I had a wonderful day trip experience to the resort, enjoying the beautiful island and generous dining options. While there were some initial hiccups with food availability and staff initiative, the overall atmosphere and activities made it enjoyable. The staff were friendly, but there's room for improvement in operations during busy times.

The resort is situated on a stunning island with a great atmosphere, but it can get very busy with day guests during weekends, which can dampen the serene experience.
Dining

I had high hopes for Banana Island, given its reputation as a luxury resort, but it fell short of my expectations. The amenities are fantastic for families, and the service was decent, though not quite up to par with other high-end places I've visited. The major downside was the noise levels in the rooms and the overcrowding due to day guests, which took away from the experience. Overall, it's a mixed bag-great for kids and activities, but lacking the exclusivity and luxury I was hoping for.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms are spacious and clean with a lovely sea view, though the lack of soundproofing was a disappointment.
Service

The staff was generally friendly, with a few standout individuals; however, some seemed undertrained and not very helpful.
Location

The location is stunning and provides a great escape from the busy city, but the inclusion of day guests diminished the secluded feel.
Dining

Dining options were good, especially breakfast, but they tended to be quite pricey for the portion sizes.
Facilities

The facilities include a great kids' club and pool, but many activities come with a hefty fee that feels unnecessary.

I had an incredible family vacation at Banana Island Resort. The beach was beautiful, and the kids' clubs kept my little ones entertained all day. The staff was attentive and helpful, particularly during our check-in and throughout our meals. However, I wish there was a bit more variety in the dining options, especially for breakfast. Overall, the resort offers a fantastic experience for families, and I can't wait to return!

I had a wonderful weekend at Banana Island that was both relaxing and enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful, and the activities were plenty, especially the beach time and the delicious buffet. However, on my second visit, I noticed a decline in quality in terms of the villas and dining experience. Although the staff made the stay pleasant, some amenities could use improvement.
