The smell ruins a perfect location and room

Cons: Be more aggressive with seagrass removal to control the smell to enjoy all the features of the hotel .
The seagrass on the shore was so thick and intense across the island but right in front of the hotel it was piled for several days and the smell penetrated everything. Although the view was perfect from our room there was no way to listen to the waves or open the doors because of the intense smell, It seemed to be more cleaning efforts just next door and own the beach. The staff are very friendly and engaging, Lupe is the best and such a hardworker and so very friendly. The massage was the best I have had ever had (and I had 3 on just this trip). The plants and grounds are beautiful and the pools are welcoming and offer the perfect shade and sun options any time of the day. The restaurant is one of the best....The island has changed tremendously is the past 10 years and Banana Beach remains a great location and good value, we just wish we could enjoy our veranda.

Great Place will be back in July

Its a very simple set up, yet meet all the needs and more... able to stay solely at the hotel and dine in with amazing food or they can take care of any reservations from dinner to Mayan Ruin flight and tour. This place is moped, swept and sanitized in and out all day long with all friendly staff!!! We are considering a permeant purchase of one of there owner-owned rooms with full kitchens.

Wonderful beach. Very relaxing.

Pros: It was so close to the beach
Cons: Some color on the walls would do wonders and a chair in the room would be great. The only chairs were aluminum, cold, bent, and on the patio
If you like laying on the beach, the location of this hotel is wonderful. No matter which room you are in, the beach is literally steps away with white sand and such beautiful colors of blue water. The rooms were not that impressive but we only needed the room for sleeping and showering, so they were fine for one week. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It's a little far from town so you might need to rent a golf cart. There is a restaurant and bar at the hotel, and there are several other places close enough to eat if you don't mind a 15 or 20 minute walk, which is actually good for you, or you can call a taxi. The only really negative thing was that we ordered several drinks at the beach and at the end of the day were charged for an extra shot of alcohol that we were told was put in each drink. We didn't ask for the extra shot and don't really know if it was put in the drinks or not. If we had been asked beforehand, we would have ordered the extra shot, but doing it without asking us was not a good thing to do. If we go back, we will ask exactly how much the cost of each drink is before ordering.

Nice hotel conveniently located in San Pedro

Pros: The entire staff was very helpful. From making last minute changes to my reservation at the front desk to the friendly servers and bartenders
Cons: Only suggestion is maybe a fresh coat of paint here and there
Location: Located on the beach about a half mile from Crazy Canucks on one end and half mile from Cozy Coconuts on the other end, great spot to see San Pedro
First time ever to Belize and couldn't be happier with the place I chose to stay

Great hotel on the beach, exceptional staff.

Pros: Everything but especially the staff.
Cons: Plumbing fixtures could be updated, sliding glass door was hard to open, bathroom door was difficult to close & noisy. Need a nightlight in the bath
Location: Banana Beach is far enough from town to be quiet and close enough for a quick golf cart ride to nice beach bars and activities.
All staff were very accommodating. Our experiences at check-in, restaurant, room cleaning, beach bar, security, check-out were above our expectations. Beds were comfortable, shower was adequate with hot water and good pressure. Hotel is in a great location with a great beach and two swimming pools.Miguel in the restaurant was outstanding, Lupe carrying our bags, Idir & Otmar were fun bartenders & Ruby & Tristen were always there to set up golf carts or activities. The free continental breakfast from 6 to 11 was enormous with ham & eggs, fruit, homemade toast & coffee & juice.I can't think of a better place to stay. Also there is a very comfortable sports bar area off the restaurant & bar with comfy couches to watch your favorite team. Watching the NFL playoffs there was the best.

Quaint. Not the fanciest place but it'll do...

Pros: Fabulous water pressure and temperature. Free breakfast.
Cons: Decor and updated bedding; perhaps update the locks on doors...this place still uses real keys.
Location: Located south of town, but a very cheap cab ride to the downtown district.
It is a 3star place...no frills, no luxe. But it did the job...we slept, showered, enjoyed our free breakfast. The bedding and decor is outdated, but suitable. One queen bed and twin bed in the bedroom in the style we booked, along with a couch, table, kitchen in the "living area." One very important thing: the water pressure in the showers has GREAT PRESSURE AND can be adjusted for temperature. This was surprising. Most of the Caribbean countries tend to have showers with extremely low water pressure or it is either too cold or scalding hot...no complaints! So they get 5 stars there. The doors look like they aren't secure, so we were a little worried that anyone could bust them open, but no one did...even if they had, there's a safe for valuables. This location doesn't really have much of a beach for swimming, but there is a beach for chilling. It is located south of the main areas of town, but only a 5USD cab ride away. I thought it was well worth the value for a short, one-night stay. I would stay here again.

A delightful place to stay!

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, friendly helpful staff, tour center on-site, spa services on-site
Cons: needs some updating
We had such a great time and enjoyed our stay at "Bananas" very much! There is nothing better than Marlon serving Belikins and making rum punch and margaritas at the "Wind Tunnel Bar" happy hour! (If you go, you'll know why I call it that.) The staff was great, always cheerful, and very responsive to our requests. The food at El Divino was very good, if a little pricey. Breakfast is included with 6-7 different selections and was perfect for us... the fresh fruit was wonderful! The staff at Monkey Business Tours were so accommodating and willing to do whatever they could to make our trip everything we imagined it would be. The grounds are lovely, the beach area is beautiful (and the fact they have a seawall is a "pro" as it keeps the beach clean of most of the sea grass that washes up on the other beaches nearby), and the fact that the tour boats pick you up right from dock at the beach is so convenient. The only negatives, if there were any, were that the decking by one of the pools could use replacing, and the tiles in the bath tub area in our room could stand re-grouting. Banana Beach is a small resort, very intimate, and it's easy to get to know the staff and other guests... you're not just another face. All in all, we had a super vacation and would definitely stay at Bananas again!
