I absolutely loved the little bungalows at this hotel. They were private, clean, and the location was perfect. My only complaint is that it is very loud in the evenings. There is music at the bar till 10 (11 one evening) so if you’re younger and looking for a party, this place is perfect. The sunsets at the restaurant are amazing.

The room was great and the pool is alright it definitely needs an upgrade on the beach chairs and there isn’t a nice view from the pool unfortunately. Unfortunately the restaurant had just burned down 5 days prior but they made a pop up kitchen so they still have great options! The staff were really friendly as well!

The Bungalows were just what we were looking for and the staff were very friendly and responsive to my inquiries. Family of four travelling with 2 teenagers so it was important to find a place that was close to the beach and also local restaurants. The pool is also nice and was not crowded at all.

Great Stay

Great service, a great location and a reasonable price. I would definitely stay here again. Danielle and Emilya were extremely helpful. There are a lot of restaurants near-by if you don't want to eat at Banana Beach, the bank machine is within walking distance plus the pool and the beach are right there.

Awesome location and amazing restaurant

We had a lovely stay at banana Beach. It was a bit loud in the evenings with the music from the restaurant but they did turn it down relatively early. Our bungalow sweet, a bit basic but had everything we needed. Excellent location in terms of proximity to the beach and town. The highlight was the accessibility to the restaurant right on the beach with a little playground for the kids and lovely food
