This was our first time to Roatan and after reading tons reviews we settled on Banarama. We were so happy we did we loved everything! We barely wore shoes of any kind all week we were so close to the beach it was amazing. The breakfast was super great, the bar was fun, pizza was incredible and everything we ate from the cook was delicious and perfect. I would describe it as “lodgey”. The room was Small but clean and cleaned everyday. The fridge was super cold and having the fresh water and sink and microwave and coffee pot in our room was Awesome. Walking distance to several little stores and coffee shops and tons on restaurants up and down the beach. The water was crystal clear and we saw tons of starfish in the water right out front of the resort. We will definitely be back!

Pros- Felt safe with security. Daily housekeeping. Dive shop was good. Right on the beach. Cons- Room very dated, mattress lumpy. Old septic system so no toilet paper. Very weak water pressure in shower. Overall for the price i would stay somewhere else.

We had a few things wrong with our room at check in. They also asked for $16 more for a fee they said Expedia didn't pay. Our coffee pot was broken. Our safe was broken. The whole room needs some TLC. Over all our stay was very nice. They could use a place to sit in all the rooms . Ours had no chairs. We had to drag the rocking chairs in every night to sit on other than the bed. They did a fantastic job of cleaning and food was delicious. They did bring me another coffee pot and had to give us a key to the safe to use it. So I would go back , but chose a different room. One with table and chairs

The people were wonderful. I was a bit concerned about safety before going given the travel warnings, but i never felt even a little unsafe. Dive shop folks were great also, laid back diving. Restaurant was friendly, food was good, though selection was a bit limited. Overall I had a very nice stay.

We came here for the diving and left with a love for west bay. The property is casual and clean with beach access and a great restaurant. Easy access to water taxi for a 5 dollar ride to west end. No TV in the room, but thats OK for us as we spent time outside enjoying the sunsets. We will be back

The staff was friendly and they allowed us check in early. Not worth the savings due the terrible smell of the water, we had to use their provided drinkable water to brush our teeth, the water out the sink smelled terrible but apparently its an issue in the island. It appears Infinity Bay is the only one that uses filtration system for their guests. Room #17 is way too outdated and shower floor start sinking, probably rotten wood under. My wife was understanding that I was trying to save money but I regret putting her through substandard accommodations over the small price difference. We will try Paradise Beach or Infinity bay next time their price is not too off from Bananarama. Unless you are a backpacker with needs of connecting more with rough third world experiences I highly suggest you stay out of here.

Great spot to explore West Bay. Rooms are basic but clean--just what you need if you plan to spend your time outside. Economical--free breakfast and beach recliners, rooms feel private while you have close access to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff, good food and great diving crew.

'Rama Review

The resort was a nice place to stay at, it has gotten smaller since I was last there. Apparently, part of the property was sold off. The staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the Bar Staff was a bit disappointing, to say the least and I was extremely surprised. I am a Black Honduran who was raised in the States. The Bar staff, who were also Black Hondurans, seem to be very attentive to the white patrons and constantly overlooked me, even when sitting in front of them. I brought this to the attention of the Manager and to my surprise, he said that it wasn't the 1st time he's heard that. I asked him to address it with his staff and he told me that he would.

Loved our stay at the Bananarama. Staff were very friendly. The attached restaurant, The Thirsty Turtle, had some of the best service we received in Roatan, and they have daily food and drink specials. Our room was about a 30-second walk to the beach. Banarama has an area reserved with lounge chairs solely for hotel guests, and they enforce it. The hotel is practially at the center of West Bay Beach also, making it a perfect spot. The rooms could use a little TLC, but that's so insignificant that it wouldn't stop me from staying there again.
