Comfortable Accommodations

I stayed in a lovely beachfront two-story villa equipped with a great patio and hammocks. The room was clean and comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a day of diving. The amenities included air conditioning and a refrigerator, and I appreciated the convenience of having a microwave and coffee maker.

Really good Dive Shop

The dive shop at Bananarama was excellent. They offered various PADI courses, and the staff ensured safety and enjoyment during our dives. With small group sizes, every dive was personalized, and I was amazed by the vibrant marine life I encountered.

8.8/10

I had a fantastic time during my stay! The staff truly made my experience special with their fun and accommodating nature. The accommodations were modest but comfortable, providing a great atmosphere. However, I was a bit disappointed with the resort's decision to sell beach chairs next to guest accommodations, which affected privacy a bit.

My stay at this resort was memorable due to the friendly atmosphere and cozy accommodations. The location was stunning, right on the beach, which was a definite plus. However, the number of guests could be overwhelming when cruise ships arrived, leading to crowded spaces. While the food options were decent, I felt the dining experience could benefit from a bit more variety.

Bananarama offers a unique and relaxed vacation atmosphere right by the beach, perfect for divers and beach lovers alike. The staff creates a welcoming family vibe and the dive shop is top-notch with high-quality equipment. However, be cautious about the presence of cats on the property and check the suggested tip amounts; they can be a bit misleading. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for both diving and enjoying the beach life.

Bananarama is a solid beach resort with a great vibe, especially for American guests. The staff is truly the highlight, treating us like family and providing excellent service. The beach location is quite special, although beach vendors can be a nuisance at times. The dining options are tasty but could benefit from some variety, and while the facilities are enjoyable, they could be improved further.

My stay at Bananarama was overall enjoyable with a few pros and cons. The location right on the beach is hard to beat, and the staff were warm and welcoming, making my time relaxing. However, the dining experience could be improved, particularly regarding prices and the road to the hotel, which was quite rough. The room was clean and comfortable, making it a suitable home base for my vacation.
