The restaurant, bar and housekeeping staff is hard working and very friendly. The front desk staff is not friendly at all. The dive shop was amazing and their best feature by far. There is no comfortable seating in the room or patio and the bed was literally as hard as a brick. I tried pressing my finger into the mattress and there was no give at all. The resort sells what is already limited beach chairs to cruise passengers and allows people to reserve the remaining few all day even if they’re nowhere near the beach area for hours. Food was less than mediocre and overpriced for what you get. Made the mistake of booking a day tour with the resort. It started off with them telling we had to pay by cash or pay 50 dollars in fees if paying by card. Resort employee hands us over to his mother who proceeds to tell us all about her woes for a few hours, takes us to a ‘local’ place for lunch instead of the restaurant we were supposed to go to. She tells us partway through lunch ‘thanks for buying us lunch’ meaning her and the boyfriend she picked up part way through the tour. We’re across the island and alone with her and her boyfriend so we pay the large tab (again in cash) without arguing. The iguana farm was closed on Sundays which is a stop we were supposed to make so instead they took us to another animal place when we started mentioning a partial refund from the resort. All in all it was a very odd and expensive encounter way beyond the cost of the day trip. Don’t stay here.

We stayed at Bananarama for our first visit to Roatan and would definitely go back without hesitation. They picked us up from the airport and stopped at the local market so we could grab a few groceries for our condo. Staff was amazing…friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Our condo was clean and stocked, situated close to the beach of beautiful West Bay. The restaurants on site were very good and we noticed many others from other areas and resorts coming to eat there as well. Breakfast is included, which was convenient as well. Dive shop and snorkeling gear on site with easy access to other excursions also. We were so well taken care of and can’t wait to return!

We recently stayed at Bananarama Hotel, a quaint property with only 23 rooms. We were assigned a stand-alone unit, which included a bed, a fridge, and a bathroom; however, we found it lacking in many aspects. The room had no chest of drawers or closet for hanging clothes, except for two shelves with hangers awkwardly placed on the upper shelf. As divers, we understand and appreciate rustic accommodations, but this was quite over the top. Although, we should note, the Dive Master's were excellent at their jobs, but we did find the dive sites somewhat lacking. The sink in our room was cracked, although it still held water, and the shower had been recaulked numerous times, indicating some maintenance issues. Additionally, the towel bars showed signs of corrosion, which is often expected in a resort close to the ocean. The walls were painted in an odd teal color, further adding to the lackluster ambiance. Surprisingly, the best aspect of the room was the ceiling fan, which seemed out of place amidst everything else. One major inconvenience we faced was the hanging shelf attached to the shower head, which had no back and constantly items would fall to the floor. On a positive note, the room did come with a complimentary breakfast; however, we were disappointed to find that the same four meal options were served every day without any variety. The onsite restaurant had daily specials, and we decided to try most of them. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was hit or miss.
