I spent 2 days at the Boutique Hotel Banana. since I had never been to Playa Del Carmen, I had some difficulty finding the place, but Roberto, (the owner I assume) gave directions that were very good. I was pleasantly suprised to find the hotel sat at the beginning of the "stirp" where all the action takes place in the... more

This hotel was a big let down after looking at their somewhat misleading website. Its not by the beach and the 'pool' (if you could call it that) is like a child's paddling pool. The rooms are tiny and smell of damp, we were promised a superior deluxe room and on arrival were offered a standard one opening out on... more

I was very disappointed with my experience at this hotel and stayed for just one night instead of five. The hotel manager Roberto was very defensive over a misunderstanding that we were expecting a super-deluxe room instead of standard. The swimming pool is barely a pond, the hotel is not overlooking the beach as the website would lead you to... more

DEAL We booked this hotel in a heartbeat after finding a stellar deal on cancun-dot-com for approximately $34 a night, in low season, following the swine flu hype. I would pay more with no hesitation. I felt guilty for paying that amount after our arrival, for the price was well below half the price of the normal rates that time... more

We stayed at the Fiesta Banana for 2 nights. I enjoyed the stay. The hotel and the room were clean and the staff were friendly. I liked where it was located, on the end of the 5th avenue. We had a room facing the street and there was quite some noise during the night, especially coming from the Italian restaurant... more

We stayed at Aventura Mexicana 5 nights previous to our stay at Fiesta Banana. It's about 4 blocks away and similarly priced. The difference was astounding. Fiesta Banana is in a decent location for beach time, located at the end of the famous 5th Avenue. The room however, was pretty bad. You have to use a special key to access... more

Stayed at Banana for eight nights. Greart room with balcony looking down to water. Five minute walk to beach club and with 50 % discount, two chairs were 20 pecsos. Fifteen minute walk to Mega or Walmart to shop for food. If you are a light sleeper, ask for room in rear. New restuarant opened 11/29 where they used to... more

We (adult couple and 5 yo son) only needed an inexpensive place for 4 nights as we were attending a wedding in Playa del Carmen then moving on for a weeks stay at an AI in Playacar. I surfed all around, finding prices from $30/night up to $200/night. Proximity to the beach was not important for us but we needed... more

My husband, 6 yr old, 8 yr old and I stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in August 2008. We loved this hotel! We picked it based on its close proximity to the better north part of the beach in Playa. We were very pleased with our room #207 when we arrived. It was clean, roomy and had a... more

Made my reservation directly with Fiesta Banana over email since that was the only way through their website. They replied via email asking for CC number to secure deposit. I was a bit hesitant, but this is Mexico, not exactly the most high tech of countries, so I went ahead and sent it. No problems here. The hotel is exactly... more
