Beautiful sandy beach, snorkeling and diving, yummy rum drinks. Loved it!! Resort is no frills, but a perfect place to relax and forget your troubles. Trees and hammocks give you a place to relax away from the intense Caribbean sun. Kakaks and rafts enable you to enjoy to crystal blue water. Will definitely be back.

Bananarama gave us a great first experience in Roatan. The staff was great, the food was good, and the drinks were STRONG!! We did a smaller dive package, and had a wonderful experience with our guide. My only complaint here was that our dives were often scheduled around the ppl who went diving every day... not necessarily when we wanted to go. The accommodations aren't 5 star, but they are definitely nice with a local feel. I did miss having a pool, however I would definitely recommend this beautiful bay to everyone!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Bananrama through a Groupon purchased for a 4 night stay. It was really fantastic! The staff is excellent ( Danery and Denise were very helpful at the front desk) and the bartenders at the Thirsty Turtle are so much fun. Tim was unforgettable, but they were all great! The food at the Thirsty Turtle served us just fine for the 4 Days we were there...The lobster on Thursday is incredible! The breakfasts are delicious- My boyfriend LOVED the breakfast pizza. We ate at the Vintage Pearl one night, and it was good, but a bit pricey for us. We walked along the beach another night and had a similar quality meal at "Argentinian Grill" for a better price. The beach is stunning! Crystal clear water, clean white sand, and plenty of beach chairs! If you rent some snorkel gear you can swim out to the reef in minutes and see a huge variety of fish and coral. We had an amazing experience and I definitely want to come back so we can take advantage of more of the things they have to offer- like trips to other islands, taking a boat out to see some more of the reef, and maybe some fishing and diving. The bugs were never problem for us because it was nice and breezy while we were there. I definitely recommend staying here! Thanks Bananarama! --- Megan & Javier

We learned to dive at Bananarama five years ago with our youngest son and couldn't wait to come back with the whole family, all eight of us. It was the perfect reunion vacation. We rented the King house and had lots of together time. We dove everyday. The dive master and instructors - all highly professional - worked up a great schedule for us so that those of us who were not yet certified quickly completed their course. We had wonderful family dives all together at the end of the week.
The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The food at the Thirsty Turtle and Vintage Pearl was delicious. The evening live music was fun. There are plenty of activities for non-divers. Great snorkeling right off the beach.
All this was surprisingly affordable (except the Vintage Pearl, which serves gourmet cuisine). This is not a five-star resort. It has a more rustic feel, which to us is its charm. It is sparkling clean.
The dive shop is absolutely top-notch.
