"Eight cottages set on the prettiest stretch of sand on the island. Entertainment here is of your own making—bring a book and settle back with a cold Belikin beer."

"Steps from one of Belize's best beaches, where you can swim, snorkel, and dive from shore, and fish to your heart's content, is this former convent turned peaceful island retreat on 3½ seaside acres."

"The hotel is close to the airport and has clean, but uninspiring rooms with TV, air-con and colorful local artwork. Most rooms have beach-facing porches with hammocks.

"Banana Beach Resort is a 62-room two-and-a-half-pearl property on the southern end of Ambergris Caye that’s seen better days."

"A throwback to days before pillow menus and baffling body scrubs, laid-back Banana Beach is a friendly, casual, though time-worn hotel that's much cheaper than some spots on the island."

"This place may be too motel-like for some tastes and could certainly do with some cosmetic work, but while it is not elegant, it's reasonable value considering the waterside location."
