We loved the location as our room overlooked the Marina. The hotel, however, may be on it's last legs. When we checked in, we had to sign an agreement as to the cost of the stay. They did not show the 'resort fee' of $7 per night nor did they raise it with us. That was left as a surprise... More

This place was OK. It's one of the more affordable places in town, was right next to a great dive shop. The rooms weren't great and do need to be updated, but the property is well maintained, the pool is huge and the marina had a nice BBQ area where we had dinner a couple of times. However, I'm not...

My husband and I have been to Banana Bay many times and "love" it. We love to snorkel and you can do that from right in the back of the marina. We usually stay a week at a time and have had three trips so far. Matter of fact, we are returning for another week in July, just in time... More

Resort? Really!!!!! What part of this property spells resort? Extra fees for resort are laughable. Our room was average, the hallway was filthy, never swept while we were there although it obviously needed it, only one wash cloth ( both days), Tiki Bar only serves hot dogs and beer (at night), no restaurant. Pool was nice although in need of... More

Beautiful grounds with lush landscaping. Nice pool. Room was very spacious and comfortable. A plus is the shower facilities for marina guests. No problem for us to check out at 6 am to go fishing and then return and shower before heading to the airport. I wouldn't compare this to a high end resort but for the area I think... More

We stayed for 2 nights here and it was not worth the money. Our room was musty, the beds were ok, the AC was extremely loud and metal parts stuck out of the bed which my partner unfortunately caught and cut her leg. The pool was relatively nice and the pool bar was cool but again this needs to be... More

This is the Florida Keys! If you want a 5 star hotel, go to Miami. This place was great. We came down to dive for our anniversary and couldn't have been happier. I did find a scorpion in my room, but I don't believe it was planted there by the staff. I scooped it up with a piece of paper... More

Booked in for four days and was initially disappointed by the general faded apearance of the whole place. A bit of a 'Hemmingway' look makes it interesting, but the furniture has sure not been renewed for many a year! Rooms were clean, although entrances and hallways were very dirrty with carpets that looked like they had seen much better days.... More
