DEAL We booked this hotel in a heartbeat after finding a stellar deal on cancun-dot-com for approximately $34 a night, in low season, following the swine flu hype. I would pay more with no hesitation. I felt guilty for paying that amount after our arrival, for the price was well below half the price of the normal rates that time... more

We stayed at the Fiesta Banana for 2 nights. I enjoyed the stay. The hotel and the room were clean and the staff were friendly. I liked where it was located, on the end of the 5th avenue. We had a room facing the street and there was quite some noise during the night, especially coming from the Italian restaurant... more

We stayed at Aventura Mexicana 5 nights previous to our stay at Fiesta Banana. It's about 4 blocks away and similarly priced. The difference was astounding. Fiesta Banana is in a decent location for beach time, located at the end of the famous 5th Avenue. The room however, was pretty bad. You have to use a special key to access... more

Stayed at Banana for eight nights. Greart room with balcony looking down to water. Five minute walk to beach club and with 50 % discount, two chairs were 20 pecsos. Fifteen minute walk to Mega or Walmart to shop for food. If you are a light sleeper, ask for room in rear. New restuarant opened 11/29 where they used to... more

We (adult couple and 5 yo son) only needed an inexpensive place for 4 nights as we were attending a wedding in Playa del Carmen then moving on for a weeks stay at an AI in Playacar. I surfed all around, finding prices from $30/night up to $200/night. Proximity to the beach was not important for us but we needed... more

My husband, 6 yr old, 8 yr old and I stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in August 2008. We loved this hotel! We picked it based on its close proximity to the better north part of the beach in Playa. We were very pleased with our room #207 when we arrived. It was clean, roomy and had a... more

Made my reservation directly with Fiesta Banana over email since that was the only way through their website. They replied via email asking for CC number to secure deposit. I was a bit hesitant, but this is Mexico, not exactly the most high tech of countries, so I went ahead and sent it. No problems here. The hotel is exactly... more

Awesome!

Just got back last night; it was amazing! If you're looking for a hotel that'll pamper you, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for a nice, clean place to sleep at night, this is it. It has personality, for sure. The walls are all hand-painted and there's a cute restaurant/bar. The pool is pretty mediocre, but honestly, Fiesta... more

Great buy!

The Fiesta Banana was great for the price. The staff is friendly, and the food in the cafe is good. The location is great, not in all the action but only a mere 10 minute walk from the heart of fifth avenue. We didn't really enjoy the techno music at Mamita's, but walked down to El Tarraya and Bad Boys... more

The inn is not in the center of buzzing Playa, but it's a ten-minute walk through town to beachside bars like Blue Parrot and a five minute walk to the beach. The cafe attached to the inn is perfect for quick meals and cheap drinks—the waiters will even help you practice your Spanish. Warning: the free continental breakfast is a... more
