I've never stayed at Banana Beach, however, I did stop by while carting in the south.
While I would not comment on the property without first hand experience, I have to confess that my first impression as I walked into the pool/courtyard area was the similarity to a motel layout. This perception would not prevent me from staying at BB and is no doubt the contrast between other properties in the area that I visited that have more open layouts.
My comments are not intended to diminish the value and character of Banana Beach, however, we all have our perceptions.
