Prices are absurd. The good was great but does not justify the pricing. Not to mention the services was atrocious. We were served water once; never checked on for water again. Ordered drinks, not once were asked if we wanted another and no time in between quick exchanges to ask. Had to flag the server down. My husband asked for an extra plate and it was brought was he was already almost done with his food. Our friend got the sampler option and was brought his app with our entrees and by the time everything else got there we were done eating. Our table wasn’t cleaned till after we complained. The manager seemed clueless and their poor attempt at a resolution was to give us champagne which we kindly declined. Juan Luis (i think was his name) was super kind, came apologized and mended the situation. Everyone else was pretty clueless. Sad experience considering how much it costs to stay at Banyan Tree. Not an experience you’d expect here.

Olive Garden quality with Carbonne prices. I am happy to pay resort prices but this was outrageous. $75 for pasta carbonara, $60 for red sauce rigatoni, $45 for a negroni. And the pasta is definitely from a box and not made fresh. Prices have more than doubled since we were here two years ago and the food was worse. Absolutely won’t return.

Service was distracted and very delayed. For any requests we had to keep reminding our server, but other than that it was good food and ambiance.
