I was staying at the Banana 6 months ago and this time I did some research to see how prices are at other hotels and hostels but I have to say I couldn't find anything comparable. Other hotels were more expensive and for a private room with an own bathroom at a hostel - not a location as that good... More

I've stayed in this cosy hotel twice already,it's conveniently located at one end of the 5th Avenida, 5 mins' walk from the beach. The hotel provides beach towels and offers 50% discount for the Mamita's Beach Club, which in my opinion is the best part of the beach here in Playa del Carmen. The rooms are thouroghly cleaned daily, there's... More

This was a great value. The rooms are small but clean. The shower was great. The internet wasn't working in the rooms but downstairs. Breakfast was not included though there was a choice that I thought we took. Food was a little expensive, but there are tons of places all over town to eat. The staff was friendly and helpful...

My husband has always stayed at Hotel Banana when he comes to Playa del Carmen by himself, we stay at a friend's when we are together. The Hotel is small, clean and in a great location. My daughter and son-in-law were booked in there for a one night stay, which I payed for in cash, and for an unforseen reason,... More

We spent a night here before finding something long-term in Playa del Carmen. Though the price is reasonable for a few nights, there are cheaper places available of similar quality. The location, however, is great, the service was friendly and the place was clean. A good option for someone wanting to be close to beach, and the action of 5th... More

I loved staying here! The price is soo cheap, especially for the location, right on 5th Ave, the main street. Everything is accesible. A 3 minute walk to the beach. The rooms are super clean and have a balcony. There is a safe in the room. The beds are strong. The experience was wonderful. The staff is outstanding, especially the... More

I stayed there for more than 2 weeks. I like hotel and staff a lot. The staff is very friendly, hotel and rooms are clean. It's not very luxury but has everything you need and as you spend more time outside than in the hotel room it's definitely enough for you stay. Beds and pillows are very comfy. I like... More

We stayed here for three nights. It is a decent place and the people at the reception are nice. The room is decent and the location is good. For what we paid it is a good place to stay EXCEPT the issue about the maids. I do not think they understand what a do not disturb sign on the door... More

We enjoyed staying at the hotel Banana. It was very authentic and offered an excellent location right off 5th avenue. It wasnt quite as noisy on this end of 5th. Only a few blocks walk to Mamitas Beach club. You could enter the beach for free, chairs and umbrellas would cost. The hotel was in VERY close walking distance to... More
