It was a great place to Stay, the service was second to none. The rooms were cleaned twice a day. Staff were amazing. The children loved the Kids club, which had soft play, cinema, Pool table, and many activities for all. The Spa was one of the best i have used, Oud Siganature Massage was wow! The restaurants on the island were ok 4-5/10. I did however, enjoy Al Nahham and Q lounge food. The downside is, if you have half or full board, you still have to pay for certain items on the menu with a discounted price and those items were the good items in my opinion. The swimming pool isn't big and nor is the kids pool area. The kids pool area is very small, 10-15 kids and it will be full. Overall i enjoyed the stay, the staff were amazing on the island from Yuni, Sachin the buggy drivers were all very freindly and caring.

Exceeded my expectations, the staff make the experience truly special. They were what made this trip so enjoyable and all members couldn’t do enough for you. The food at the property was very good, we tried a few things but not the Italian restaurant and everything we had we enjoyed. Resorts can be very hit and miss when it comes to food but this was good for a resort. Once the new adventure park is opened, the kids will enjoy this once even more. Special mention to Kay at the Indian restaurant, she took her time to explain things through and dealt with dietary requirements in her stride! Will definitely be looking to come back here.

It was like being in a slice of paradise. The views are beautiful and the sunset from the pool was amazing, almost like being in one of the holiday ads. A variety of food options however a little pricey and I was disappointed when not all the food on the menu was part of half board and an extra needed to paid but there still was a lot to choose from. Food was delicious. The staff are always happy to help in anyway and are really the pride of this island. I can not wait to return again!

The Banana Island Resort has ALL THE POTENTIAL to be a Paradise Island in these parts of the world. Staff service is A1, and always attentive to the guests needs. There is however lots of Areas for Improvement, e.g., Needs many more dining options, Alcohol consumption should be allowed, Construction and Maintenance activities should be better managed when guests, etc.

Beautiful Island. Picturesque. Clean and friendly staff. Niroshana and the other villa staff were Excellent. Niroshana went out of his way to make this trip memorable. The restaurant service/food were superior and very tasty. We were waited on hand and foot from the time we stepped onto the island, until when we left. They made every accommodation effortless and stress-free! We plan to come back in the next 3 months.

The room they gave us was not good, it has water dripping from the ceiling right inside of the bathroom door. Also the hanger inside the cupboard was falling down I couldn’t hang my clothes, and when I told the reception they didn’t do anything! Also I asked for late checkout upon arrival even if it was chargeable but they didn’t give us an answer until it was too late and they don’t know what to just they keep saying wait for us we will get back to you soon but they dudn’t! I had a birthday occasion they brought a wrong cake! Overall experience is very bad and disappointing! I went to resorts around the world, but this one definitely managed by bad management and worse staff!
