    Price needs to be adjusted a bit. Considering the breakfast they serve and places available for night stay price could be a bit lower; cause the place is kind of like a country stay.

    The whole environment is lovely! Fantastic staff and very clean. I’ve been there three times and will still take any guests who are looking for a peaceful fun environment.

    We found it wierd to not have a waste bin in the room. The only waste bin available in the wash room, that too very small. The pricing of food and drinks is also on the higher side.

    The stay was very relaxing and refreshing. Impressed with the overall resots decor with an asthetic appeal, the calm ambience, cleanliness, mutiple pool options.

    Wifi is not good. We were not able to connect during our stay. Hope management will improve it especially during the peak season when guests are more.

    However, there are a few areas that need attention: 1. The water pressure of showers in our rooms was quite low 2. ⁠The restaurant was clearly understaffed during the peak period. Orders took a long time and things felt mismanaged. 3. ⁠Also, since the resort has an obvious theme for a specific cause going, it would be great to have more drink options, like Alokozay or Kinza, as alternatives to Pepsi. That said, we really enjoyed our time and would return for that private and special experience!

    My friends and I stayed at Banan Beach during the Eid holidays and had a very nice experience overall. The private chalet with its own pool was clean, beautifully designed, and gave us the privacy and enjoyment we were looking for. The breakfast buffet is really nice and rich. The entire resort is aesthetically pleasing and great for a relaxing getaway.

    We were there for 2 days… on our first day we were greeted pleasantly… and appreciated the welcome fruit basket in our room. The downside is that our room cleaning was left to us to sort out, and the complimentary water replacement was not done until our departure. Water purchase at the on-sight shop cost 20 dhs for 1.5 liter water. The shower accumulated a lot of water during our shower… only to find out the drain was partially blocked with hair.

    The rustic atmosphere and structure made us feel as if we were outside the UAE. The fact that our pet could possibly go wherever we went was a pleasant surprise… totally pet friendly.

    The pool could have been a little warmer. It did say online that the pool was heated but it wasn’t but I wouldn’t say this should stop you going at all. Still a great location!

    We choose the delux rooms with the balcony overlooking the sea. Room was really spacious and the balcony was a great addition. Just had to walk out the door and we were on the beach. The resort is quiet and the staff are really helpful and friendly. It’s also a huge bonus that you can bring your pet - we brought our dog with us for his first staycation and he loved it. They eventually have shower facilities on shite for the dogs!

    A rustic Gem that gives far more than it looks from the outside

    Breakfast on day 2 was slightly unorganised. Contacting the resort was challenging via phone and WhatsApp.

    Having seen the property from the outside our expectations were limited. That said when we entered we were greeted warmly by the staff, who throughout couldn't have been more accommodating. The facilities were extensive and clean. Our Nablus chalet was huge with an amazing pool/jacuzzi that was heated. A 10 second walk to a beautiful sandy beach was a real bonus. One of the main attractions is the dog friendly nature of the resort and the option to BBQ for yourself. There were multiple areas to suit all needs. Adult Only pool and bar, family pool, dog shower, breakfast area/restaurant, beach, shisha cafe, fire pits and more. Cutlery and crockery was available to order from reception/room service. Toiletries were available in the well appointed bathrooms. Breakfast on our first morning was excellent and more than sufficient. Day 2 was a little lacking in organisation. Food quality was good and perfect for our family with kids 9, 6 and 4. We all had an amazing time and would definitely recommend Banan Beach to all who are looking. A rustic Gem that gives far more than it looks from the outside.

    - the seafood restaurant sat the bar way too high for the breakfast buffet! The fact that a resort with a Palestinian owner serves hummus out of a can is rather disappointing - the marketing and online presence could use some serious work

    - the seafood restaurant. The Gaza style sayadiyah was especially good - the creative idea
