Great no frills, comfy, safe and lively hotel!

This was my first trip to Roatan and I was on a budget. I did a lengthy research on different hotel booking sites and Bananarama consistently had good reviews. I was not looking for a luxury hotel, just a place that was clean, safe, with good service and right in-front of the beach. Bananarama Resort definitely delivered. I loved the no-frills, relaxed environment and vibe. My room (#7) had two beds in two separate areas giving it a mini apt feel, it was clean, comfy and AC worked perfectly (also a ceiling fan in each room). Bathroom was a decent size, with hot water. There was a sewer kind of smell at times and I solved it by covering the sink and shower holes with towels, also kept the toilet seat down. Not the best issue for a hotel to have, I know, but I think it’s across the area because I went to the fanciest hotel in West Bay (Kimpton) a few times to enjoy some guest passes and their bathrooms had the same sewer smell. Best part of Bananarama is their staff: receptionist, waiters, bartenders, etc. They are so warm, welcoming and helpful. Bartender Jose prepped killer piña coladas for me every single day, and my son loved the pancakes, burgers and pizza (so good). They prep traditional Honduran food too and it was delicious. The beach is right at the front and it was just gorgeous! If you’re looking for a relaxed, chill resort but safe for you and your family, stay at Bananarama!

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.

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.
