Breakfast at DoublePool Villas by Banyan Tree Phuket
Breakfast at Tre restaurant is generally praised for exceptional food quality and a calm, exclusive atmosphere, though recent service inconsistency and seating management issues have emerged in 2023-2024 reviews.
Recent reviews (2024-2025) emphasize the exceptional quality and peaceful ambiance of Tre restaurant, while 2023 reviews highlighted operational inconsistencies (service variability and seating management). The most recent review (2025-04-26) is purely positive, but the pattern suggests service standards may have improved or become more variable between stays.
What the reviews tell us
Exceptional food quality and exclusive adult-focused ambiance at Tre restaurant, with no children present
Peaceful, quiet breakfast setting that is markedly calmer than main hotel restaurants
Service inconsistency noted between first and second breakfast visit, with second day described as 'a tragedy'
Seating management issue: guests placed in direct sunshine despite availability of shaded tables
General buffet offering meets expectations with basic positive feedback from earlier reviews
Double Pool Villa guests benefit from exclusive access to Tre restaurant for breakfast, which reviewers consistently describe as a peaceful and refined setting free from the bustle of main hotel restaurants. Food quality is reported as exceptional by recent reviewers, and the exclusive, adult-focused ambiance—notably lacking children—is a significant draw. However, service reliability appears variable: while most experiences are positive, one 2023 reviewer reported inconsistent service across consecutive mornings, and seating management has occasionally fallen short, with guests placed in direct sunshine despite shaded tables being available. The calmer setting and better food standards set Tre apart from the main breakfast venues, but operational consistency remains an area of concern.
Service quality varies: exceptional experiences vs. operational lapses
Recent 2024-2025 reviews from UK guests consistently praise the breakfast at Tre as 'exceptional' with excellent ambiance (Claims 502200, 502283). However, a 2023 UK reviewer reported that while the first morning was acceptable, the second morning was 'a tragedy' in terms of service quality (Claim 502299), and the same reviewer noted guests being seated in direct sunshine despite shaded tables being available (Claim 502302). This suggests either that service standards have improved in 2024-2025, or that consistency remains an issue depending on circumstances or individual visits. The discrepancy may also reflect different expectations or specific operational failures during certain periods.
The evidence
Representative quotes from 5 supporting reviewsBreakfast for the double pool villas in the exclusive Tre Restaurant was exceptional and always very quiet
Double Pool villa occupants have sole use of Tre restaurant for breakfast, a much calmer affair than the main breakfast restaurants and didn't see any kids there
the first day was OK even if not great but the 2nd day was a tragedy
We were sat in the sunshine despite our 'table' (the one set for 6 as this is the only 3 bedroom pool villa) being available and in the shade
