Banana Bay Resort Marathon offers comfortable rooms with waterfront views, but falls short of expectations due to inconsistent amenities and advertised features. While the location and rooms themselves are generally pleasant, significant issues with the bar, pool, and overall upkeep detract from the guest experience. Many guests report discrepancies between the advertised offerings and the reality of the resort.
????? The rooms were clean, spacious, and by far the best part of our stay. The waterfront views were beautiful, and the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, several advertised amenities did not live up to expectations. Breakfast consisted mainly of cereal, prepackaged muffins, Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits, and yogurt that was out of date. The resort also advertised a bar and karaoke, but the bar was only open for a short time. While there, the bartender was occupied with a personal phone conversation that included profanity, and when we returned after dinner around 8 PM, the bar was already closed. The pool also closed at 8 PM, which seemed unusually early for a resort property. Overall, the rooms and location were great, but the amenities and guest experience fell short of what was advertised.
I honestly dont like to give bad reviews but this hotel was a huge disappointment. I really researched this place through their IG page, and Expedia page and the way they promote this resort is NOTHING compared to how it looks on social media. First and foremost we stayed for 1 night with me and my family and it was OVERLY priced. We booked this resort with the expectation of the bar being inside, the pool, tennis court and the "free breakfast". The resort itself was dirty. Tennis court was dirty. And the bar was closed. The breakfast was the most disappointing as it was PACKED SANDWICHES from the gas station across the street. Sunday morning we saw a cockroach in the bathroom. However, there's a bar close by that was actually walking distance and was open till 4AM which we had a good time. But other than that this place does not look like anything at all from their social media, website, or Expedia.
A nice place to stay but getting them on the phone can be difficult sometimes. Our room was nice, the facility was quiet and we would definitely stay again. The biggest improvement I would recommend would be better grounds keeping (mowing, debris, weeds etc). PS The pool and hot tub were nice!
We spent 40 minutes listing to ai when we booked. It said beach,bar, entertainment and clean rooms. We got to Banana Bay and the front desk told us the restaurant was a couple years gone and ai had not cought up yet. Asked about the beach she didn't know about that either. Wife not happy. We got the the room and it smelled very moldy. We went out to the truck and came back to see a couple roaches in the bed and left. The web, ai and the front desk are all untruthful. when we went to leave we had to wait behind another unhappy person. I would not recommend this place..
Good value hotel, we arrived on a Sunday for an overnight stop. Rooms great, staff very helpful and pleasant, and Carmen was excellent in her Service at Breakfast on our early departure. The only downside I can think of was the beachside bar hours were very limited.
Wonderful stay. The rooms were beautiful and clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and plenty of food choices either side of the hotel. Carmen was so helpful with our cycling group getting coffee before our 50 mile ride ahead of us.
We visited here for 16 days. Our room was comfortable, nice view of the marina. Very nice pool area, the staff here were friendly And our housekeeping people were incredible , Friendly, efficient and kept our room super clean and made sure we had everything we needed.
WiFi is non existent. You’re charged a resort fee and a parking fee which is a joke. It’s not a resort. We ended up going somewhere for breakfast every morning as the breakfast offered was dismal. Water pressure was also non existent. They say the room we stayed in 326 is a marina/water view we had a huge tree blocking the view so we had a tree view. The room is large, there’s an ice bucket but no ice machine. Also our reservation said you were given 2 bottles of water a day, there was none of that either. Would we recommend or book again, absolutely not.
HONEST REVIEW To start, this is not a resort. More like a motel. They have cockroaches! The rooms are updated, and look clean but we saw numerous cockroaches both in our room and on the counter by the ice machine. The beds are pretty terrible and uncomfortable. The "gourmet breakfast" consisted of pre frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, plain Greek yogurt that tasted like sour cream, and cereal cups. That's it? Every day for the 5 days I was there, it was the same sad breakfast. The pool and hot tub were nice and warm, but not very clean. It was also extremely frustrating to learn that the pool and hot tub close at dark which was 6:30 during our trip, when the website said 8. We didn't get to use it like we would have because we were out enjoying the island while the sun was up. Who doesn't want to use the pool and hot tub after a long day? Another frustration was that the tennis and pickleball courts were not lit up either, so they couldn't be used after dark or in the evening when it's cool enough to play. The grounds are in poor repair and definitely need maintenance and cleaning. At checkout, they over charged me by $200. I had prepaid and they tried to say it was fees and taxes that aren't included when I booked on their website. They did give me a refund after I showed them my prepaid invoice that stated that it included taxes and fees, but how many people have they ripped off? Now for the positive. The front desk girls were all very sweet and helpful. The house keeping crew did a great job at providing fresh towels and tidying the room. I really wish that I had more positive feedback. Especially with how nice the website makes the place looks. I don't think I'll be ever coming back unfortunately.
We stayed for a fishing tournament and we had the pleasure of staying here. The rooms were nice and cold. We actually needed more blankets and they were able to give us more. We had a wonderful time with family!
