Pros: conveniently located beach front, staff are great, the landscaping is really beautiful Cons: your experience will vary widely depending on which room you are in. We stayed in 3 areas: ocean room, villa 2, and the las brisas apartment down the beach from the main property. The ocean room gets very hot--it does not have AC and is like a sauna during the day. The villa was lovely--you have a private pool, the space includes a kitchen and great AC. The las brisas apartment was terrible--it was moldy, dingy, and has a bad sewer smell. Out of all the rooms, the las brisas apt was the very worst--we didn't actually book it, the hotel put us there after they gave the room we actually booked away to someone else.

We are a retired couple. Banana Azul’s staff couldn’t have been more accommodating throughout our stay. On a daily basis many staff members restated their desire to provide whatever we desired and to make our stay even more enjoyable. Morning coffee set up just outside our cottage & a full complimentary breakfast of choices was fantastic. They even offer laundry services. We loved our visit and hope to return.

The property was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was close to the beach and they had chairs and food service on the beach. The only thing that wasn't great was the mattress. It was close to perfect.

Great location right on the beach. Not Adults only! They were many young children during our stay which was a bit disappointing. Prices also seemed a bit high for food and drinks for what you got. We were better off eating out. Overall a nice stay a great beach.

This place was amazing.. the pictures Travelocity has doesnt do the place justice. The staff soooo friendly they go abvoe and beyond..not just one or two but all the staff. They have a turtle pond to see turtles and fish as well as frogs. Their cat oreo is so sweet and a fun addition for guests. We were able to see about 4 sloths on the property. The maintenence staff always kept an eye and then showed the guests where they were making the experience really nice. Not one problem w this place.. beautiful lovely, chill, fun things to see, great suggestions of what to do from staff.. we really loved this place and had a great experience. They furthermore provided a refreshing welcome drink upon arrival and a token for another drink when we were ready.

We were genuinely sad we only had one night to stay at Banana Azul! Check in was quick and efficient and friendly. The fresh coconut was a lovely treat. The Howler Suite was charming and the view magical. The food in the restaurant was delicious. I highly recommend Banana Azul if you want an authentic Costa Rica experience that’s right on the Playa Negra beach. I’ll definitely be returning.

This is a beautiful hotel. Beautiful wood, restaurant and bar and the lush jungle landscape is just beautiful. Loved the pool also. The standout about this place though is the staff for sure. Young crew, very good manners and helpful. Be sure to tip them, they deserve it. We’ll return one day! We stayed in the Brisas cabin and it was awesome. Note that most rooms do not have air conditioning so if you require air conditioning make sure you book a room with them that has it. Love Banana Azul! The shuttle service and your booking counter just outside their entrance was so helpful. We use Caribe Shuttle to get there from San Jose.

No shower water for 1.5 days & sewage smell
We enjoyed the food, the resort, the beach and the staff …however we are NOT pleased that for a day and a half we had no WATER in the shower. We were very patient & even went to the store to purchase bottled water to shower and flush the toilet! We were told that a part had to be purchased for the bathroom and the maintenance staff came to fix the issue around 3pm the next day! That’s a whole day and a half!! And the only compensation offered was 20% off of our FOOD bill? That’s $35. What does food have to do with no shower?!!! Wow, we should have been compensated for the ROOM not the food. We paid for a hotel… not a hostel… Also I emailed customer service about the matter while at the check out counter….and here it is 8 days later and NO ONE responded back to me!!! Also, twice we walked in the room and there was a strong sewer smell. We traced the smell to a drip coming from the ceiling. We thought it was the AC, but saw that it was coming from the ceiling and the restroom of the unit above us!! Gross! Suite- Tropical 9 needs to be renovated and the way management handled the situation was extremely disrespectful and awful. We paid an average of $148 each night and could not use the shower for a day and a half.. There was no apology, no response to my email or even an appropriate compensation. $35 off of the food is a slap in the face. They should be ashamed!!!!

I can't say enough good things about this place, and the people who take the time and effort to take care of us. Service and grounds amazing. The one thing you will need to get use to is the fact there isn't any AC on the premises. Looking forward to staying here again. :)
