I stayed at Banana Beach Bungalow with 2 friends and our 2 labs. It was perfect! We stayed in Casita Linda with 2 rooms: comfortable beds with nice bedding; comfortable, clean, modern bathroom with excellent water pressure, hot water, storage space; good air conditioning.
We augmented the outdoor kitchenette with pans and my kitchen tools I never travel without when cooking and we prepared delicious meals we enjoyed in our patio and garden. Great stores to buy food nearby. The cooktop was very hot, the refrigerator held a lot, and good water pressure in the sink. In Tico style, cold water only.
Our garden was completely enclosed by a 5-foot fence, so our dogs could run free, only in the two larger casitas, although all were private. Our garden, as well as all of the grounds, were beautifully landscaped. I felt like I was in a Rousseau painting the whole time there.
The beach, while too rough for swimming, was beautiful. The double beach lounges were comfortable, and you could choose sun or shade. Also a huge variety of seating, including tables and chairs. The entire drink and food menu available everywhere at the beach. Our dogs loved running free on the beach and even did a little swimming.
After relaxing at the beach, we hit the pool, which also had beautiful landscaping. Even our dogs were allowed in the pool, aided by the beach access. With that, we were completely in love with BBB! Very refreshing!
Staff was friendly, restaurant very good.
