Hotel Banana Azul - Adults Only is a charming retreat, renowned for its idyllic location along Playa Negra's stunning black sand beach. Guests are frequently captivated by the calming sounds of the ocean and the lush jungle setting, which provides a serene and almost secluded natural escape, yet it's conveniently close to the vibrant Puerto Viejo. This picturesque location, alongside well-maintained gardens and a palpable Caribbean charm, enhances the tranquility and allure of the stay.
The hotel earns high marks for its breakfast experience, characterized by delicious, varied à la carte options that include fresh fruits and hot dishes, starting early for guests' convenience. While some yearn for more variety, the quality and taste, alongside friendly and attentive service, create a delightful start to each day.
Dinner at Banana Azul is appreciated for its excellent quality and creative presentation, particularly the fish dishes and tuna steaks, making dining at the hotel's restaurant a satisfying experience that often negates the need to explore external dining options. Although a few guests mention that the menu can be limited or pricey, and service occasionally slow, the overall ambiance and flavorful offerings largely satisfy visitors.
The rooms, praised for their rustic yet modern comfort, often come with private terraces, hammocks, and stunning ocean views. However, experiences can vary, with some accommodations lacking desired lighting and soundproofing. Cleanliness is a strong point, with many guests noting the well-kept grounds and rooms. Minor maintenance issues are sometimes reported, but the general ambiance remains positive and welcoming.
The exceptional service provided by the staff is a standout feature, as they are consistently applauded for their friendliness, professionalism, and eagerness to ensure a comfortable stay. The staff's efforts contribute significantly to an inviting and homey atmosphere.
Wi-Fi connectivity is generally good, with coverage extending to the beach, although some areas experience inconsistency. The pool, while small, is charming and tranquil, creating a peaceful spot amidst lush surroundings.
The beach access is a particular highlight, with guests enjoying the clean, well-maintained beachfront and the convenience of immediate proximity to the Caribbean waters. This accessibility enhances the relaxing experience, complemented by effective beach service and the beautiful natural setting.
Parking is convenient and secure, with ample spaces adding to guests' ease and contributing positively to their overall visit. Bed quality receives mixed reviews, with some guests finding them comfortable, while others note issues with size and cleanliness.
Overall, Hotel Banana Azul - Adults Only offers a serene and picturesque escape, strengthened by its dedicated staff, beautiful location, and pleasant amenities. Despite minor variances in specific aspects like dining and room conditions, the general experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, making it a recommended retreat for adult travelers seeking a tranquil getaway.

Its proximity to La Fortuna ensures easy access to local attractions while providing a peaceful retreat.
Guests rave about the breakfast, noting its variety, quality and abundance.

Parking is convenient with secure spots right next to the rooms, contributing to a hassle-free experience for those driving to the hotel. The monitored access and ample spaces, including electric car charging spots, add to guests' comfort and security.
