Banana Beach Hotel was amazing! The bungalows are clean and comfortable . The hotel is busy and very lively!!! If you are looking for quiet this is not the place for you!!! I took my 19 year old daughter for 5 days and we had the absolute best time!!! I can’t wait to take the rest of my family back! One important note- Santa Teresa is NOT easy to get to from San Jose or Liberia. We drove ourselves from Liberia and it was a 4 hour adventure .

This is a great location for walking to several different restaurants. The restaurant in front of hotel has lounge chairs which are a great option for lounging during the day. Service is hit or miss. Our drinks weren’t great but the fries and fried bread were. Loud music into the evening and a young fun party atmosphere. The seating area outside the room always had dust from the termites and ants. And the outside area needed a fan as there was no air movement. Soap and shampoo were supplied which was nice. Parking was spacious. Aircon worked and room stayed cool when out. Spotty internet.

Amazing spot, private and beautiful. Loved the outdoor kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. Pool was very nice. Restaurant was decent. Incredibly helpful at reception. Very friendly. The only thing we didn’t love was the very loud music they played on Wednesday and Saturday nights. As we have a toddler.

This is an excellent location for Surfers looking for a good wave but there isn't great swimming in front of this property rough and rocky. The beachfront restaurant and bar are available for anyone to use which was cool. We loved the patio and hammock with each room. Be sure to use the kitchen locks as raccoons are busy. Great reception but often not there. Excellent food at the restaurant at the beach. Best hummus ever!

Awesome location and amazing restaurant
We had a lovely stay at banana Beach. It was a bit loud in the evenings with the music from the restaurant but they did turn it down relatively early. Our bungalow sweet, a bit basic but had everything we needed. Excellent location in terms of proximity to the beach and town. The highlight was the accessibility to the restaurant right on the beach with a little playground for the kids and lovely food

I stayed at Banana Beach Bungalow with 2 friends and our 2 labs. It was perfect! We stayed in Casita Linda with 2 rooms: comfortable beds with nice bedding; comfortable, clean, modern bathroom with excellent water pressure, hot water, storage space; good air conditioning. We augmented the outdoor kitchenette with pans and my kitchen tools I never travel without when cooking and we prepared delicious meals we enjoyed in our patio and garden. Great stores to buy food nearby. The cooktop was very hot, the refrigerator held a lot, and good water pressure in the sink. In Tico style, cold water only. Our garden was completely enclosed by a 5-foot fence, so our dogs could run free, only in the two larger casitas, although all were private. Our garden, as well as all of the grounds, were beautifully landscaped. I felt like I was in a Rousseau painting the whole time there. The beach, while too rough for swimming, was beautiful. The double beach lounges were comfortable, and you could choose sun or shade. Also a huge variety of seating, including tables and chairs. The entire drink and food menu available everywhere at the beach. Our dogs loved running free on the beach and even did a little swimming. After relaxing at the beach, we hit the pool, which also had beautiful landscaping. Even our dogs were allowed in the pool, aided by the beach access. With that, we were completely in love with BBB! Very refreshing! Staff was friendly, restaurant very good.

Very disappointed
The place could be amazing only if it was taken care of. There is trash everywhere, the bungalows are dirty and run down (we had to move because the roof of our bungalow had a leak - right on the bed), daily cleaning is the most ineffective cleaning you can do. The location is perfect though, lots of great little restaurants super close (would NOT recommend the one at the hotel - feels as dirty as the hotel).

This place is a grate accomodation. The room is cozy, clean, with a beautiful arquitecture. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place has a restaurant, they cook very good, but the prices are a little hi and they dont give room service. You will love the crabs around your boungalow. Just in front the hotel´s entrance you will find a restaurant and a grocery store from israeli people, but they open until 10 am. In a walking distance you will find a supermarket if you want to buy food to prepare by yourself. The room has a kitchen outside, wich is a great idea, so you can see the crabs a nature while your eating. Highly recommended.

Bugs Everywhere
We won’t be staying here again. It’s not what one would expect for $225/night. When we arrived there was a trail of ants into our room. We found a dead spider under the sheets and even after they changed the sheets I was still bitten by a spider after taking a nap in the bed. The “clean” sheets had a blood mark. The rooms in general are much more weathered than the photos look. The setting is cool, on the beach with a lot of vegetation around to give it a jungle feel but there appears to be no form of pest/insect control. There were constantly mosquitoes in the room even though we never left the door open. The beach restaurant has decent food and a fun vibe but it’s loud music goes on late into the night making it difficult to sleep since the room had so many cracks in the walls/doors/windows. The location on the strip is decent though. They rent surf boards but the beach is rough in front of the property, we had better luck surfing at hermosa. The water was turned off one morning unannounced to ya so we couldn’t shower in the morning. The kitchenette is outside the room. Mold in the shower. The hot water would only get luke warm and wouldn’t last long. Given the price of this place, I’d rather have stayed in a hostel and gotten the same quality...
