Banana Beach Resort

Rip Off Place

I stayed at Banana from 8/3 - 8/6. I had a golf cart that was rented from cholos and on 8/4 I had filled the tank up(55.00bz dollars). Around 7:30pm I parked the golf cart across from Banana in there parking lot that was suppesly patrolled by security. On 8/5 we left the room around 9:00 am and while traveling down the road the golf cart broke down. When cholos arrived to fixed the cart it was found that all the gas I had just put in less then 24hours ago was siphoned out. I had to pay cholos for another full tank of gas(55.00bz dollars). Since this happen on Banana property I was not comfortable to park in the lot again for my remaining time there. Therefor, I checked out and advised them as to why. I was told to return at 9:00am the next day to speak to management. When I returned the next day, the hotel refused to let me speak to the management and Instead they said I had to speak to the head of security (Mr. Lopez). I was highly upset about this since I feel he is not the manager of the hotel , I feel I should have had the right to speak to the hotel manager. Anyway's, I showed them all my proof and the hotel refused to reimburse me for the extra gas I had to pay. There reason was, "this has never happen before therefor we will not be doing anything about it". I felt this was not an acceptable reason. I started to speaking to a lot of locals who informed me that Mr. Lopez runs a crooket security business and he allows the locals to pay him cash so his security staff would turn there backs while they siphoned gas out of golf carts. In fact this is not the first time it has happen and I was informed that people have complained to the hotel in the past. Visitors should be aware to watch out and not park there golf cart in Banana's parking lot. Also, this hotel is not the best. It is a low rated hotel. At least the time I was there, there was a lot of rowdy local people from belize city staying there and made noise all night long.
