Beachfront Dining Delight

The Banana Beach Restaurant offers an amazing menu full of delicious food and refreshing smoothies. I loved sitting right on the beach while enjoying my breakfast every morning. The atmosphere is so vibrant, and it's truly a place where you can relax and soak in the tropical vibes. It was a wonderful way to kickstart my day!

Spacious and Private Bungalows

I stayed in a lovely bungalow with an outdoor kitchen that was perfect for making breakfast in the mornings. The bungalows are spacious and offer a lot of privacy, even allowing me to relax outside comfortably. It really made the experience feel like a home away from home during my stay.

Family-Friendly Fun!

The Coral Casita we stayed in was perfect for our family. The layout was great for our two young girls, allowing them to nap comfortably without disturbing each other! They also loved the pool, which was perfect for small children. We felt that it was a really engaging place for families.

Relaxing Poolside Retreat

After a long day on the beach, the infinity pool was a fantastic escape. It was peaceful and quiet, with the added bonus of a baby pool for kids. It was such a nice treat to chill by the pool while enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the lush landscape.

I had an unforgettable stay at Banana Beach Bungalows, which beautifully blends comfort with the essence of Costa Rican culture. The location right by the beach is fantastic, making it easy to relax by the sea or enjoy local entertainment.

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.
