“Banana Island Resort impressed me with its family focus, from the vibrant kids' water park to the supervised clubs. The overwater villas appear to deliver an unmatched sense of privacy and views. I'm particularly intrigued by the resort's dedication to wellness, incorporating local ingredients into spa treatments, though reports of slow service at the Indian restaurant give me pause.”

Decent Stay with Friendly Staff
breakfast buffet kids club bad weather no refund
The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options. The kids club was a bonus and kept my child entertained indoors. (The staff were attentive.) Buggies were easily accessible around the island. It was convenient to get around.
The weather was unfavorable . Several facilities were closed because of this. I had to return early, and I did not receive a refund for the unused portion of the day pass.
