Does anyone know if courtyard suites(less expensive rooms) have A/C and cable tv and if bed is queen or smaller? How is beach and is there any place good for snorkling near beach.

All rooms have AC and cable tv. Beautiful place to stay, great staff. Bed is at least queen. Enjoy yourself.

When you gonna be there? We are there March 20-28. I was gonna go for the courtyard room cause it seemed like a great price but my girlfriend wanted the ocean view.

I'm usually one to go for the less expensive room, but the extra we spent for the oceanfront was well worth it. Banana Beach IMHO was very reasonable for what you get, and to have the doors to the balcony open in the moring while you are drinking some fresh coffee....a great way to start another beautiful day in AC. The view is great as well as the breeze!
(can't wait to go back!)

I'm going to Banana Beach next week and staying in one of the oceanfront room on the 3rd floor so I'll let you know what it was like when I come back ( if I come back).. the beach is suppposed to be better in that area because there is a 1/4 mile break in the reef that allows more waves and less sea grass.....I don't think there is really any great snorkeling right off the beach anywhere, but it's a pretty quick trip out to the reef. It sounds like there are a lot of fish around some of the piers in front of the hotels, but not any coral, etc.
