complemented by exceptional spa services, including both relaxing and romantic treatments. Fun for Kids Our two boys were enchanted by the free-range peacocks and alpacas on the property, and feeding the animals brought them immense joy. The expansive natural environment and interactions with these charming pets created unforgettable memories for our family. The swimming pool, overlooking the Li River, offered stunning views and was perfect for the kids to enjoy with bubble pool party. Local Activities The hotel can arrange numerous local adventures. We tried rafting along a beautiful scenic route, professional rock climbing with experienced group of coach and photographers, as well as an ATV adventure and a cave excursion—all astonishing experiences. Dining Experience The hotel’s Chinese restaurant offered a rich variety of dishes, skillfully balancing local flavors with other renowned Chinese cuisines, making every meal a delight. Breakfast and afternoon tea were surprisingly good, featuring a wide range of choices and attentive service. Overall Evaluation For families seeking a harmonious blend of tranquility and nature, Banyan Tree Yangshuo is an ideal choice. The stunning scenery of the Li River, exquisite villa facilities, and thoughtful service details (like the daily changing scents) created an experience that exceeded our expectations. While it is a bit distant from the town, this precious solitude among the mountains and waters is a truly rare gift.

We went as a company retreat at a reasonably quieter period for the hotel, which really adds to the experience. Nestled nicely in a stunning location and boasting of excellent amenities and hardware for guests, it is perhaps more suitable for couples and families. The hotel can certainly use a little upgrade with their MICE facilities on the hardware perspective, but makes up for it with great service.

Airport transfer was smooth. Check-in was not expected due to set up and peak hours with guests queing and making inquiries of all sorts. The concierge manager was not helpful, and we almost decided not to join some of the hotel tours. Fortunately, on our 2nd day, we approached one of the junior staff, and he sat down to explain the programs and came up with a well thought out recommendation based on our preferences. Room is clean and spacious with daily snacks. Good place for families with kids to roam the garden feeding ducks, fishes and peacocks. Breakfast restaurant offers standard American/Continental and Asian choices. Facilities include a gym, spa and activities throughout the day to keep all busy.
