Bananarama: La mejor ubicación en West Bay
Pros:

Pensaron en todo para que la experiencia fuera agradable. La habitación bien equipada, la facilidad de llegada, acceso y permanencia con atenciones que no se piden, sino que son parte del servicio.

Cons:

La ducha es un poco pequeña, y las opciones de alimentación son limitadas y estilo bar (wings, pizza, cheeseburger, etc).

I stay here every year and never want to leave. Staff is always exceptional. I can’t wait for my next visit!
Pros:

Exceptional as always.

Cons:

I only dislike that everything closes early, but that’s not the property’s fault. I wanted to continue enjoying myself longer.

Pros:

Lugar céntrico y frente a la playa

Cons:

Esta muy deteriorado, el primer día se taqueo la ducha y ni siquiera la habíamos usado, lo bueno fue que la respuesta del personal fue rápida.

Pros:

The king room facing the ocean was really nice. It had a great view, comfy beds, nice linens and a huge shower. It was on top of the ice cream shop, but we weren't sharing a wall with any hotel guests so it felt very private. The place is right on the best beach on the island, and our room was about 5 steps to it! The fire show and crab race on Sunday night was one of the highlights of the trip according to our 4 year old. While they dont have a pool, their sister hotel Caribe Tesoro has an amazing pool +cave+swim up bar + water slide that bananarama guests can use for free .

Cons:

The restaurant staff were different people every day and the bartenders were not friendly.

A good budget friendly place to stay.
Pros:

Location to the beach was excellent, just a few feet to beautiful water. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Food & drinks right outside your door.

Cons:

Can’t really say there was anything I did not like. I enjoyed my stay at Bananarama but the rooms are very minimalistic, you spend your day on the beach so it’s ok. Also that’s why I picked it, it was cheaper. Smallest shower I have ever been in tho, don’t drop the soap🙃

Agradable
Cons:

Lo que no me gustó fue la irresponsabilidad que demostró el piloto que nos iba a transportar del hotel al ferry, debía estar a las 5am. por nosotros, no llegó, cuando se le llamó indicó que se quedó dormido, otra persona no llevó, ya ibamos tarde un poco nerviosos por no llegar a tiempo

Our go-to beach spot!
Pros:

We keep coming back to Bananarama Dive & Beach Resort—it’s just that good.

Not fancy, but that’s the charm. Affordable! Super laid-back, beautiful beach, unforgettable sunsets, crystal-clear water, and snorkeling right out front. Great vibe, good food, great drinks, friendly staff that always makes us feel like family, and always a fun time!

Simple, relaxed, and awesome every time. Can’t wait to be back on the beach!🌴
