Activities
We were in the "Standard Double Room, Ocean View, Beachfront" with 1 king bed (shaped like an octagon, above the ice cream shop, nearest to the ocean).
Cons:
- Water pressure and heat were terrible in the shower. Only a trickle during some parts of the day, and only hot during specific times. (I'll post a video if this review allows it.)
- No Deck/patio space, as advertised.
- Breakfast was a choice of 6 portion-specific meals, without substitutions. Breakfast coffee and fixings were ignored daily and not stocked.
- Staff generally throughout Roatan are very slow. At Bananarama this was definitely the case, regardless of if the bar/restaurant were very slow- or busy. Attention to customers and speed of bartenders and wait-staff, was poor.
- Coffee-maker in-room, but no coffee supplies.
- Rare evening entertainment (as advertised).
- No gift shop (as advertised).
- Housekeeping walked right into our room one day without knocking, while we were inside.
- Front desk was a bit unorganized. For example they couldn't organize our heavy luggage being picked up at a resort around the corner (when we were switching resorts, to theirs), even though we asked the day before- and then again at check-in. They also couldn't find a second room key, until I pushed, and even then they didn't deliver it- I had to go inquire again. We also asked they call us a taxi, and they called a shuttle van- which charges twice as much.
Items that would be beneficial to add:
- No TV in our room.
- No phone in our room, even to contact Front Desk.
- No lamp in our room, and they weren't able to bring one when I left a note requesting. Only a bright, overhead light right above the bed, which didn't reach the corners of the rooms, which were dark.
- No pool on-site.
- People smoked wherever they wanted.
- Boat anchor area/taxi pickup right in front of resort. Not safe for swimming.
Pros:
- Drink prices are reasonable (for the area), especially as compared to Paradise Beach Resort next door.
- Food is generally good.
- Daily drink and meal 'happy hours' are good (~3pm-6pm).
- Snorkeling tours, etc. will price-match- so shop around.
- Great location. - via
