Mixed review
PROS: Beds were comfortable, nice walk in shower, separate vanity area from the toilet area, tiled floors, Samsung TV, great view, ice machine for filling water cups, filtered water, breakfast every day with a good variety of cereal, bagels and biscuits. Keurig in room, mini frig in room and I mean mini. CONS: pool was not heated even though I called prior to make sure it was. Pool and especially hot tub was not cleaned. Hot tub was nasty. Room service was upon request for housekeeping, and then we would only get 2 towels at a time, sometimes no washcloth or no bathmat had to ask over and over again. Called front desk. no one answers. Breakfast was the same everyday, sausage patty and egg bites. Ran out of yogurt, orange juice and muffins on second day. Asked the owner about this and he said the truck didn't show up. none of this was available for the balance of days we were there. Then go to the store! Resort fee of 48.00 a day is supposed to include breakfast, not just partial breakfast. We did bring our issues up to owner and he made it right for us, but still do not take action to solve the issues. Great location, close to restaurants

I’ve been going to banana bay for 20 yrs and this will be the last trip there. We weren’t able to fry our fish. Normally we could use the common area shared by marathon beach club but that changed. We rented 6 rooms and the place was empty don’t understand.

The bar was not open for most of our stay so we were disappointed because we chose this property so we could enjoy drinks in the evening without driving. The room was clean for the most part. However, when we went to open a new roll of toilet paper there were 2 dead cockroaches inside the packaging. We didn’t see any bugs in the room otherwise but we took precautions when returning home.

Unfortunately, we will not be booking with this hotel again. We tried to keep our money local on the island and not book with a chain hotel however this “resort” was anything but. Water poured out of the shower onto the floor. The bathmat we were provided was no match for this. We had to use several towels to soak up the mess and I slipped coming out of the shower. This is an extreme safety issue! There is no place to put your items in the shower. I had to step out of it every time I wanted my shampoo, etc. The shower handle pieces were coming off the wall as well. The grounds around the hotel are extremely rundown. It does not seem to look like a gardener has seen to it in a long time. Tennis courts were unusable as the nets were down in n the ground. The pool are was rundown. The concrete around the pool area was falling apart and chipping off and we never once saw any one at the bar. I felt unsafe just walking around the pool area. There didn’t seem to be anyone at the point bar either. We left in the evening to find dinner and had a hard time coming back as the sign for the hotel was blinking on and off. No curb appeal whatsoever. We were extremely disappointed with the lack of care that the current owner is taking into his or her hotel situation, we will not book here again. What frustrates me is that we were charged over $160 for “Resort” Fees, resort amenities that we didn’t even get to use! This is a no go do not book this hotel!
