Stephen John, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great spot to explore West Bay. Rooms are basic but clean--just what you need if you plan to spend your time outside. Economical--free breakfast and beach recliners, rooms feel private while you have close access to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff, good food and great diving crew.
Lori, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

The people were wonderful. I was a bit concerned about safety before going given the travel warnings, but i never felt even a little unsafe. Dive shop folks were great also, laid back diving. Restaurant was friendly, food was good, though selection was a bit limited. Overall I had a very nice stay.

10/10 Excellent

Staff are friendly and the location is the best. We loved the rustic wooden building set in the jungle like palm trees. Everything we needed including foot wash stations and mini fridge. Great included breakfast!
lorelei, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our first time to Roatan and after reading tons reviews we settled on Banarama. We were so happy we did we loved everything! We barely wore shoes of any kind all week we were so close to the beach it was amazing. The breakfast was super great, the bar was fun, pizza was incredible and everything we ate from the cook was delicious and perfect. I would describe it as “lodgey”. The room was Small but clean and cleaned everyday. The fridge was super cold and having the fresh water and sink and microwave and coffee pot in our room was Awesome. Walking distance to several little stores and coffee shops and tons on restaurants up and down the beach. The water was crystal clear and we saw tons of starfish in the water right out front of the resort. We will definitely be back!

We came here for the diving and left with a love for west bay. The property is casual and clean with beach access and a great restaurant. Easy access to water taxi for a 5 dollar ride to west end. No TV in the room, but thats OK for us as we spent time outside enjoying the sunsets. We will be back

Teresia, 7-night trip

The only issue we had was the transportation from the hotel never showed up we found a cab.
Heidi, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in 5C. It’s a wonderful, large room with ample closet and storage areas. The bathroom is large with plenty of room for toiletries. Overall, it was a great experience.
MARK, 9-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved our stay at the Bananarama. Staff were very friendly. The attached restaurant, The Thirsty Turtle, had some of the best service we received in Roatan, and they have daily food and drink specials. Our room was about a 30-second walk to the beach. Banarama has an area reserved with lounge chairs solely for hotel guests, and they enforce it. The hotel is practially at the center of West Bay Beach also, making it a perfect spot. The rooms could use a little TLC, but that's so insignificant that it wouldn't stop me from staying there again.
Brett, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Convenient dining, exceptional service and professional dive center! Epic visit. Don’t miss the opportunity!
