We stayed at Bananarama for our first visit to Roatan and would definitely go back without hesitation. They picked us up from the airport and stopped at the local market so we could grab a few groceries for our condo. Staff was amazing…friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Our condo was clean and stocked, situated close to the beach of beautiful West Bay. The restaurants on site were very good and we noticed many others from other areas and resorts coming to eat there as well. Breakfast is included, which was convenient as well. Dive shop and snorkeling gear on site with easy access to other excursions also. We were so well taken care of and can’t wait to return!

We recently stayed at Bananarama Hotel, a quaint property with only 23 rooms. We were assigned a stand-alone unit, which included a bed, a fridge, and a bathroom; however, we found it lacking in many aspects. The room had no chest of drawers or closet for hanging clothes, except for two shelves with hangers awkwardly placed on the upper shelf. As divers, we understand and appreciate rustic accommodations, but this was quite over the top. Although, we should note, the Dive Master's were excellent at their jobs, but we did find the dive sites somewhat lacking. The sink in our room was cracked, although it still held water, and the shower had been recaulked numerous times, indicating some maintenance issues. Additionally, the towel bars showed signs of corrosion, which is often expected in a resort close to the ocean. The walls were painted in an odd teal color, further adding to the lackluster ambiance. Surprisingly, the best aspect of the room was the ceiling fan, which seemed out of place amidst everything else. One major inconvenience we faced was the hanging shelf attached to the shower head, which had no back and constantly items would fall to the floor. On a positive note, the room did come with a complimentary breakfast; however, we were disappointed to find that the same four meal options were served every day without any variety. The onsite restaurant had daily specials, and we decided to try most of them. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was hit or miss.
