I stayed 5 nights at Banana Bay with my best friend for a relaxing, self-care vacation. Banana Bay served this purpose for us. It has a somewhat rustic, laid-back feel which we loved. The staff were professional and friendly, even in the face of crabby guests with negative attitudes. The pool and hot tub area were big with lots of space for folks to spread out. The tiki bar bartender was friendly and created drinks close to what we wanted, even if she didn't have the ingredients for exactly what we desired. Our garden view balcony provided natural entertainment as we ate breakfast observing several iguanas climbing the trees near us. The breakfast is just as presented on the website; it's simple, but was really nice to have so we could sleep in as late as we wanted and still go pick up a box by 10am. Considering the high prices at local restaurants, we didn't have to spend more or get dressed and leave the resort early to find food. The resort let us take their bikes to Sombrero Beach for the afternoon, which we enjoyed that easy bike ride. The only disappointment was we believed the resort would have its own kayaks/paddle boards to use based upon the web site marketing. The dock master informed us the contractor who used to provide this service needed more business/profit and moved to another location. So if you want to kayak/paddle board, you will have to rent one and have it delivered to the resort or go kayaking at another park or business.
