We came here for the diving and left with a love for west bay. The property is casual and clean with beach access and a great restaurant. Easy access to water taxi for a 5 dollar ride to west end. No TV in the room, but thats OK for us as we spent time outside enjoying the sunsets. We will be back

The staff was friendly and they allowed us check in early. Not worth the savings due the terrible smell of the water, we had to use their provided drinkable water to brush our teeth, the water out the sink smelled terrible but apparently its an issue in the island. It appears Infinity Bay is the only one that uses filtration system for their guests. Room #17 is way too outdated and shower floor start sinking, probably rotten wood under. My wife was understanding that I was trying to save money but I regret putting her through substandard accommodations over the small price difference. We will try Paradise Beach or Infinity bay next time their price is not too off from Bananarama. Unless you are a backpacker with needs of connecting more with rough third world experiences I highly suggest you stay out of here.

Great spot to explore West Bay. Rooms are basic but clean--just what you need if you plan to spend your time outside. Economical--free breakfast and beach recliners, rooms feel private while you have close access to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff, good food and great diving crew.

Having never been to Roatan before we didn’t quite know what to expect. This property was quant, rustic, and charming. Staff were very helpful and guests were very friendly. They have a lot of repeat guests…that speaks volumes! Would definitely come back! Make sure to catch the fire show on Sunday night…must see!!

'Rama Review

The resort was a nice place to stay at, it has gotten smaller since I was last there. Apparently, part of the property was sold off. The staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the Bar Staff was a bit disappointing, to say the least and I was extremely surprised. I am a Black Honduran who was raised in the States. The Bar staff, who were also Black Hondurans, seem to be very attentive to the white patrons and constantly overlooked me, even when sitting in front of them. I brought this to the attention of the Manager and to my surprise, he said that it wasn't the 1st time he's heard that. I asked him to address it with his staff and he told me that he would.

Loved our stay at the Bananarama. Staff were very friendly. The attached restaurant, The Thirsty Turtle, had some of the best service we received in Roatan, and they have daily food and drink specials. Our room was about a 30-second walk to the beach. Banarama has an area reserved with lounge chairs solely for hotel guests, and they enforce it. The hotel is practially at the center of West Bay Beach also, making it a perfect spot. The rooms could use a little TLC, but that's so insignificant that it wouldn't stop me from staying there again.

Health concerns

We had wanted a place to stay that was a little rustic to match the Island vibe, however the Bananrama lacked basic comforts. The view from unit 21 was beautiful and the room cute and quaint. Unfortunately, the toilet would not flush at night and frequently reguritate sewer fumes. The air conditioner had no temperature adjustment to keep the room a plesant temperature. We would wale up several times a night becausewe were too cold or too hot. The safe in the room wasnt working amd the staff had no idea how to fix it. The housekeeper didnt bring us fresh cups/mugs everyday but rather did a poor job of rinsing them out. Some days our coffee cupa were turned over and presented as clean when in fact is was obvious they weren't even rinsed. Yuck!

We live the people (visitors) that stay at Bananarama and all the staff are so nice and friendly. Some of the rooms could use a little cosmetic work but we are rarely in our room. Food at the Thirsty Turtle is good and the daily specials are great. The location is right in the middle of West Bay Beach- walkable in both directions. Everything you need is close by.

Family trip

In the description it says modest, so don't expect typical resort/hotel fanciness. We stayed in location #20 for reference. 3/4 size refrigerator, which was very helpful for plenty of leftovers and water. Microwave and plates that were handy. Didn't want to use the forks because they didn't look too clean or cleansble, but that was OK we didn't really need them. The room stayed nice and cold, which was refreshing when we came out of the warm/humid outside. The shower was interesting because in order to get it to warm/hot, you have to turn it to the middle point on the right side, not all the way to the "hot" setting like we assumed. Not bad, but took us a neighbor to figure that one out. Staying on the second floor have is our own balcony with some chairs and a hammock, which was nice in the mornings. It's close to the bar/restauarant area, so if you're trying to go to sleep early, probably have some earplugs or something, not an issue for us, we just ended up going to sleep late anyways. Very friendly security staff. Actually encountered a situation with a rude visitor passing through, calling the security guard some names and he handled himself well without retorting back. Joell was our driver from the airport and he was friendly and a great driver. The included breakfast was great every morning and so were the servers. Had a jenga table and connect 4 games next to the tankless which kept the kids busy while we were waiting for the food.

The Expedia photographs gave the impression the property is in great shape. It is not. The rooms (I experienced 3 rooms total as I was moved around) were run down. Friends of mine referred to them as “rustic.” My first room had no functioning lights, other than the bathroom lights, so navigating in the dark was problematic. That room was also closest to the bar area, which played loud music all day. My second room was nicer, but still very old, with plastic tarps on the roof to prevent leaks. My third room had a bathroom that was just gross, and I really didn’t want to touch anything. My visit felt more like a camping trip with a roof, rather than a stay at a hotel. Staff was very pleasant. The beach was nice, but this hotel sells lawn chairs to cruise boat visitors, so from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. the beach area was extraordinarily crowded. Beach vendors constantly bugged me to buy bracelets, food items, massages, hair braiding, etc., which was annoying, and in spite of the security guards on the property. Bar food was good. This was the noisiest hotel on the beach, without a doubt, and I think it tries to cater to the party crowd. If peace and quiet are more your speed, then definitely stay elsewhere. One guy I talked with off sight mentioned my hotel had great drink deals and is a great place to “get ‘f-ed’ up.” The dive shop was the best I’ve ever used, so that was a huge plus. I would book dives with them again, but stay elsewhere. Hotel is cheap for a reason.
