Aside from a rude "Security Man" in a golf cart, the room wreaks of moldy smell, mold visibly growing on the wallpaper and Fleas! And since my flight arrived (10p) after the front desk personnel are gone there is nothing I can do until the morn, which will be checking out. If you are in dire straits then book this one BUT if you value ...

Horrible and dirty - would not stay again.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/05/09
We booked a room at Banana Bay because we saw their brochure and though it looked beautiful. We were quite surprised to find the true condition of the "resort." The first room we were given was a "pool view" but actually overlooked the parking lot. We asked for a room change and were given an equally depressing room. The ...

Our room was BAD. We were ...

Nice website - lousey place!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/27/09
I couldn't believe it when we walked into the place. I had high expectations from the photos on their website and we were in for a shock. What a dump! Our rooms were filthy. The "beach" is a joke (15 foot long piece of sand next to garbage). Upon checking out we asked for some compensation because we felt we overpaid. The website is ...
Avoid like the Plague! Liars, crooks, dirty bathrooms!
There are better places to go in Marathon..AVOID!

Don't do it!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/14/08
Hate to say anything bad about anyplace or anyone so I'll start with the good. The place was I am sure once very nice - that was befpre hurricane Wilma that came through in 2005 with 8 foot tidal floods. The place was never redone and the smell of antifungal spray permiates ever room in the place. The rug (once green) is now more like black on ...

Would never go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/25/07
Our stay this July shared almost all of the problems cited by previous reviewers on other sites, and a few new ones as well. I'll skip writing all of that except: The desk clerk 'Bob' made us feel that it was us who were being inconvenient when calling about our bed which was soaked from the leaking ceiling . We had to sleep in it ...

Watch out for the Bar Tender
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/31/06
I recently spent 5 days at this resort. I was with my family and everything was fine. I know it might sound petty, but the only waitress at the Tiki Bar, was a miserable witch. She made up her own hours. She closed the bar at all different times. She also was argumentative and rude. She was constantly coming up to us, checking our area for beer. ...

I cried when we left!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/21/06
My husband and I, and our five children, ages from 7 to 25, spent our first ever night in the U.S.A.at Banana Bay, following a recommendation from English friends who had stayed there many years ago.We stayed over Christmas,and enjoyed a fabulous meals in the restaurant.The weather was not as good as we had hoped and the poolside bar was closed. ...
Everything is just fab! The location is great, the beach gives you privacy, the pool is huge, the bar staff have a great sense of humour, the weather is almost always amazin, and the staff in the hurricane, and the atmosphere at night is brilliant. Recommend it to anybody!
