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.

Bartender horrible
The overall service was good, except for the guys at the Bar. Barman super rude and servers horrible! I had to stand up and ask for the menu several times, talk to the bartender which gave me a horrible treat pizza was burnt twice and flavor disgusting. At one moment I decided to get water from my room and the same rude bartender asked me to pay like if I was going to run away. Next time he should ask if I needed something else.

My family and I stayed at Bananarama 12 years ago and it was just as wonderful the second time! Laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and drinks (here's looking at you Derry and Ryan) and the best dive shop ever. Thank you Zoe, Ben and Jordan for taking such good care of us on our dives! We loved every minute of our stay at Bananarama :)
