this hotel exceeded expectations. Yes it is rustic without being updated, but the price reflects that. What it is is clean, on the beach, centrally located, with a great little bar/restaurant. I kept reading how they were hot water issues but did not notice that. Plenty is hot water for showers. No TV, but good WiFi for Netflix on the tablet. Water taxi is right out front. Great beach with plenty of beach chairs. Convenience stores are close by for snacks and alcohol for the room. The property grounds are kept spotless. We stayed here for a week and loved it.

We loved loved loved the Bananarama. It looked exactly like the photos online. It's location is right in the middle of West Bay Beach. You can walk either direction the entire length of the beach. The staff is the best. Eddie, one of the bartenders greeted us each night with a smile. The rest of the staff is awesome also. Price of the food and drink at the pizza place and Turtle were the best along the beach. If you are looking for a top notch fancy place this is not the place for you . That's the only reason I did 4 stars because it is an older place, very basic, but we felt like we were really living a beach life there and that was exactly what we wanted. It was so nice to walk a few steps for breakfast which is included. The cleaned everyday. Also water taxis are right at our beach. No compamints at all!!

I liked that it has free breakfast. What i didn't like is the staff should be more welcoming to the guests, every morning, afternoon and evening that I saw the employee's i always greeted them and they greeted right back. I didn't get it from your staff. They're very amazing people but they need to go the extra mile.

I love that the beach was in my backyard. I didn't like the water from the kitchen, bathroom and shower it had such a bad smell. Once we told the office they came to replace the filters but it only helped a little. Besides that, I'll definitely stay there again.

Great dive operation. The equipment worked perfectly I dive nitrox and it was available and handled perfectly. The staff is awesome friendly and knowledgeable. They took care of everything all I had to do was dive. This was my 8th trip to Roatan and the 4th time I have dove with Bananarama. We will go back. The room was fine everything worked. Food is very good. Pizza is excellent. The surrounding area has lots of food and drink options.

This hotel is nothing to what you se on website, in the website looks colorful , nice , etc. Is all round down, not well kept, mosquitoes get inside the room, really old towels , no tv . They should advertise this hotel for people who go snorkeling maybe or backpackers, that don’t care for any confort maybe, some do probably, but definitely not for families or two women alone, restaurant people not the most friendly or bartender, they make us feel out of place, I pay for 3 nights and stay only one, the noise of the trees and wind and mosquitoes make it impossible to sleep plus didn’t feel safe I think we were the only ones there after a family left that day. I have to get another hotel , and nobody reimburse for my other two nights. So I don’t recommend this hotel the way is advertised. Location is the only thing they have good.

Outlet in bathroon dead, Took minimum of 4 minutes for "hot" water to reach room, maybe 100F. Fumigated property for bugs at 1030 PM with no notice. Generally took 45 min to get lunch or dinner out of kitchen, regardless of the amount of people. Road into property had no drainage and in terrible condition. Took 3 days for someone to figure out how to reset the safe code. Back charged the fee they paid to Expedia for the booking. Garbage on the beach every morning from the non-guests they allowed to use their site. Gotta say, not the fault of the staff. Just above some of the hostels on the island.

Visited with my husband. It is the definition of rustic charm with a laid back island vibe. The staff were welcoming and accommodating! The dive shop was very well managed and took great care of us. The location is absolutely amazing. We will be back!
