It’s very pretty and calm.
The staff were not friendly, and our experience was disappointing due to several issues. Our booking stated it included a 30-minute free massage for everyone on the reservation. However, when we arrived, the staff seemed unaware of this offer. After some discussion, they only provided us with one massage instead of one per person as advertised. Additionally, our reservation included early check-in, but when we arrived, we were told this was subject to availability, which was not made clear beforehand.

Location
We found cockroaches in the kitchen, deteriorated fridge, one trash can in the bathroom and other hide. We found it the day of checkout. They offer breakfast from 7am. It’s a lie. They arrive at 7 and start service at 8.
We had to cruising in our boat and change our schedule to get breakfast and at the end, we got nothing. Personal no friendly

5.0 / 5.0
El check in es rápido, no te hacen esperar ni un poco. La atención de todo el personal del Hotel es excepcional, están bien entrenados, son muy amables y hacen lo posible y lo imposible para que el huésped se sienta a gusto.
Me encantó el detalle de la carta de recibimiento en la habitación con unos postres artesanales deliciosos.
Van todos los días a cambiar toallas y suministrarte lo necesario.
La comida es muy buena, los alimentos son de buena calidad y tiene muy buen sabor.
Es mi cuarta visita, el Hotel es muy bueno pero en esta oportunidad debo decir que deben acondicionar algunos aspectos de la habitación donde me hospedaron.
Booking me pidió que pagara un adicional por una habitación superior y lo hice, pero lo que obtuve no fue bueno.
El apartamento es el 408 con vista al mar y está en malas condiciones. No sirve la nevera, el grifo del baño está roto, el inodoro tenía la flota dañada, los zafacones están viejos y óxidados, la cama es durísima, los cojines de los muebles de la terraza están rotos y la palillera está condenada, es decir que a menos que sea de noche no puedes sentarte en el balcón.
Me mantuve tranquila aunque decepcionada, porque era Semana santa y sé que nada podían hacer para cambiarme de habitación porque supuestamente el hotel estaba lleno. Además no quería amargar mis vacaciones.
No tenía cafetera, aunque la joven del Lobby que es extremadamente amable me prestó una, ya en mi tercera noche. Lo cual agradezco. Pero entiendo que un Hotel de la categoría de Bannister no debe permitirse estas cosas.

Ubicación en un club de yates con mucha vegetación; desayuno rico y rápido, pocos clientes y gran capacidad de resolver inconvenientes por el servicio de atención al cliente. La suite de 2 habitaciones es genial porque tiene living comedor cocina, 2 baños y 2 terrazas.
Absurda política de no permitir camisetas sin manga para estar en la piscina. Las primera habitación tenía inconvenientes que resolvieron muy bien el personal por lo que recomendamos el hotel.

Amazing gateway, location is just amazing if you would like to escape from the city noise, relax, enjoy the beauty of the nature. As for the dog owners is amazing how pet friendly they are. Dogs get plates, food and even room services menu.
No much things to do. They said it will be open air cinema but nothing ever happend. But any way we had a great time

Great location, beautiful views, nice pools.
Rooms are comfortable and clean.
Food was ok but lots of dishes missing from breakfast menu (avocado or bananas were in short supply which is odd) more Dominican food options would have been nice.
There were lots of events and excursions that guest could have access to, but next to no communication from the hotel that these were happening which is a shame.
4.5 / 5.0

The only thing was the bed and pillows.

the serenity of the location and the attentions of the staff
it needs maintenance, the deck is broken, so you can’t do water activities. Also, the food isn’t great and don’t matches the prices.

Do not go near the bannister hotel!!!!
We booked 2 nights through Booking - it was a nightmare vacation!
We were the only guests, the hotel was not ready to accommodate people during the hurricane! Without electricity, water and food for two days! The hotel manager Daniel was not interested in helping or making a refund and either did booking! We suffered and paid them 210 dollars a night!!!!!!
All the hotel facilities were closed, water in the room through the electricity from the ceiling, broken doors, a crumbling ceiling and a horrible attitude!!!!! Do yourself a favor and stay away from these crooks! And all this and no one is willing to reimburse us!!!!! Save yourself from them!!!!!

The staff were all amazing! Beautiful room and delicious breakfast. We will be regular customers.
We booked a whale tour through the hotel - the boat and amount of people on the boat was not as we were told. It was not a good value compared to other tour offers. We were very disappointed.

3.0 / 5.0
First, staff is FANTASTIC! Especially Louis!
Breakfast was excellent, although a little slow.
Lots of facilities but not in good condition.
The hotel is very tired and rundown. The property is keep as clean as possible, but cushions are in terrible condition, the furniture is also.
What food was available was very good , but most things on the menu were not available! The showers leaked all over the floors. I could go on and on, but the staff made our visit wonderful! We had a great time because of them.
