This was our second visit to Roatan and Island Pearl. We were so pleased with our find last year that we had to return again this year!! Again, we were not disappointed. If you are searching for a vacation where you are on a beautiful white sand beach, quaint villas, attentive and personable service, an awesome dive shop, excellent food,... more

We went to Bananarama to dive the barrier reef on Roatan. What we got was a lot more. Guy & the staff at Bananarama made our stay a pleasure. Everyone was so friendly & accomadating, & the whole compound was clean. While Bananarama is not a luxury resort, the rooms were cozy & clean. The food & drinks at the... more

Returned from an eight-day trip to Roatan and was lucky enough to be able to stay at Banarama. There was a group of eight of us and four had been to Banarama previously; otherwise, I'm not so sure I would have heard of this family owned resort. And when I say resort, wipe from your mind the usual images of... more

Know how they say time flies when you're having fun? How could it have gone by so fast?Simple answer___when you're totally relaxed, well fed and cared for by wonderful people on a gorgeous beach, it's easy to think this is where you must belong, and just assume it's never going to end. Some of our group had never been here... more

Traveled to Roatan for 20 days with a buddy and picked Bananarama as I had stayed threre previously. Louis and Jamies (the owners/managers) had just turned over the reins of the resort to Louis' dad GUY and returned to the states to raise their great kids. Guy and Tina are awesome and continue to operate the resort in the manner... more

My girlfriend and I recently took a trip to Roatan and stayed at Bananarama for seven nights. The location is absolutely ideal...Steps away from the BEST beach in all of Roatan.... The room was perfect, all you would expect from a private cabana. The staff was great, some of the best people on the whole island. The owners are great,... more

Just returned from Bananarama and loved it! My wife and I did not dive, but will probably get certified next time around. This resort does not pretend to be five stars, but has evrything that you need for a great vacation, and then some. The owner and staff are VERY friendly and cater to your needs, the rooms are OK,... more

First of all, I will list the positives. - Great location on beautiful crystal clear water. Shore snorkeling, access to kayaks, beach chairs and a lot of sun! - The Dive Shop was very helpful and we got certified on our trip. The staff was very patient with us and really made sure that we were comfortable in the water.... more

Bananarama on paper is a great location but during the prime daytime beach hours there are 5 cruise ships daily that drop off heards and heards of annoying cruise-shippers to your "paradise". Food at the bar/grill is equal to micorwaved fast food. Dive shop had dangerously aweful service and the dive masters all strong accents making them difficult to understand.... more
