Banaba Villa (Deluxe Room)
We booked a Banaba Deluxe Room at their new Banaba Villa (See rates and availability). Our spacious Banaba Deluxe Guestroom is the latest addition to The Farm’s luxurious selection of suites and villas. It is highlighted with a comfy king size bed coupled with clean white sheets, soft pluffy pillows, and plush comforter. It has wide headboard and two bedside tables that perfectly complement the huge bed.
The room is lovely, classy, and well-equipped with all the essential amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Other room amenities include an en suite toilet and bath, airconditioning unit, ceiling fan, a sitting area, cabinets, 49″ Smart television, work area, complimentary high-speed internet access, telephone, safety deposit box, luggage rack, and a mini bar with mini ref, complimentary drinking water, and a tea making equipment.
The toilet and bath is equally lovely and spacious. It has a huge mirror, a his and her sink, clothes and towel hanging rack, a toilet with bidet spray, and bath area with hot & cold rainshower feature. It also comes with eco-friendly toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, and dental care kits. It's clean; everything were organized, well-kept, and really smells fresh. I couldn't ask for more!
What I loved most about our room is the huge sliding window that leads to the balcony with a sitting area and amazing views of the trees and lush surroundings. This is were we spent most of our time just hanging around, lounging at the chairs, feeling the cool breeze of the air while sipping a cup of tea and enjoying the stunning views of the sorroundings.
