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.

Great place
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.

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

Could be updated
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.

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.

Not much of a "resort"
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.
