Hotel Banana Azul - Adults Only

A great hotel, nearby convenience store is very handy, the restaurant onsite serves really good food, being a solo traveler it was great that I didn’t need to leave the property. Beach is lovely and hotel has sunbeds and towels. Bike hire is $9 for the day, great to get around. Room was cleaned daily, my only disappointment was the curtains don’t cover the window…. I was in Tropical 10, I recommend ear plugs for the slight outside noise for this particular room but was fine once they were in. All round I had a great experience and would book again.

Absolutely love this hotel. This was my 2nd time staying here and it was perfect, A delicious breakfast, spacious covered balcony, steps to the beach. incredible birds and howler monkeys to wake up to… and walking distance along the beautiful beach to Puerto Viejo.

I wanted to have high hopes for this property but was left disappointed. I will say, The property is pretty, clean and they do offer fun activities/ menu changes and nice live music while you enjoy dinner /beverages. The beach access is also very beautiful. The staff is friendly but we found that they were inattentive, and forgetful. The first room we had, smelled so heavy of chlorine it irritated my skin. The outside lights on the deck shined all night through the curtains directly into our bedroom and you couldn’t turn them off. This made it almost impossible to sleep as well as The fan remote stopped working. The ceiling fan is the only source of cooling in the room. After texting and waiting for a response for new batteries, my husband had to go down to the front desk in the middle of the night. The Security officer assisted. There was also a bird living in the outside corner that moved/pecked all night long. My husband had upgraded to a frog suite the next night. It was very pretty but again the whole night long a non stop knocking came from the upstairs room deck which left me with another sleepless night.

It’s a wonderful property with beautiful green lush gardens on the beach. The positive energy in this hotel is not something you can buy and they have it. It’s very relaxing and fun place to be. Will gladly go back again. Breakfast was delicious and with many options and the room we stayed as was very comfortable. Not all rooms are the same so just check that it’s a good choice for you before booking.

Loved our stay here! It was the last night of our trip and wish we had stayed here longer!
