Fodor's "This luxury-meets-adventure resort embodies much of Belize's character: cabañas with ragged crowns of thatch, wonderful staff, imperfect beaches, and exquisite water." Full review
Frommer's "Right on the shore and with thatch-roofed cabins, wood floors, bamboo beds, and large picture windows, this intimate boutique resort has a tropical feel" Full review

"Banana Beach Resort is a 62-room two-and-a-half-pearl property on the southern end of Ambergris Caye that’s seen better days." Full review
Fodor's "A throwback to days before pillow menus and baffling body scrubs, laid-back Banana Beach is a friendly, casual, though time-worn hotel that's much cheaper than some spots on the island." Full review
Lonely Planet "This place may be too motel-like for some tastes and could certainly do with some cosmetic work, but while it is not elegant, it's reasonable value considering the waterside location." Full review
