Room OK, all the rest was a mess

Room was good. All the rest was under construction, in repair or just ruined. Furthermore there is a "resort fee" of USD 48.- but honestly I don't know what for. Please compare official pictures with the real ones, no more comment is required. Pruce might seem OK, but it is not worth.

GTerrible value for money

We stayed for 2 nights. When I was waiting to check in, the host was on the phone dealing with an upset guest who was attempting to ABORT their reservation a short time after they arrived. I should have read the tea leaves!! Instead I kept an open mind and chalked that down to a fussy guest and checked in. To describe the Banana Bay in one word, it would be lazy. Room: excellent Pool: broken umbrella, broken pergola shades, water was far too hot and full of bugs and generally dirty. Pool was under construction but that doesn’t explain the pool water quality and filth. Pool bar was not open. Construction work being performed was 3rd rate and let’s just say I’d imagine they went with the cheapest quote on that tender Dock bar: not open, bartender had to leave and no back up. Ice machine : broken Breakfast: such a complete joke! Two drunk imbeciles would put together a better spread. No cereal, no fruit, all the cups were individually wrapped for some reason. Read slices were wrapped in pairs??? It would kill your appetite (and maybe that’s the idea). Only thing this place excelled at was charging big for a terrible overall experience. Will never return.

Did not like this at all, it was expensive and ran down. The pictures do not look like the place at all. It’s an okay room to sleep in after a day of fishing but if you’re wanting to feel like you’re on a vacation don’t stay here.

Needs some upkeep.

As returning guests we were very disappointed with the condition of the landscaping and pool area. Pool is in bad shape, tiles missing, cracks and just doesn't feel very clean. Concrete deck in terrible shape. Hot tub still not working since our last stay over a year ago. Bar is closed at the pool and no longer provides pool towels. Staff is nice and bed is comfortable. Hopefully the new property management will bring Banana Bay back to the gorgeous property it once was.

I liked the ocean access, even though it wasn't a huge beach. There is nice areas outside to spend time. The free bicycles were an excellent option in the morning, when other people in our group were still sleeping. Basic hot breakfast
