My husband and I stayed here this past weekend. The website promises tennis courts, a bocce ball court, and a restaurant among other amenities. The restaurant has been closed for over a year we were told. The tennis courts and bocce ball courts were unusable. The pool was nice, but at night was crowded with many drunk people with their...

The room was musty, housekeeping never emptied the trash. We had to leave a day early due to an emergency, never asked for a refund of the night, and they still charged us an additional 45 dollars. I have no problem sacrificing amenities for location, but this was a bit much with the lazy housekeeping. It doesnt take much to... More

The Banana Bay Resort was dated. It needed some updating. The wallpaper on the walls was aged. We stayed there for one night while attending the seafood festival in Marathon. It was pricey for the conditions of the buildings. With a refurbishment, it would definitely do well. However, putting that aside, the room offered comfortable sleeping accomadations and the linens... More

We loved the location as our room overlooked the Marina. The hotel, however, may be on it's last legs. When we checked in, we had to sign an agreement as to the cost of the stay. They did not show the 'resort fee' of $7 per night nor did they raise it with us. That was left as a surprise... More

This place was OK. It's one of the more affordable places in town, was right next to a great dive shop. The rooms weren't great and do need to be updated, but the property is well maintained, the pool is huge and the marina had a nice BBQ area where we had dinner a couple of times. However, I'm not...
