This is the best spot to spend your days in Santa Teresa! The beach, the service, the food/drinks – highly recommend. Staff are super friendly & service is great. My family and I spent everyday here while we were on vacation! The earlier in the day you go the better as beach chairs & umbrellas get reserved

Banana Beach Club is a great spot for sunset, drinks, and food. A lot of people rent lounge chairs and hang out on the beach with cocktails, which makes it easy to enjoy the ocean while still having the comfort of service, food, and drinks.
I went for dinner and really enjoyed the food and cocktail options. The vibe is relaxed and fun: beachy without feeling chaotic. They were also streaming the Jake Paul boxing fight on Netflix, which made it feel like a good go-to spot if there’s a big sports game or live event you want to watch while still being by the beach.
A solid place to spend an evening, especially around sunset.

Went here to watch sunset and grab some drinks at the bar. We ended up coming back a few days later to use the pool, you can purchase a day pass for $20 at the restaurant or bar. Great place to chill and watch sunset! the decor and ambience is great! ✨

Crowded with non-paying people. Cheap spirits in the happy hour drink and staff that look like they haven’t been told what to do or what’s on the menu. Barely saw sunset for all the people in the way ands the constant smell of weed cooking from some dude on the beach selling corona right in front of the place topped it off for being a dreadful experience. Don’t bother! Oh, the DJ and the live bongos were amazing but that was it

Banana Beach was very nice, several options to choose from on the food & drink menu. Food was good & drinks were ok. The price for everything was well worth it…You could sit here all day & get lost in The beach front scenery.

Truely the best beachfront restaurant in S.T. This is what you’re paying for.
Kevin was a nice and friendly server.
Happy hour was 2for1 drinks for $16, though the margarita was small and didn’t seem like a lot of tequila. Food was delicious, but also small portioned.
Overall, it was a fine experience but know you’re paying for the location and view.

Had a decent dinner at Banana Beach while visiting Santa Teresa. The reviews mentioning rough/slow/lack of service are very TRUE – there are servers everywhere but it felt like no one was serving the tables and it doesn’t appear they have a typical service system, so you have to be proactive and advocate for yourself. Once you get their attention, they’re much better, but it took us about 25 minutes of being ignored and going to the bar on our own for drinks to figure out the “system” there. We went on a Wednesday night, turns out that’s one of their party nights – the place was PACKED and they had a DJ playing music and a fire dancer moving around through the space. We were super lucky and grabbed a seat right before sunset near the bar because after sunset everyone came looking for a seat and there were none to be found. So, pro tip: grab a seat about 20 min before the sun sets… you might not see the sun dip into the horizon, but you’ll get your butt in a seat for dinner!
The vibe of the space is cool with nice lighting and canopies draped throughout. Attire-wise anything goes from dresses to bathing suits to naked children, ha. The beers were super cold, which was great, and the food was pretty good overall. We tried the margarita pizza and burger – I thought the burger was definitely better than the pizza, personally.
I’d also recommend trying to sit just a little closer to the water, as away from the water at the tables and couches near the bar there was little airflow so it was pretty hot.

Lovely view for sunset. Cocktails are dreadful and expensive. Too many none spenders taking up really good seats for too long making the place a mess and tricky for the staff to manage! For me at sunset get rid of the people using it as a free sun bed place leaving towels on beds that didn’t have anyone on it for ages and let people wanting to sit down and enjoy drinks enjoy the space.. also guy selling bottle beer out front of the place on the beach not sure if he’s solo seller or part of the bar smoking the most pungent weed ever.. staff were great just needs some strict management about the guests. The DJ was great as well..
