I had an amazing stay at the Banana Beach Bungalow that felt like my own little paradise. The outdoor kitchenette was perfect for cooking and enjoying meals in the garden. The location right by the beach is stunning, but the nightlife can be lively, which may not suit everyone. Overall, it's a great value for a relaxed beach getaway with lovely amenities.

The room we stayed in, Casita Linda, was modern, clean, and very comfortable. The beds were cozy, and the bathroom had excellent water pressure. The only area for improvement is that it would be nice to have more than one towel per four people.

We had an incredible stay at Banana Beach! The bungalows are beautifully designed and offer a unique experience with outdoor living spaces. The beach is just a short walk away, and the restaurant on site serves delicious food while providing a great atmosphere during sunset. The only downside was the lack of a dining table in some bungalows, which may not be ideal for dining together comfortably. Overall, it felt like a slice of paradise, and we can't wait to return.
