I'm sure the night we went was an off night or a training night, BUT, it was a rough night. The drinks we ordered were the worst we had during our weeklong stay and one arrived with a gnat in it. The apps we ordered (queso and rolls) were just ok, and the service was so slow and none of the serving staff were attentive. There was something wrong at every table in our section. I'm sure they were understaffed and training a bunch of people, but our night was so bad I'm not willing to give it another shot.

I would review the food if we would have been able to actually order any. This was a bucket list dining spot for my 6 year old (after watching the All Ears video where Molly went 😄) and he was so excited to go. We got there and didn’t have anyone acknowledge us, or take our order. After trying to wrangle a server for about 20 minutes we left with our child in tears. This was probably the most disappointing Disney experience ever.

Food is decent, nothing mind blowing. Most go here for the drinks by the pool. Right now with social distancing in place you will be waiting for a while to actually be seated because of just how limited the seating is. If you thought it was low capacity before the closure, now it is very low. Overall the process to be seated and eat took way longer than it needed to and I was underwhelmed with the food. In a pinch this is an okay choice, if close enough I would recommend walking or taking the skyliner to Riviera resort to grab a better higher quality table service meal.
Pros:
Central location to the pool. Very convenient for poolside drinks with the 'walk up bar' option.Cons:
Because of the size of the resort it might be a 20 minute walk to get here. At that point if you're in the Aruba section of the resort you could have walked to the Riviera resort and had a much better meal. Food is not fantastic and it is a little pricy for the amount and quality that you get.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/10/2021

My newest experience at Banana Cabana was a little bit disappointing due to all the food having to be packed up in a cardboard box. I got a salad and i felt like i just grabbed it from a gas station. I do have to say the atmosphere is very fitting and cute.
Pros:
Good atmosphereCons:

We had a very pleasant late lunch here during our stay at the Caribbean Beach resort. We were lucky because this location was pretty busy our whole stay ( 13 nights ) and usually had a line to get in after 7p. We had the Parker House Rolls, a Cuban sandwich and the chicken wings. Everything was fresh and tasty. Our waiter was on the ball, shared lots of tourist tips and just had a fabulously upbeat personality.
Pros:
Cute little pool bar that offers food that is a step above the Food Court. Convenient to everything in the Ol Port Royale Area. Good food.Cons:
It's subjective to the elements - if it's hot and humid, you're may be miserable. If it's raining, 3 sides of the restaurant are directly exposed to the elements so I'd avoid it if rain is in the forecast.Reviewed by lauren94 Review Date: 06/13/2021

This is a really cute bar by the pool at Caribbean Beach. They have great drinks and theming is cute! There's not a ton of seating though and it gets very hot in there during the summer even though there are fans.
Pros:
Great drinks & food, themingCons:

We went in 2020 so things were a little complicated with the spacing because this restaurant is so small. However the bar and atmosphere are beautiful and walk up. Even though I only ate here once during our stay I came to the walk-up bar several times, The drinks were out of this world delicious. For the actual food the menu was very limited but made a great quick dinner, no complaints
Pros:
Wonderful bar and theme, poolsideCons:

Grabbed some drinks and a snack here in the evening after a park day. It was a great place to relax and eat. The drinks were fun and unique, not to mention tasty. We also enjoyed our chili con queso. We appreciated that there were plenty of nonalcoholic drinks to choose from.
Pros:
Relaxing, yummy drinks and foodCons:
Small, not a lot of seatingReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/15/2021

Love Banana Cabana! Great food and drink options with a tropical atmosphere. Easy access to the pool. Parents, grab a fruity drink while watching the kids play in the pool!

Our last trip to Disney was during COVID. We are at Banana Cabana once and it was a really fun atmosphere. It did take awhile for us to get seated since it’s one of the few places that has walk up seating, but overall we enjoyed our meal and had a great time.
