Great location, good party atmosphere, met some really nice people here but- and it's a big but- we found some of the staff really let this place down. They were unfriendly (at worst rude), cliquey, and un professional. They made us feel really un welcome and like we had come to stay in their house as un invited guests. This... More

I've been travelling for a while now and this place is still one of the best places I've ever been. The crew was amazing, the people working there work to create a great vib and make everyone feel welcome.

Only reason for... More

I had to change my travel plans and cancelled my room at Banana Bungalow noting that I had purchased trip insurance. Within an hour of my reservation they charged my credit card additional $20.00 When I called them about more charges put on... More

A realy bad college atmosphere! The... More
