Strange hairs in the bathroom? Ancient matresses? Pre-used shampoo bottles? Grotty carpets? Mold? Peeling wallpaper? Rusty bathroom fixtures? Rude daytime desk staff? If these sound like assets, then by all means check in to this hotel. If they don't, go elsewhere. Fast! We'll never stay in this place again. more

We highly recommend Banana Bay Resort & Marina. We were there with friends for our annual vacation and we liked it a lot. The view was lovely (beach front), the service was genial, the rooms were simple but incredibly nice and the pool was not too big but pretty. We found it on the net in a web site called... more

The Banana Bay had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Make sure to get a room with a king sized bed. We were there during the off-season so it is hard to give an accurate assessment overall, but our stay was nice. It has a fun, well located tiki bar as well as a nice marina for... more

We just got back from a long weekend at Banana Bay and had a great time as usual. We've stayed there numerous times because its tough to find a nice clean hotel in the Keys with a marina that's not going to cost a fortune. Banana Bay is your typical older casual Keys motel, with friendly staff who go out... more

stayed here for three nights and it was by far the best hotel in the area for the money. We looked around about a dozen before finding this one and most of the others we lookded at around Marathon amd Islamoranda left a lot to be desired and were more expensive than this one. We didn't eat dinner in the... more

I had been down here a month ago and brought some friends with because the initial experience I had was great. Excellent food wow the blue corn encrusted snapper, great bar, service was awesome...the bartender made us amazing island drinks. This time they only opened when they wanted to the food was terrible and the service sucked...as for a bartender... more

My fiance and I were to be married on Sombrero Beach in Marathon, Florida. We had 25 rooms booked at the Banana Bay Resort for our family and guests. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Anna came through and destroyed our beach location and flooded our reception restaurant 3 hours before our wedding. Thank God for the amazing staff at the Banana Bay... more

We were looking at some places on Marathon and walked in to this "resort". It's more like a fancy hotel than a resort but the place is beautifull. We had a nice room with view on the Gulf. The pool is prettty big and has a (somewhat overpriced) Tiki bar. Ok the room was a little bit moldy but try... more

When I booked this motel/resort thru Expedia, I was a bit apprehensive, having read reviews on many motels in the Keys and hoping this one's high rating wasn't too badly exaggerated. Banana Bay Resort and Marina is nice. If you can't handle the "dated" furnishings, then go to the Holiday Inn, their bland crap in their rooms is "new" and... more
