We just got back from our stay at the resort. The pictures on the website are a bit misleading because when you arrive, you realise there is no beach! While the scenery beautiful, the bungalows were average and clean, and air conditioned. However, the price for a room, the horrible food, and service made the experience terrible and not worth...

After reading several reviews about this property, we were pleasantly surprised. The accommodations, food, ambiance, and friendly and helpful staff made our stay unforgettable. A free, secure parking area is provided, and transportation to the island is readily available.

This is the most beautiful spot. Waves at your door, snorkeling during low tide, nice room, very quiet and clean. The grounds are absolutely beautiful as well- the only problem the staff. The groundskeeper was charming. However, the waitstaff and reception- not good at all. And they made you feel like it was a chore to actually serve you. Now,... More

The hotel is on the quite side of the Island so it is peaceful and relaxing. The food is very good, although they take a long time to prepare it. If you want to have some fun, you can walk to the other side of the island. The beach at the hotel is nicer than the rest because it is... More

My wife and I and another couple spent two nights at Bananas. We had a wonderful time. We had a special rate through a promotion they were running. Our rate included breakfast. We were there from a Wednesday through Friday. Living in Panama for over 4 years now we only do our travel during the week. We never go over... More

Location away from crowds, with nice view. Went with our 2yr old. We asked for baby bed, which was provided. There is no beach at all, and cannot really swim in sea bc of corals. Pool a bit small and a bit murky. Restaurant was over challenged with amount of people, food (lunch) was not very good, came slow (and... More

The trip to get to this resort is an adventure. Had an outstanding time at Bananas. The manager, staff, and chef are customer service friendly and went out of their way to meet to please our group. The food was really delicious, which was surprising considering how remote this place is. I highly recommend this resort. The only negative is... More

Just visited after not coming for two years- Many improvements in the staff service, well maintained buildings and grounds...I love Bananas for the close-to-nature experience- the whole place has amazing sea views, the rooms are up against the rainforest. You are totally away from it all . I just want to spend the whole day in the hammock on the... More
