Banana Bay Boracay Reviews

I stayed in a pool access room with a bathtub, and the room was clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. The view from the room was beautiful, and i really enjoyed spending time on the balcony. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. They were happy to bring drinks to our balcony, helped my friend with restaurant reservations, and the front desk responded quickly whenever we needed assistance. The food was also delicious. Unfortunately, my experience changed on the third day. A large group of local guests had booked several rooms, and from 6 a.m. they were talking loudly across their balconies, shouting in the pool, and playing music on a speaker at a very high volume in the public areas. Since my balcony faced the pool, many people were constantly walking right past my room, which made it feel much less private and relaxing. I informed the staff, and although they did their best to help, it took some time for the situation to calm down. That was the only disappointing part of our stay. Overall, this is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff and comfortable rooms. If you prefer a quieter area away from the crowds of White Beach, this side of the island is a great choice.

The hotel left a very pleasant impression. I'd like to highlight its key advantages, which made our stay comfortable and delicious. Pros (things that really impressed us): 1. Location: The hotel is in a very convenient location. What's also valuable is the peace and quiet. It's not as crowded as Station 1 or 2, but all amenities are easily accessible. 2. Room: We had a wonderful room with direct access to the pool. This is a huge plus: you can jump right in the water in the morning or sit by your mini-terrace in the evening. The room is clean and comfortable. 3. Staff: A special thank you to the hotel staff. They are very kind, conscientious, and do their job well. All requests were resolved quickly, with a smile and a genuine desire to help. You can feel their genuine care for their guests. 4. Cuisine/Breakfast: Breakfast was included in the price and was a real highlight of the morning. Very tasty, filling, and varied. But the biggest discovery was the vegetarian breakfast. It was so delicious and filling that I ordered only that for the last few days of my stay. A major drawback / Beware (personal experience): Be careful when leaving the hotel grounds. There are tour vendors (excursion vendors) standing near the hotel. Unfortunately, they're not very reliable. We encountered them actively pushing services, and then they might change the terms after the deal. I recommend either booking excursions in advance at trusted locations or ignoring the guys at the entrance to avoid ruining your mood. Bottom Line: Banana Bay Boracay is a real find. It offers the perfect balance of price, quality, peace and home comfort. The amazing staff and hearty vegetarian breakfasts made our stay almost perfect. I'd return without a second thought, but I'll be giving the vendors at the entrance a wide berth.

Quite nice place with walking distance to the stations and at the calmer side of Boracay with a lot of water sport activities to offer

I had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel in Boracay and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone – but especially to kite surfers! The location is simply unbeatable. The hotel is situated right on Bulabog Beach, which is the main kitesurfing spot on the island. Being able to walk out of the hotel and straight onto the beach, with all the kites in the sky and the wind conditions perfect for riding, was a dream come true. If you’re into kitesurfing, you really couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. What made the experience even more special was the staff. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, I felt genuinely taken care of. Their positive attitude and attention to detail made a huge difference. The room was spotless – super clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. It was clear that the hotel takes cleanliness seriously, which I really appreciated. After a long day on the water, it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. And I can’t forget about the breakfasts – they were absolutely delicious! Fresh, tasty, and a great way to start the day before heading out to the beach again. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Perfect location, fantastic staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and great food. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Boracay – especially kite surfing enthusiasts!

Cozy rooms, chill vibes, friendly staff, and a pool made for selfies. Banana Bay made Boracay feel like pure fun! 🌴💛

Excellent hotel, that’s right on the kite beach, surrounded by kite schools. The food is good and all the staff are very friendly and receptive. Highly recommend if you want to be away from the bustle of white sand beach and if you kite it’s ideal. Clean and modern.

Great Hotel, Mel is very friendly and helpful Highly recommend to stay here

The hotel was great and clean. Emman and jeno at the frontdesk was very accomodating and always ready to assist if you needed help with anything. Breakfast is not a buffet but some items at the menu does change which is awesome. This place is right infront of the beach where the watersports are at which is great for people who love to do water activities. This hotel doesnt have a gym for my gym goer friends but you can do water activities to burn all the calories! The crispy shredded adobo with poach egg in the menu is a must try! This hotel also offers massage services at your room aswell. Very accessible and walkable to Dmall. Still part of station 2. You can borrow umbrellas and towels to the beach from this hotel which makes it even more convenient. All in all it was great.

Banana Bay is located on Bulabog beach, which is a fantastic beach itself and much less touristy than White beach (at least in April). The staff are incredibly friendly. The rooms are beautiful, tidy, and clean. The Wi-Fi works perfectly. I would definitely recommend this hotel! The associated bar calls last orders at 9:30 PM and closes at 10:00 PM, which felt a bit early for a holiday spot. However, this seemed to be the case at several places. The nightlife is around White beach (which wasn't why we came) and it's lively there until later.

All staff are nice.

I deeply regret staying here… The hotel I stayed at for the first three days was excellent, but I wanted to try something different, and coming to Banana Bay turned out to be a huge disappointment. First, on the day we checked in, after a full day out, we returned to find water leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom, with unknown liquid everywhere. When we reported it to the front desk, they said they'd upgrade our room, but they ended up moving us to a ground-floor room of the same type… It was very damp and had a strange musty smell. The most frustrating part was that no staff came to help us move our belongings; we had to do it all ourselves. Secondly, the room had no phone, no slippers, and was missing various other amenities. The worst part was that we paid a 2000 PHP deposit when we checked in, but they didn't proactively refund us when we left. We were halfway gone when we remembered and had to go back to demand our refund.

Banana Beach Our favorite hotel in Boracay! Our stay here was more than perfect. The hotel is quiet, charming, and incredibly relaxing. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a day out. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always willing to help. They provided us with a map of the island and assisted us in booking tours and activities, which made everything so much easier. Breakfast isn’t a buffet, but they offer a menu with a variety of delicious options to choose from every day—we loved it! The area is very peaceful, and at night it’s perfect for a relaxing walk. We truly loved our stay at Banana Beach and would definitely come back again!

Highly recommended! Great breakfast, friendly staff, 100% worth the money with high quality stays.

Stayed there for 4 nights with my partner, the location was nice and quiet but only 8 minute walk to the main beach area. The staff were great and attentive and the food was brilliant. Fantastic place to stay and i will definitely be back.
