Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good and affordable bar food on the beach. Also very good service for a drink and bite to eat. We had Buffalo wings, island dip, and their local food dish with beef and chicken barbecue. Also a great location in the middle of the action with good views of the sunset and a short walk to the water taxi.

A good value for clean, basic lodging in a perfect location on the beach. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. The breakfast is made to order but very basic will limited options. The night life in the area shuts down around 9. A great snorkeling and dive location.

Great stay for a family. Plenty to do along the beach. Staff was great and the cleaning crew left the room spotless everyday! The sunsets on the beach are spectacular and to die for. Plenty of great specials throughout the week at the bar and restaurant.

We have stayed as a family at Bananarama multiple times and each time it gets better and better. They have the best drinks and bartenders on the beach as well as all of the other employees including servers, management, drivers and housekeeping staff. They have wonderful food with great daily specials! They also always have the best entertainment in West Bay. Bananarama is the place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing time or a stay full of adventure!

We stayed at Bananarama for our first visit to Roatan and would definitely go back without hesitation. They picked us up from the airport and stopped at the local market so we could grab a few groceries for our condo. Staff was amazing…friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Our condo was clean and stocked, situated close to the beach of beautiful West Bay. The restaurants on site were very good and we noticed many others from other areas and resorts coming to eat there as well. Breakfast is included, which was a plus. Dive shop and snorkeling gear on site with easy access to other excursions also. We were so well taken care of by this wonderful place and people and can’t wait to return!

We stayed at, dove with, went fishing with and ate at Bananarama all week. Shout out to Ryan in the restaurant, Hector on the beach, Ben and all the captains in the dive shop and Bryan and Anthony! They were all excellent. We stayed in the 2 bed/2 bath at mission gate rented through Bananarama so we had a short walk to the restaurant/office and beach but we honestly really enjoyed mission gate and didn’t mind the walk at all. Our housekeeper, Kellen, was great as well. The breakfast included with our stay was great. They have great specials on drinks and food and fun entertainment all week! We got dive certified with Ben and he was excellent. It was way out of my comfort zone-more than I realized honestly and I’m not sure I would have gotten through without him! We loved Latin on the beach and Hector was just more than you could ask for. So attentive and helpful. We’ll be back.

A great place to experience the West Bay of Roatan. Walk out the door to the beach. Snorkel from the beach. Book your activities on premises. Everyone was super friendly. Great daily drink and food specials...especially good wood-fired pizza.

We recently stayed at Bananarama Hotel, a quaint property with only 23 rooms. We were assigned a stand-alone unit, which included a bed, a fridge, microwave and a bathroom; however, we found it lacking in many aspects. The room had no chest of drawers or closet for hanging clothes, except for two shelves with hangers awkwardly placed on the upper shelf. As divers, we understand and appreciate rustic accommodations, but this was quite over the top. Although, we should note, the Dive Masters were excellent at their jobs, but we did find the dive sites somewhat lacking. The sink in our room was cracked, although it still held water, and the shower had been recaulked numerous times, indicating some maintenance issues. Additionally, the towel bars showed signs of corrosion, which is often expected in a resort close to the ocean. The walls were painted in an odd teal color, further adding to the lackluster ambiance. Surprisingly, the best aspect of the room was the nice ceiling fan, which seemed out of place amidst everything else. One major inconvenience we faced was the hanging shelf attached to the shower head, which had no back and constantly items would fall to the floor. On a positive note, the room did come with a complimentary breakfast; however, we were disappointed to find that the same four meal options were served every day without any variety. The onsite restaurant had daily specials, and we decided to try most of them. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was hit or miss, with tacos falling apart and pizza being burned on top. To make matters worse, the servers seemed indifferent and unresponsive to our concerns. While we know some regular guests seem to enjoy the resort, Bananarama was simply not the right fit for us. Despite our initial disappointment, we made the most of our week-long stay, but we don't foresee ourselves returning in the future.

Our fourth family dive trip at Bananarama, they treat you like family. The dive shop is spectacular. Zoe, the dive master is an aqua rockstar taking such good care of us. It’s like a personal dive instructor on personal dive trips diving like the rich and famous at a great price.Deshaun the manager of the property has been there for 10 years and treat you like he sees you every month remembers your name and your family and always there to take good care of you. Always a great time the beaches beautiful the food is great the people are fabulous, and the diving is world class.

Was here as part of a cruise ship excursion. The staff are excellent. The drinks are just the right mix of flavour and alcohol. The beach is fantastic, clean and off site vendors are kept a minumum. The food was excellent and will be second to none for similar venues and will challange any brick and mortar restaurants. I will be back next year
