Nice pool - Nice Sun beds - the pool bar wasnt open
4.0 / 10.0
Great time at Banana Bay, only reason 4 not 5 stars is that the pool closes as dusk, would have been nice to be able to enjoy the hot tub at night, but understandable as it is for safety reasons. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The staff were super friendly. Would absolutely stay here again.

The stay was great and the staff was wonderful. The only chance I would ask was a variety at breakfast. It was the same our entire stay.

Everything was good except their breakfast in a box, almost frozen. Kind of gross especially when you don't like what's in the box.

Disappointing experience. Left early because bed was so old the springs were coming up. This place needs a serious renovation. Room was pretty filthy and front desk never answered phone. When I went to check out no one was there at 715am during business hours. Won’t go back

Well Located hotel, rooms are comfy, AC excellent, good mattress and clean duvet, pretty bathroom. Nice view to the Marine. We met Al the manager very nice guy supervising everything.
10.0 / 10.0
The place is wonderful, just a few details that would bring it closer to perfection. The bathrooms should be cleaned more thoroughly, the ceiling fan has not been cleaned for a long time and was very dusty, and finally the gardening is really a shame that it is abandoned.

The property is a bit run down. People that work there are extremely friendly though. I’m still waiting for my xtra deposit and called front desk no answer.

We stayed in the airstream and it was super cute
The pool area was nice. There is not a beach to swim at, but a super cute spot for a night or two.

The room was updated and clean for the most part. Downhill from there. The worst kept pool of any hotel that I have ever stayed at. I would not get into hot tub. Tiles broken off with bare concrete and very cloudy water. The “boxed” breakfast was ok once but after that it was terrible. We made the best of a bad situation for 3 of the 4 nights but could not take it anymore and left the Keys one day early. That says a lot in itself. Upon notifying of early departure desk staff was nonchalant as if they had heard all this before. They charged me 75$ for late check out before 2pm. I just had to turn and leave. I had enough. DO NOT stay here. It was probably very nice once and would have potential again with monetary investment and proper management

Little deceiving on property details does not have a beach. The tiki bar was never open closed every day. Breakfast could be better.
6.0 / 10.0
start from the free breakfast - it was boxed with the frozen items, the third morning the half of the breakfast box items were missing, the area looks very unkept, there is no functioning bar or restaurant in the area. We had to pay a resort fee per day even though there was nothing to resemble a resort. Rooms were clean and well airconditioned. Also, there was a pool in nice size, no towel service by the pool.
2.0 / 10.0
For being a "resort", there's overall little on offer here. There's an oceanside bar and a poolside bar; both were closed the 2 days we were there. For some reason the door leading outside from our building was jammed open by the staff, making it so the whole building was sweltering hot, and therefore our A/C set to 61°F couldn't even keep up, and made it both a bothersome constant noise and uncomfortably warm in our room.

Worst experience ever! The place is old, not clean, the ice machine broken, the breakfast is limited and on top of that they overcharged, overcharges prices. Im still dealing with overcharges

This is our second time staying here. It will probably be our last. We were in building 3, it seemed older and in need of upkeep. Ice machine did not work. Bed was nice and room was nice. The pool is wonderful, pool area could use some clean up and there were lots of dead vegetation laying around the resort. , they needed landscaping. BUT the resort fee was ridiculous and the " breakfast " was a boxed breakfest with a cold folded over egg, some yogurt, a few muffins. There was cereal and some bread available in the breakfast room.. It was disappointing to say the least. The lady at the check in was a little rude when we arrived..
2.0 / 10.0
Beds were ok. Air conditioning was horrible. Didn't work well and super noisy. Location is ok. If it was a $200/ night hotel I wouldn't complain but for the price I have higher expectations than what we received.
3.0 / 10.0
Our air conditioner was just not cutting it. We spent our entire trip sweating.. inside. No fan in the bathroom so the humidity was stifling. The room was very clean and the grounds were beautiful.
6.0 / 10.0
Our room was not ready for almost 3 hrs after check in. We were given 2 drink coupons for the inconvenience, however neither the pool bar or the pointe bar were open any of the entire week we stayed.
4.0 / 10.0
the hotel was very abandoned, the resort part had no support from anyone, there were no employees around the resort, the bathrooms were very dirty, there were no pool towels. The website said there was a bar at the pool, but it was abandoned too. The accommodation part was ok, the room was clean and fresh, the TV wasn't working but they quickly changed it. The hotel has a lot of potential to be better, I think it needs better management.

6.0 / 10.0
They were short staffed, with nobody at the front desk at the time of check in/check out. The property and area was run down, with wood rot and rust everywhere. The free continental breakfast came in a brown box and all the food inside it was frozen and unable to be eaten. I had Read that there was a tiki bar open certain hours at the pool, but there was nobody there the entire weekend. Our room also had a musty smell to it that was coming from under our sink.

Great service and area around the bay.
4.0 / 10.0
Really a shame of property. A lot potencial. Rooms are big but amenities and the public areas seems to be abandoned. Owner should put some love and hard work instead of walking around the property smoking cigarettes. The pool was dirty and bar was closed for the 5nights we were there.
3.0 / 10.0
The pools and hot tub was amazing. Our second night we were awaken around 12:30 am with lound banging and yelling. The lady right across the hall was banging with her feet and fist on the door to get in. Within a 30 minutes the police showed up and stafted banging on the door. I opened my door to see them pulling the guy out and arresting him. The breakfast is a cold to go box. Nothing hot and you dont get to pick what you want. Having a diabetic father we ended up eating out for breakfast our entire stay. One of the perks i picked this resort was for the breakfast included. Our bottle water in our room was never replaced after the first day. The bed was super comfortable and the location was good for what we was doing.

Took awhile to check in. Room was clean and nice. Parking lot had nails and broken wood and debris everywhere. All the grounds were terrible and it was not kept up at all. The pool tile was horrible and needed a cleaning desperately. The dock/cabana was cute and nice to walk out to. They call it a resort and it’s far from that. Very disappointed.

Pictures are deceiving!! Do not waste your time or money on this dump. Upon arrival, we found this “resort” a total wasteland. Filthy, littered with bags of garbage, overflowing trash cans, broken down jetskis. The property looked abandoned. We tried cancelling and they refused to refund our money. Took the loss and found a MUCH nicer place to stay.
4.0 / 10.0
Honestly I was disappointed when I got here. The only good thing I can tell has been the customer service at desk. The whole facility it’s old and nothing related to the online pictures. The rooms are dirty, bathroom it’s disgusting they should clean better because even though it’s been updated they haven’t cleaned well for a while. The pool area it’s super old and dirty too. You guys need to do better for the prices that you charge it’s not worth it.

Very disappointed with this hotel, we bought our jet ski together with the boat and they told us that we couldn’t use the ramp for the jet ski and then on Saturday we saw two jet ski using it because Dory the Marine lady allowed them. We had two kids and I have to wait for my husband to go drop ours on the public marine. Another thing on the day of check out someone was knocking our door at 10am to do the check out like we didn’t knew the check out was at 11 am. I spoke with the manager on Sunday morning which was not very helpful at all saying that the new GM was the one allowing the jet ski, but only to some people not to all the guests, how is that? The breakfast is horrible, they give it prepare in a box (muffin, bagel, and a fake tortilla). For sure I’m not coming back.

Beautiful location and grounds. Friendly people, nice amenities and marina. Rooms are a little worn, but comfortable.

The breakfast was a cold boxed meal that was very unappealing and huge negative to an otherwise wonderful stay.
