We stayed for 4 nights and selected one of the new bungalows.
The bungalow was very good indeed. Spacey, clean,modern with air con minibar and nice bathroom. The restaurant was so so and rather slow. Need improvement both in quality and management . Pool was very good but cleaning should be done during night and not in the morning when guests are eager to swim. The long beach was nice. We tried river trip, jungle adventure and also visited the plantation. All quite nice and interesting.
A good place for a family gathering.
My review is for the resort.
Banana beach is an hour drive from davao city.
Very huge with coconut planatation, you can do finshing too, 1 hour tour to the forest , the hanging bridge , close encounter with monkeys n wild pigs.
The entrance fee is 750 php and its consumable we used ours for food and forest tour but dont go there hungry bec. It tkes forever for them to serve the food they said 45minutes but its not .
Theres an infinity pool too.. too bad we didnt bring swim suits for they are strict for proper clothes to wear on the pool.
The best part of it was the forest tour i was amaze wih all the old trees unique roots and bigger trees...
The staff are nice n freindly too...
Pool was nice, ride through the jungle and 'tree-top' experience were fun. Had a great half-day. While I hate this 'corkage' idea the Phils continues to push, we had a great time. The places to sit and eat (away from the pool) left much to be desired, but it's forgivable, I guess.
For a very expensive fees on this beach to an ordinary gray-sand beach not worth. But for the forest tour and d amenities its worth.
Banana beach is such a lovely place to spend the summer. There are a lot of activities to do. They have both land and water adventures. The river cruise is an awesome experience. The Spot is a nice place to relax while catching fresh fishes.
Room: casita big and spacious linens and sheets are soft and comfy. Bathroom was big also, however i find the rate expensive. Their are other type of accomodation which is cheaper tho there are no close bathroom on it i find it hassle if you will stay overnight.
Food: this is what i remembered there are foods that are tasty there are also dishes which the meat are so hard to chew by the way the dessert named monkey tail one of their house specialty . It seems that its an over ripe banana covered on a chocolate thing. I dont like the taste we ordered 2 a total of 4 pcs. And everythin has the same taste.
Location: inside a banana/ coconut plantation the place is huge it seems their still developing the area . Pool is ok during our stay few guests are there so we enjoyed the pool most of the time by ourselves. I wasnt able to try to swim at their beach but looks its clean but dont expect crystal clear water and fine sand. They also have this guided tour around the area i recommend this one to see the whole place it was just also an average experience.
Staff: accomodating , tend to your needs right away
Overall: on that place this is already a nice resort but if you used to go to other places then dont expect too much. But worth a try...
