We had an amazing time at this resort! Our bungalow was cozy and private, and the beach was just steps away, making it a perfect getaway. The food at the beach bar was delicious, especially the yellowfin tuna. While most of our experiences were fantastic, we did have one awkward encounter with a surf instructor. Overall, this place offers a great value and we can't wait to return!

The bungalow was very clean and situated in a great location, perfect for those who enjoy a beach party vibe. The staff was incredibly hospitable, and the pool provided a refreshing escape from the heat. However, the lively atmosphere at the nearby bar could be a bit too much for those seeking tranquility, which slightly dampened our experience.

Banana Beach Bungalows offers a wonderful beachside location and lovely bungalows, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, I had some frustrating experiences with customer service and room arrangements that put a damper on my visit. Overall, it's a decent place, but expect potential issues with communication and room assignments.

Rooms

7.0

The bungalows are spacious and have a smart design, with the kitchen and living area outdoors and the sleeping space inside. However, my experience was marred by being assigned the wrong room, which lacked the honeymoon suite features I had previously booked.

Service

I found the service lacking, particularly with communication around my booking and issues that arose with my room. Staff could have been more proactive, especially considering it was a special occasion.

The location is absolutely perfect, just steps away from the beach where I spent most of my days lounging and enjoying the beautiful sunsets.

Dining

While the in-house restaurant offered excellent food and service, the lack of communication about booking in advance for special occasions led to a less than ideal dining experience on New Year's Eve.

The amenities, including the beach beds and pool area, were nice, but the noise from the nearby beach party vibe diminished what could have been a peaceful environment.
