The Fiesta Banana was great for the price. The staff is friendly, and the food in the cafe is good. The location is great, not in all the action but only a mere 10 minute walk from the heart of fifth avenue. We didn't really enjoy the techno music at Mamita's, but walked down to El Tarraya and Bad Boys... more

The inn is not in the center of buzzing Playa, but it's a ten-minute walk through town to beachside bars like Blue Parrot and a five minute walk to the beach. The cafe attached to the inn is perfect for quick meals and cheap drinks—the waiters will even help you practice your Spanish. Warning: the free continental breakfast is a... more

We just got back from a 2 week stay in Playa Del Carmen at the Fiesta Banana Hotel. It is a family run hotel, the brothers taking turns in the office. Ask Roberto and he will give you some restaurant tips off of the tourist strip that are excellent. There were four of us in two separate rooms. One on... more

My mother, sister and I, older adults, are budget travelers. We choose our hotels based upon price (and of course reviews). We were not disappointed with our choice of Fiesta Banana. The hotel is clean and well kept. The balcony was tiny and not useable because of the tropical plants from the street taking over the balcony, but we were... more

My boyfriend and I stayed there from sep 18-25, 2007... The hotel was very easy to find (we were driving from the airport), and since the first moment the crew were very polite, and also funny. Even we arrived pretty early still they give us our room. It had plenty of room for two people, because c'mon... we use the... more

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in early September. There were several things that could have been better about the stay, but the hotel was so charming and fun we really enjoyed our stay, and the price was great, too! The only things we didn't like about the hotel were the piece of chewed up gum we... more

We went in February of 2007 for a week. Overall, I enjoyed it. Upon entering the room, I was very impressed. It was not a large room, but it had plenty of room for two people. The bed was nicely made and the room was clean. The towels were folded on the bed to be shaped like two swans and... more

We were excited to read all the great reviews of Fiesta Banana on Trip Advisor, so we were really looking forward to checking in. It is rated as a great place for young people to stay so we figured we'd fit right in, as our group was in our mid to late 20's. our experiences weren't bad - it is... more

I stayed at Fiesta Banana for 5 nights in May 2007. I travel to Playa a lot and have stayed at quite a few hotels in the town but I love this one the most. The hotel is in the Italian section of 5th avenue in a very quiet area but a quick walk to the action. Check in was... more
