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

There are better places to stay in Marathon for less money. The air conditioners are noisy, the rooms are old and dank, the grounds are not well maintained, but it is the Keys. Sorry, I can't recommend this place. more

We booked two rooms at this resort for a long 4th of July weekend with friends. The resort is pretty and the facilities are your typical small Florida Keys hotel style - marina, pool, bbqs. The marina and pool are beautiful and the restaurant could be nice if they work on their staffing a bit. The rooms are decent but... more

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 furnishings... more
