Banana Beach Resort

Nice size room. Clean. Good breakfast at hotel restaurant with beach view. Resort is right on the beach. Friendly staff. Massage by the ladies by the pool was good. This resort attracts families with young children so is suited for families with a pool and playhouse area for the kids.

Could do with cushions on the outside terrace seating area of the rooms to make them more comfy. Many mosquitoes on room terrace but it's to be expected when outside!

The place is just perfect for families! The staff is super nice, the beach is just one minute from your room, the breakfast is great and the pool is nice and calm. They even have toys and a wooden house for the kids to climb and play in. They supply mineral water everyday and beach towels whenever you need. We loved it so much that we end up staying a whole month.

Nothing!

Excellent for families, we did not feel the need to go out which is such a great feeling when you have young children and you just need to relax. Staff was friendly and helpful. Having breakfast by the beach every day is unbeatable, their coconut waffles are just amazing and the lady who prepare them is really kind. We spent one month, initially by the garden which we loved and then we moved upstairs which was nice to have more privacy.

There is a stream of waste water which goes to the ocean right behind the resort, it can be seen and smelled, specially from the second floor, we stopped swiming in the ocean due to this health concern. Food portions for dinner were quite small for the price and we barely had lunch or dinner at the place.

It was a truly brilliant ‘family’ holiday. The staff were second to none…amazing, nothing was too much bother, smiles all round. The location was so easy and relaxed to walk along the beautiful beach or a dip in the pool or stroll along the restaurants. Everything you would want for a chilled relaxed stay.

There are a lot of kids here, which isn’t really a bad thing but I would even recommend it unless you have a young family and want to mingle with others. The rooms are a bit basic but this didn’t bother us. Fine for a few nights, cleaned everyday.

Location was excellent near the beach. Breakfast was quite basic. Eggs in different forms and multiple fruits with white bread. Facilities was clean and good. This resort has lots of families with little children. Massage studio at the hotel area. Not so far from Saladan to have dinner and shopping. We had unplanned change in middle of our reservation and the hotel stuff handled it very good

Beds was outdated and pretty firm. Pool area was very humble. Not sure how often the water was changed or cleaned.

We had a wonderful vacation at the Banana. Everyone was so friendly and up on their feet to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Our daughter especially enjoyed all the toys, the pool and lots of mates to play with. We prolonged our stay due to its ideal conditions for families. Special thanks to the restaurant staff and Init who helped us change our dates and was wonderful about it.

There is loud music at night from the bar next door. It was okay for us as you couldn’t hear much from inside the bungalows but to some it might be too loud.

I love this property as it’s really great for children, very safe shallow waters on the beach and lots of children for them to play with, also there’s lots of toys available for the children. If you have a family this is the place for you.

The breakfast can be a bit the same, a bit of everything though is available, I would have liked to have seen some Asian options fried rice/noodle dishes available. Our room was on the river side of the resort, which made for a lot of mosquitos when sat outside, we bought a mosquito incense locally to help combat this.

Pool, breakfast, hot water, AC, beach view (and 30sec walk to beach), friendly/helpful staff, and onsite Thai massages with ocean view/sounds. There was also a restaurant onsite, as well as nearby along the beach and the main roadway. You can enjoy a fire show around 8pm most nights, too!

Bed was pretty firm and sheets could've been a bit fresher. There was a slight musky smell but it could've been from the humidity. Still comfortable! Maybe include smaller pillows since the firm bed and thick, firm pillow combo was a bit rough on my neck. I'm also a side sleeper so it may affect people differently.

- great location - felt really safe and welcome as a solo traveller - friendly, helpful staff. On hand as needed, but also happy to give you your privacy - plenty of transport options - good size room, very comfortable and water pressure in shower also very good - right onto the beach which had lots of bars and food options - breakfast is basic but tasty - this place is fantastic value for money

Absolutely the best for kids. It’s like a huge kindergarten! Loads of toys, climbing frame, little pool for little people, great kids options at breakfast and a kids menu. All the staff also absolutely adore kids. Perfect

The bar next door can be a bit loud depending on the evening
