We had a great experience at Banana Bay! The room was beautiful and clean, and we had a balcony, which was so great. The pool was large and great to swim in. Banana Bay is also very centrally located in Marathon, so it was easy and convenient to get around (including to Sombrero Beach, which is a quick 10 min bike ride or 3 minute car ride away). Concierge and staff were all so polite. All in all, a great experience!

Unfortunately, this place is not worth the value. The property could be great but just lacks the upkeep. The room was OK if you just need a place to sleep but don't expect good service on the rooms. Had to go to the front office to ask for clean towels as the room did not get cleaned for the 3 days we were there, Forget the breakfast, go to a good place. Their breakfast was not good as it was just a bunch of frozen breakfast sandwiches. We had to wait 45 minutes to get checked in as there was only one person at the front desk dealing with a group whose reservation was messed up. Last thing you wanted after travelling all day. It is really unfortunate to be charged so much money and get horrible value. I suppose having a place in the Key's somehow gives you the thought you can provide inferior accommodations. Next time, we will try something different. It is sad to see a place with such great potential be ruined by poor service and quality. Next time it will be a big no for us.

The room was neglected, we had to track down our own toilet paper and clean towels and take out our trash… the ice machine was down, the pool was dirty, the hot tub wasn’t working one day then covered in hornets the next. The day we were at the pool they blew leaves with a loud gas powered blower for hours all over the vehicles. The bikes that are available for the guest were broken, chains fell off and flat tire, the complementary breakfast was empty, there was zero information on the available amenities it was overall a poor experience to be called a resort was a joke, it was like staying in a motel and we were on our own.

Not having the accurate amount of how much it is to really stay here. There was hidden fees and they charge you to park there. The breakfast is not at all featured accurately on the website. There is no milk alternative it is left out breakfast sandwiches, cereal, smooched granola bars. No fresh fruit or eggs,. So if you are picking this lace according to the resort having free breakfast, . Go with out, but did it for two days and only went back for coffee, which had the same color but the taste forget it! The place is run by high school girls and the plus is the rooms are clean and nice. Never seen a yoga studio. Not found someone to see where the laundry facilities were. The charge you too for breakfast 11 dollars a day. Hidden fees. Expedia does not have accurate rates in the site and they do not send you full itinerary till days later and you find the real price when you arrive and are already on holiday.

Staff was courteous. Room could have used a folding luggage stand to put suitcase. Parking was an additional $254.45. Parking should have been included in the price of the room. Everyone who stays there needs a car since there is no dining room for lunch or dinner. A piece of fruit at the breakfast area would have been nice to add to the cereal or yogurt. The Tiki Bar bar had on the top - buy one, and the second one was half price. But then the said that only was for beer. Well then state that on the menu. It wasn't a full bar menu which was OK but they did list chardonnay. They only had a little left in the bottle so they charged a little less. It was only 7:30 in the evening and that's all they had? The pool was great.
