What a gorgeous gem in such a peaceful environment!! We were thrilled with our stay at The Banks. The staff was so warm and welcoming; excellent service! Everything was so beautiful! We loved our 3-bedroom villa....it was so large and clean. Lovely decor and having our own pool was wonderful! (Something to be award of.. one of the bedrooms has a separate outdoor entrance. It worked out okay for us since our kids are older, but this could be a problem for young families). The only negative in the villa was the furniture. The beds, pillows, couch and chairs were all very firm and uncomfortable. The ambiance at the onsite restaurant was lovely. We loved our breakfasts and desserts, but the dinner left us a little disappointed. I can tell they are trying very hard with their unique menu, but the items we tried just weren't as flavorful as we hoped. We ended up eating our other two dinners at Sleeping Giant which we really enjoyed. Overall I would highly recommend this gorgeous resort.
