Great place to visit for families with kids. The food was excellent and the facilities are nice. The biggest drawback was the staff - although they were friendly, they were poorly trained and didn’t know how to execute in a properly 5 star setting.

It's late March 2025 and we have just returned from 8 nights on Banana Island (a couple aged 55 and 62), and enjoyed it immensely. We knew beforehand that it was during the month of Ramadan so not all facilities would be open - some of the restaurant options on the island were closed and most you needed to eat inside. On mainland the shops in the malls were all closed during the days but you could wander through them. This had the advantages of it being a bit quieter and we got 2 nights free! The temperature (mid to high 20s) was perfect for us and the pool/sea were warm enough to swim in - although there were signs about jellyfish being possible in the sea so stuck mainly to the pools. It was a bit blowy a couple of days but didn't present too much of an issue for us - fortunately the catamarans were still running so we took the opportunity to explore the mainland - taking the earlier staff boats. The range of activities on Banana Island was phenomenal .. not many being used at this time but great to have them there. We can't comment on how noisy it would be in full season but if that but if that bothers you (which it would us) go for the deluxe, rather than premier, accommodation as a minimum on the ocean side of the island. The staff really made it for us - so genuinely friendly and helpful - thank you to them all!!!

The Banana Island Resort has ALL THE POTENTIAL to be a Paradise Island in these parts of the world. Staff service is A1, and always attentive to the guests needs. There is however lots of Areas for Improvement, e.g., Needs many more dining options, Alcohol consumption should be allowed, Construction and Maintenance activities should be better managed when guests, etc.

Exceeded my expectations, the staff make the experience truly special. They were what made this trip so enjoyable and all members couldn’t do enough for you. The food at the property was very good, we tried a few things but not the Italian restaurant and everything we had we enjoyed. Resorts can be very hit and miss when it comes to food but this was good for a resort. Once the new adventure park is opened, the kids will enjoy this once even more. Special mention to Kay at the Indian restaurant, she took her time to explain things through and dealt with dietary requirements in her stride! Will definitely be looking to come back here.
