At Hotel Banana Azul - Adults Only, travellers praise the lush beachfront setting, friendly staff, and on-site dining, while recurring comments note small facilities, variable room comfort without widespread air-conditioning, patchy Wi‑Fi, noise, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses.

Several reviews also clarify the property is not strictly adults-only in shared areas, with children present at the restaurant, pool, and beach. Guests highlight tropical gardens and wildlife, but some experienced slow restaurant service and occasional check-in or communication issues. Expect a rustic, scenic beach stay where room choice matters.

The hotel was pretty good, my room was ‘cute’. I would stay there again but would also be happy to check out other options. I loved being right on the beach. However, the pool was small and literally right at the restaurant so it was hard to relax and enjoy the pool. The front desk staff were great but a couple of the wait staff could use a little improvement. The food was decent but really large portions. It is also an easy 10-15 minute bike ride into Puerto Viejo

The property has a guard that is there in the evening and helped us get on our way with fresh fruit and banana bread the kitchen prepared for us for our early departure at 5 am! Was close to Puerto Viejo’s busy area but nice to be away from the hustle of that. Enjoyed being able to retire to a quiet space with a restaurant that included breakfast and options for lunch and dinner too!

This laid back beach resort is ideal for 'get away from it all' holiday makers. The fabulous black sand beach is just at the end of the well maintained gardens. and it stretches for miles. The room we stayed in was slightly small. (as was the pool) - but Air con worked great and we needed it. Shower was powerful. I'd go for the larger suite next time. Try the tenderloin steak - one of the best I've had. Cocktails to die for. - and service was excellent.

Amazing stay. I traveled with 2 other young women (ages 21,21,20) and we felt incredibly safe the entire time. We ended up staying in the banana house, which is actually a seperate villa across a little road from the main part of the hotel, however it was gated, and this gate could be locked. The apartment itself was also gorgeous. The property is one of the few at this price range with a connecting beach, being on playa negra. It is around a 5 minute ride (15 minute walk) from puerto viejo city center. There is a market at the hotel that sells groceries and cheaper lunch meals. Furthermore down the street there is a soda (which is a “hometown” restaurant in costa rica) which offers cheaper food as puerto viejo and costa rica is a bit expensive. Included breakfast is AMAZING. You have multiple options plus included coffee and a daily juice. We will be back!! Not to mention the staff is amazing, particularly Diana was very helpful. This place is truly a gem and I would recommend it 10x over.

First, we have visited Banana Azul multiple times and enjoyed our previous stays. This visit we stayed 5-nights in Villa 1 and were very disappointed in the room. The downstairs and porch ceiling fans did not work and after reporting the issue multiple times, no one arrived to ever take a look. This made the downstairs unusable because of the heat. The exterior door is a security issue and does not lock properly to the outside world. Staff said they would "grease the door" but no one arrive to repair. There is a extreme heat source radiating from the kitchen floor that is hot to the touch and foul smells from the kitchen sink. Again, we reported the issues with no response. If you're looking to cook, look elsewhere. There is an electric stove but zero pans or cooking tools in the villa. Our neighbor in the next villa stepped on a deck plank that broke through and was injured in the fall; he was offered a bottle of wine for the injury. There were also balls of hair around the outdoor shower. The property has changed since our last visit and we won't be retuning.

The hotel was definitely not what I expected. The room was very small with a king bed and a twin close by. This made it very difficult to navigate the room. I booked for 3 people. There is no closet space in the room which means our bags also had to be on the floor next to the beds. Due to the rain, the room was very moist and that made our towels smell like mildew. I asked to switch the towels and the house keeper only switched out one. Lastly, the staff in the breakfast area was really friendly and the food was pretty good. Oh and I forgot to mention, this hotel is not adult only. There were children on the resort, eating in the breakfast area, etc. They were well behaved, but one of the reasons why I chose this hotel was because it was advertised as Adult only.

I’ve debated whether to review this property but decided it might help others. I booked it because it is right on the beach and those places are scarce in CR. And that was great. Steps to a beach with chairs and loungers and service from the hotel for drinks and food. The restaurant was good and the people were generally nice. I got a massage and it was great. But the room was awful. I was in red frog. It was dank and dark and smelled musty, towels sometimes smelled mildewy. I chose an air conditioned room on purpose thinking it would mean a well-sealed room without mosquitos - and AC. But there were gaps under doors so mosquitos could get in. There was a hole in a window pane that they covered after i asked them to - they hadn’t noticed it. There was a mosquito net but it was open down one side so sorta useless. The bathroom was not included in the a/c. The room was right next to road with very noisy truck traffic. There was apparently a sewer issue because there was sometimes a terrible smell. I spent the first evening looking for other places to stay but sucked it up because I was so happy about the beach and would spend little time in the room anyway. Just be aware that the place isn’t as nice as the photos imply - it’s like a musty lake cabin.

The room was open air with lots of bugs! The net over the bed was a joke, it would have made it impossible to sleep and would have covered the head of maybe one person ! The bathroom is open air along the top 18 inches to the main staircase 😳! The holler suite was very rustic with no place to put our suitcases, we had to keep them on the patio closed up! Our view and patio was very nice. The room very very very small with no way to keep mosquitoes out! Location was good staff was nice

We were genuinely sad we only had one night to stay at Banana Azul! Check in was quick and efficient and friendly. The fresh coconut was a lovely treat. The Howler Suite was charming and the view magical. The food in the restaurant was delicious. I highly recommend Banana Azul if you want an authentic Costa Rica experience that’s right on the Playa Negra beach. I’ll definitely be returning.

Loved property itself and location/rooms "floorplans", but for the price, expect a few more things to work smoothly. For example, the outside door was broken, and when "fixed", became even more unusable - this was not fixed entire trip. The coffee is not in the room but outside - never enough, always cold, and impossible to pump. The door has no handle on inside and doesn't stay closed unless you lock. The pillows and mattress are old and worn out - had better in a budget hotel in CR. The mosquito net doesn't stay on/close, so purely decorative. The shower switch doesn't work so you have very little water coming from the top. The electricity goes out frequently, and with no power back up, the fan switches off - given no AC, it is quite uncomfortable to sleep at night and gets very hot. Finally, and worst offense (among others), the internet in the room NEVER worked - had to go outside to work or work in the lobby of hotel. Oh, and the outside lights were not possible to switch on/off - only staff could do it. One night it was pitch dark, I texted and even told one of the employees about it, but nothing was done until I asked again the next day. There were positive things (and many), but the issues above and then some, make you upset as for the daily price charged, especially for the area, I expect far better.

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.

Overall hotel is comfortable, steps from the beach, convenient to shopping & dining. Front desk check in experience not good at all. Waited over an hour for room to be ready. Told previous guest had a late check-out and would let us know when ready. Waited in restaurant within view of desk repeatedly checking . More than an hour later checked again. There had been a change of staff and previous person did not inform the next staff person we were waiting, who then rushed through room and facilities instructions. Just happened to find out late into the second day we should have been offered a welcome drink and beach towels. Booked a basic room, which was smaller than expected, but adequate. (think beach bungalow) No TV as advertised. Ceiling fan, and portable floor fan, no air conditioning, but no AC was fine for us. Mattress uncomfortably soft for our taste, saggy in spots and one of the pillows had an unpleasant smell. The bathroom tile grouting could use cleaning. Other wise the housekeeping staff did a good job every day. Except for the check-in experience the staff was great, especially Maria Jose, Milena, Ketsi ,and Oscar. Would recommend as a budget conscious, quiet, easy going beach front, adult only hotel with good food, drinks and wonderful staff. Pura Vida.😊

The place itself is very nice with a lovely main area and garden. The service in general also was okay - sometimes a little absentminded , though. What really was pretty unpleasant was that a couple of things were not explained in the beginning, We were given only very reluctantly a hair drier, there was no mirror in the bath room and there were not able to organize one during 8 days, we were given dirty bed sheets and most annoyingly my credit card was charged with a reasonable amount after checkout without any explanation - there was no reaction to my inquiries , no reason given . Nothing! This kind of destroyed the whole experience.

It was an overall great stay. The beach is so close in comparison to huge resorts. The food is great but unfortunately the kitchen does close early. You need to find places to eat or stock up on snacks if it’s after 9:00. The staff is great!!!!! Make sure to check if your room has air conditioning. Ours did not have one but our stay was in October which is considered their winter. It rained at night which helped keep the room cool. I can’t imagine staying there without an air conditioner in the summer time. It would truly be miserable. Other than that it is a great place with a wonderful staff! I will definitely go back.

Great location right on the beach. Not Adults only! They were many young children during our stay which was a bit disappointing. Prices also seemed a bit high for food and drinks for what you got. We were better off eating out. Overall a nice stay a great beach.

Amazing stay. I traveled with 2 other young women (ages 21,21,20) and we felt incredibly safe the entire time. We ended up staying in the banana house, which is actually a seperate villa across a little road from the main part of the hotel, however it was gated, and this gate could be locked. The apartment itself was also gorgeous. The property is one of the few at this price range with a connecting beach, being on playa negra. It is around a 5 minute ride (15 minute walk) from puerto viejo city center. There is a market at the hotel that sells groceries and cheaper lunch meals. Furthermore down the street there is a soda (which is a “hometown” restaurant in costa rica) which offers cheaper food as puerto viejo and costa rica is a bit expensive. Included breakfast is AMAZING. You have multiple options plus included coffee and a daily juice. We will be back!! Not to mention the staff is amazing, particularly Diana was very helpful. This place is truly a gem and I would recommend it 10x over.

The hotel was conveniently located close to a beautiful, private beach. The staff was friendly but dining staff was very very slow. Wifi is very weak here. Nice rooms but without air conditioning. Make sure to bring earplugs for the road noise and birds.
