I won't belabor this one -- others who experienced Banana Bay have conveyed the scene we found in their reviews -- but add me to the list of those saying you could do better for a hotel in the Marathon area. For fans of funky (like us, generally), Banana Bay has much potential -- they could keep the retro look,... More

This was my third stay at Banana Bay. I love the feel of this place...like stepping back in time so far away from the craziness of the world. It's a true escape from the sameness of most of the modern resorts. The pool is huge, the tiki bar (and Noni, the barkeep) is welcoming and the rooms are comfortable. The... More

My husband and I have stayed all over the Florida keys and Banana Bay is somewhere we will return to. The rooms are very clean and cozy. The staff is great and they have a great pool. The resort is very charming. More

I think the photos online are misleading of this place. We bought a visit through Florida Vacation Auction and were disappointed in how the pictures shown on their site look quite different than the live view we saw during our stay. This is a nothing special place - the only reason I didn't rate it lower than average is that... More

I had actually paid for the trip before reading the reviews - it was a 1/2 price radio special. After I read the reviews I had some serious reservations about even taking the trip. In the end, I decided that we would go and check it out and if it was so awful that we could not bear to stay... More

The people here are very nice, the staff is attentive and the housekeeping is fast and efficient. My only real problem with the place is how old the facilities are. You can tell that nothing has been upgraded in the regular rooms for a long, long time. It's possible that the ocean front cottages get appropriate star treatment, but that... More

We docked our 40 foot Carver at Banana Bay Resort and Marina for the month of July. Larry Wade the dock master did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable including personally checking with us on a daily basis. We used Banana Bay as our home base for cruising and fishing the Keys. While docked at the Marina we had... More

We stayed at this resort in Feb of this year for one night. The only reason we picked this spot was its proximity to the public marina where our friends had a sailboat and that it was a spur of the moment stay.It's saddly outdated and in need of major refurbishment,the only good thing was that the bed linens were...

I woke up with bug bites all over my body, after telling the girl at the desk she said sorry and looked away. My husband told them that they could have a nice place if they cleaned it up. They didn't seem to care at all!! Will never stay here again and will make sure to tell all my friends... More
