Great Stay Staff Was Wonderful

Enjoyed the stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Place was clean and bathrooms were large. Dive guides were knowledgeable. Had a great experience! They were able to set up a shark dive with another dive operator.

Hello Kelly,

It's awesome to hear that your experience with us was so great! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we're very proud of our staff/dive team and are glad to hear they did a great job. The shark dives on Roatan are operated outside of Bananarama, but can easily be arranged/booked by us. Thank you for choosing us as your dive resort while on Roatan as we were happy to have you! Please feel free to come back anytime, we wish you all the best and hope to see you again sometime soon!

Best Regards,
Bananarama Staff

When we go to Bananarama, we enjoy lunch and drinks near the beach. Weekly, they have hermit crab races and the profits benefit newborns from getting the HIV virus. If you are staying here, bring a can of infant formula to donate- the ladies have stopped HIV locally! I plan to bring a couple to share. I thank you beforehand for your activism and caring!

Room tip: Remember just steps away from beach, very quiet in evening.

Hello,

We're so pleased that you enjoy your time with us and continue to return. Sunday nights hermit crab races are a charitable event hosted by Bananarama that, as mentioned, help children here on Roatan. Thank you so much for your participation and support and welcome anybody else interested to come and join in the fun event. We look forward to your next visit and wish you all the best in the meantime.

Best Regards,

Amazing time in Roatan staying at Bananarama and diving with everyone there . My three children all received their open water dive certification while at the resort ! It couldn’t have been better with their dive instructor Andrea and Marco organizing it all for us!! Can’t wait to return! The food is incredible and the location is perfect with gorgeous snorkeling steps away!!

I can't say enough good things about this place! I will start with the scenery.....breathtaking! This little gem is nestled in West Bay beneath the palms overlooking the blue caribbean waters. The staff is beyond amazing! They are fun, friendly and very attentive to your needs. The food and cocktails are above average for a beachside bar. They run daily specials that can't be beat. Trust me when I say you don't want to miss out on 2 for 1 pizza day! You can also stay in one of their cozy cabanas(with ac). The rooms are clean and comfortable. You won't find a better place to relax and unwind than Bananarama!

We love this small intimate Beach resort and dive shop. Roatan is one of our all time favorite beach and snorkeling locations and this hotel is our favorite place to stay. This place has everything you need. It does not have a lot of the extras you don't need which is ok with me. It has good clean rooms with comfy beds and it is located right at the center of the West Bay beach. It does not have a huge fancy lobby with people to greet you with a drink. It does have a small check in office with at least 3 sweet young ladies there to welcome you with a smile, a room key and a coupon for free welcome drink. It does not have room service, it does have microwave, fridge and coffeepot in each room. It does not have a tv in the rooms, it does have CDs to rent and a library full of books in that small office. It also has nightly entertainment. It does not have a wet bar, it does have a real bar that looks out over the beautiful blue waters and is operated by the sweetest bartenders you could want. It does not have big buffet or all inclusive eating, it does have free breakfast, a brick pizza oven with weekly specials, a fine dining restaurant and a beach side restaurant with seafood, burgers, salads and lots of other good food. There are always super nice wait staff to greet you for breakfast , lunch , or dinner. Say hi to Carolina, one of the best waitresses on Roatan. If you are looking for fancy and uptight keep looking. If you want a place that you not only want to come back to, but let's you know in everything they do they want you to come back well then you found on of the best.

Bananarama is the BEST - staff, beach, drinks, food and rooms. If you want elegance Bananarama is not for you. If you want clean, friendly, beautiful, well organized, good value for your money Bananarama is your choice. Lindell, Carolina, DeShaun, Andy(security), AM “chair guy” ( sorry I have forgotten his name) made our experience superb. It is a perfect tropical paradise. Definitely a repeat experience.
