My wife and I (along with friends) just returned from our third visit to Bananarama Dive Resort. This time we and another couple shared one of the beachfront villas at Island Pearl, which is now part of Bananarama. We had an absolutely great time. Bananarama is a family owned resort. The first two times we were there, Jamie and Louis... more

We knew everyone at the hotel by the end of the trip! The chef, the manager, all the dive masters, the waiters, the guests, you name it. When we first got to Roatan, we were booked at a hotel in the West End. We took a look around the West Bay beach, and there was no comparison, West Bay is... more

We paid for the "best" villa (the most expensive) right on the beach since it was our honeymoon! 1. I told them upon booking that is was our honeymoon and they did absolutely nothing to make it special (the first place we stayed gave us champagne, roses, etc). 2. They made us pay for a cab to take us to... more

I stayed in one of the Villas. To say the least, this was my best vacation ever, my second best was my last stay! From bein... more

After spending one week at Bananarama in January, my husband and I decided to take our 20-something daughter and son for 2 weeks in March. We spent one week at Island Pearl and one week at Bananarama. Our vacation was incredible. We stayed at Island Pearl the first week and the room was perfect. We had more than enough room... more

Our family of four (two college sons) spent a week at Island Pearl. Even though we carefully researched our choice, we were surprised and delighted at the resort. It was everything we hoped for and more. We will return. Island Pearl arranged for us to be picked up at the airport (Hi Danny). We were impressed that he waited for... more

Island Pearl is part of the Bananarama Dive Resort, at West Bay, Roatan. We had a great two bedroom villa for a week and it was right on the beach. I hear the individual rooms at the resort are also great. The staff were friendly - the owners (Guy was literally everywhere, always checking if everyone was alright, being friendly... more
