The only negative thing was after booking the room we found out there was a $50 per day resort fee. It included a basic breakfast, 2 bottles of water each day and I think a couple of other things. Only received 2 bottles of water for our complete stay, also we had to ask for coffee in our room.

Meh!

Overall, our experience was good, and the service was pleasant. However, we did encounter a few issues. When we arrived for check-in, there was no one at the front desk. Despite knocking and calling out, no one responded. We ended up waiting at least 25 minutes until we finally discovered and pressed a poorly marked button, which then brought someone out. Additionally, the pool appears to need maintenance, as it looks somewhat neglected. The dock area is lovely, but it would have been much better if there had been staff available at the bar, as no one was there to assist us. Honestly, it wasn't bad, but I did find it a bit pricey considering the hotel's condition. I think I would have paid the same amount, probably at a nearby hotel that was in better condition. The breakfast was very disappointing. It would be a great improvement if you considered partnering with a nearby restaurant to provide better-quality options. Currently, the food offered is frozen, which is neither healthy nor appetizing.

Don’t plan to have breakfast, very disappointed in the offerings. The rooms are standard hotel rooms, safe, clean, need more light in the rooms. The pool area does not offer towels, and the property overall is run down compared to how it is represented online.

Pretty Nice property overall, Kids enjoyed the heated pool and the tennis/pickleball courts. The Free Breakfast could really use an improvement. Many fellow residents were complaining/joking about the Free Breakfast. Beer and wine bar at the pier had wonderful staff and attitude. we enjoyed our stay, and it is within driving proximity of many activities. Enjoyed the overall atmosphere of residents and renters.

We love the Banana Bay Resort and keep returning year after year. The staff is very friendly and always responsive! The resort is clean, peaceful, and I so enjoyed walking through the property early in the morning and evening. The hammocks near the tiki bar at the back of the property were a nice touch. We would gather here at sunset which was very relaxing. We also appreciated the complimentary breakfast, which was a nice touch, but I it would be nice if they could add a little variety to the breakfast items. After speaking to one of the employees, apparently the pool will have a much needed overhaul beginning in April 2025. Overall, we had an amazing stay, and I highly recommend this resort to family and friends. We will definitely be returning!

Paid $375 for room with one working light. Smoke alarm went off at 5:00 AM several times in room for no reason. No TV- it did not work. Dirty chairs at table and couldn’t make coffee because the outlets didn’t work. The room was booked because of fires in the keys and we were stuck. Could you please look into this for a refund. We will never book there again nor will we book through Expedia if they can’t help us with this situation. Customer Service phone numbers for Expedia don’t direct you to anyone for help. Hopefully they answer this in a timely matter.
