Old fashioned and rustic rooms, but we expected that and enjoyed that the beach and restaurant were a few steps from our room. Very clean and staff all kind and helpful. Two tour kiosks next door to easily book excursions.

Great spot to explore West Bay. Rooms are basic but clean--just what you need if you plan to spend your time outside. Economical--free breakfast and beach recliners, rooms feel private while you have close access to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff, good food and great diving crew.

The people were wonderful. I was a bit concerned about safety before going given the travel warnings, but i never felt even a little unsafe. Dive shop folks were great also, laid back diving. Restaurant was friendly, food was good, though selection was a bit limited. Overall I had a very nice stay.

Staff are friendly and the location is the best. We loved the rustic wooden building set in the jungle like palm trees. Everything we needed including foot wash stations and mini fridge.
Great included breakfast!

We came here for the diving and left with a love for west bay. The property is casual and clean with beach access and a great restaurant. Easy access to water taxi for a 5 dollar ride to west end. No TV in the room, but thats OK for us as we spent time outside enjoying the sunsets. We will be back

Pros- Felt safe with security. Daily housekeeping. Dive shop was good. Right on the beach.
Cons- Room very dated, mattress lumpy. Old septic system so no toilet paper. Very weak water pressure in shower.
Overall for the price i would stay somewhere else.

This was our first time to Roatan and after reading tons reviews we settled on Banarama. We were so happy we did we loved everything! We barely wore shoes of any kind all week we were so close to the beach it was amazing. The breakfast was super great, the bar was fun, pizza was incredible and everything we ate from the cook was delicious and perfect. I would describe it as “lodgey”. The room was
Small but clean and cleaned everyday. The fridge was super cold and having the fresh water and sink and microwave and coffee pot in our room was
Awesome. Walking distance to several little stores and coffee shops and tons on restaurants up and down the beach. The water was crystal clear and we saw tons of starfish in the water right out front of the resort. We will definitely be back!
