We booked a room at Banana Bay because we saw their brochure and though it looked beautiful. We were quite surprised to find the true condition of the "resort." The first room we were given was a "pool view" but actually overlooked the parking lot. We asked for a room change and were given an equally depressing room. The furnishings... more

We loved the tropical gardening all around the place.The new restaurant had decent food.Pool was big and nice.I counted over 50 lobsters in and around the boat slips."Totally cool".But don't get caught catching any.NOT ALLOWED.The only drawback was the room.Very damp and moldy.I'm not an inspector but when you lean on the wall to balance yourself I'm pretty sure its... more

The hotel is beautiful the pool superb, rooms a little dated but clean so no complaints. The marina is recently re-built and very smart. Poolside tiki hut is good and the staff very nice, in fact all the staff are friendly so up to now 5/5 BUT it is all let down by the restraunt. It only opened again in... more

We stayed here May 8 to May 11. The hotel room and common areas were very clean the whole time we were there. The refrigerator, TV, AC were all in perfect working condition.

I was also a little nervous because of the mixed reviews, but as a person who has stayed in many many little resorty places in the Keys, I loved it! Our room was very clean and we liked the fabric around the bed. There is a little "beach" in the back of the property, which is rare in the Keys,... more

Banana Bay Resort definitely has it's ups and downs. We have lived in the Marathon area off and on for a long time. We decided to stay at Banana Bay Resort this week so that we could go out diving with our special dive equipement. The Marina ALLEGEDLY had decent boats to use for diving. Now for the first BAD.... more

Well, of the two kinds of resorts in Marathon, Deluxe( hello Tranquility Bay!) to far more common, motel type "resort"s, Banana Bay was ok and that is it. My husband had booked us the 'honeymoon/anniversary package' in which the room looked really nice, on the website's 800 #. When we went to check in they had double booked the honeymoon... more

The website looked good and everywhere else was booked or too expensive so we stayed there. The buildings literaly had stuff, like pieces of wood, coming off them. The TV was so small you needed reading glasses to watch it. They really need to make some improvements. The room smelled like cigerette smoke so we told the office. They were... more
