My husband and I needed a weekend getaway close to home. We spent 3 days at the Banana Bay motel recently and will definately go back! It exceeded our expectations. This quaint property has a lot of charm with great water views, a gorgeous tropical setting, heated pool, and a long fishing pier, great for fishing or watching a beautiful... More

I stayed at Banana Bay 2 nights last week while exploring Punta Gorda across the harbor for a possible relocation from VA. I could have stayed two weeks or even longer and been delighted! It's right across the bridge and right on the water with a 500-ft dock, fun, funky tropical grounds/decor and beautiful sunsets . I lived in FL... More

We spent one night at this amazing little motel that is truly a HIDDEN GEM! The setting is gorgeous...the grounds are reminiscent of "old Florida" ....and the sunset was spectacular. We will definitely return for an extended stay. This place is wonderful for a quick getaway from the hectic life of the big city. We enjoyed putt-putt next door and... More

I needed a couple day break from taking care of some family business in Venice and this was the perfect place. I wasn't sure what to expect because I found it on line and banana bay exceeded my expectations. I only booked 3 days but wished I could have stayed longer. It was very private, relaxing and the staff were... More

We found this adorable place on line and when I reserved I found out that my father had also reserved a room for us there! We enjoyed the dock, the pool and the neighboring mini-golf. Wish we had more time there!

Warm and friendly staff made us feel welcome. Loved having breakfast outside with a great view of the bay and pier. The weekly happy hour was a real treat. We stayed and watched the sunset with some other guests, and traded restaurant recommendations.

My husband and I just spent 3 days at Banana Bay in late January, 2012. I had no prior information about the place, but found it on the internet since we were looking at real estate between there and Fort Myers. While we did not spend a lot of time relaxing there, it was a fabulous home base. It was... More

Due to a great airfare deal, we ended up in the Punta Gorda area, but actually stayed the entire 3 days at Banana Bay Motel. There was no reason to leave this comfortable and charming property, except to buy food so we could pepare our meals on site (in the efficiency kitchen and especially on the outdoor grill). So many... More
