'Rama Review
The resort was a nice place to stay at, it has gotten smaller since I was last there. Apparently, part of the property was sold off. The staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the Bar Staff was a bit disappointing, to say the least and I was extremely surprised. I am a Black Honduran who was raised in the States. The Bar staff, who were also Black Hondurans, seem to be very attentive to the white patrons and constantly overlooked me, even when sitting in front of them. I brought this to the attention of the Manager and to my surprise, he said that it wasn't the 1st time he's heard that. I asked him to address it with his staff and he told me that he would.

Health concerns
We had wanted a place to stay that was a little rustic to match the Island vibe, however the Bananrama lacked basic comforts. The view from unit 21 was beautiful and the room cute and quaint. Unfortunately, the toilet would not flush at night and frequently reguritate sewer fumes. The air conditioner had no temperature adjustment to keep the room a plesant temperature. We would wale up several times a night becausewe were too cold or too hot. The safe in the room wasnt working amd the staff had no idea how to fix it. The housekeeper didnt bring us fresh cups/mugs everyday but rather did a poor job of rinsing them out. Some days our coffee cupa were turned over and presented as clean when in fact is was obvious they weren't even rinsed. Yuck!

Family trip
In the description it says modest, so don't expect typical resort/hotel fanciness. We stayed in location #20 for reference. 3/4 size refrigerator, which was very helpful for plenty of leftovers and water. Microwave and plates that were handy. Didn't want to use the forks because they didn't look too clean or cleansble, but that was OK we didn't really need them. The room stayed nice and cold, which was refreshing when we came out of the warm/humid outside. The shower was interesting because in order to get it to warm/hot, you have to turn it to the middle point on the right side, not all the way to the "hot" setting like we assumed. Not bad, but took us a neighbor to figure that one out. Staying on the second floor have is our own balcony with some chairs and a hammock, which was nice in the mornings. It's close to the bar/restauarant area, so if you're trying to go to sleep early, probably have some earplugs or something, not an issue for us, we just ended up going to sleep late anyways. Very friendly security staff. Actually encountered a situation with a rude visitor passing through, calling the security guard some names and he handled himself well without retorting back. Joell was our driver from the airport and he was friendly and a great driver. The included breakfast was great every morning and so were the servers. Had a jenga table and connect 4 games next to the tankless which kept the kids busy while we were waiting for the food.

The restaurant food and pizza is excellent. Bar prices are very reasonable. I did not like the hotel shuttle driver trying to charge me $50.00 for a shuttle the hotel clearly said would be $30.00.

this hotel exceeded expectations. Yes it is rustic without being updated, but the price reflects that. What it is is clean, on the beach, centrally located, with a great little bar/restaurant. I kept reading how they were hot water issues but did not notice that. Plenty is hot water for showers. No TV, but good WiFi for Netflix on the tablet. Water taxi is right out front. Great beach with plenty of beach chairs. Convenience stores are close by for snacks and alcohol for the room. The property grounds are kept spotless. We stayed here for a week and loved it.

We loved loved loved the Bananarama. It looked exactly like the photos online. It's location is right in the middle of West Bay Beach. You can walk either direction the entire length of the beach. The staff is the best. Eddie, one of the bartenders greeted us each night with a smile. The rest of the staff is awesome also. Price of the food and drink at the pizza place and Turtle were the best along the beach. If you are looking for a top notch fancy place this is not the place for you . That's the only reason I did 4 stars because it is an older place, very basic, but we felt like we were really living a beach life there and that was exactly what we wanted. It was so nice to walk a few steps for breakfast which is included. The cleaned everyday. Also water taxis are right at our beach. No compamints at all!!

I liked that it has free breakfast. What i didn't like is the staff should be more welcoming to the guests, every morning, afternoon and evening that I saw the employee's i always greeted them and they greeted right back. I didn't get it from your staff. They're very amazing people but they need to go the extra mile.
