Banana Beach Bungalows

The location is great, the room was beautiful, the service was fantastic

This is not a relaxing hotel, but instead a loud party hostel with budget facilities: Music noise - the Banana Beach Club plays very loud music from the afternoon to 10pm which vibrates throughout the room. We were also woken up several times in the early by parties on the beach. You will get very limited sleep staying here. Pool - Most days non-guests use the pool, including loud and rude kids, and on one occasion a kid forced their dog into the pool. Generally it is very dated and very little care is taken in tidiness. Noise from the generators next to pool is constant. Reception - no fixed reception service as a hotel would typically have - one person is available at a “reception” kiosk room between 9am and 4pm. Any assistance needed outside these hours is made via WhatsApp so is not instant. Also we had a power cut for water and electricity on our second day, so could not receive updates as the WiFi was unavailable. Restaurant - the restaurant and hotel are completely separate, apart from the breakfast being complementary for guests, and this is unclear from the website as we only found out upon arrival. This means guests can’t freely use the beach loungers or set up a room tab for food/drinks. No explanation of breakfast, timings - got there at 7am only to be told it starts at 8am so we missed this several times from leaving early for tours/transfer etc. Room - No kettle, coffee machine but no powdered milk/crema. Fridge outside (not in room) and doesn’t open properly as gets caught by the cupboard door latch - kitchen light very dim so difficult to see. Only one bedside table so had to leave belongings on the floor. No clothes hangers or even hooks.

Everything was pegect on’y the beds frame was so noisy it s a little outdated foe this rhey really need to impove that but staff was nive location beautiful beach c’ub the best and over all love ir

Please don’t book here, turtles come to lay their eggs in the sand and they put chairs and tables killing them, they don’t care turtles just Money . Arab owners only care about making money and don't care about the animals. Don’t book here, help Costa Rica preserve wildlife 🙏🏻

Had an amazing stay at Banana Beach Resort in Santa Teresa! Stunning location, luxurious accommodations, and top-notch service. The team went above and beyond to ensure a perfect, unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! Great location!

Stayed in low season when most of the hotel facilities were still closed, so sadly haven't had a chance to fully experience the property. Room was very spacious though and clean.
