Worth weighing
4 to weigh- 20-minute walk to the center — The guesthouse is in a quiet neighborhood, which some guests find peaceful, but it means a 20-minute walk to Paraty’s historic center and main restaurants.
- Small property, limited facilities — This is a small B&B with a single room type listed (Queen Suite). The pool is described as small, and there are no extensive resort facilities.
- Adults-only policy — Children are not allowed, which may be a constraint for families traveling with kids. Note that one review mentions families, but the policy is clear.
- Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Check-in is only from 13:30 to 22:00, which could be restrictive for late arrivals, especially given the airport shuttle is paid and not specified.

9.3Verified guest“Our stay at Planeta Banana in Paraty was truly incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by owner Björn and his friendly dog Lola. The highlight was definitely the breakfast – hands down the best we had on our entire trip. There was a wide assortment of fresh fruits, bread from a nearby bakery, preserves, hams, and cheeses. The made-to-order scrambled eggs were delicious, and we could choose from various finishing touches. As a lactose-intolerant guest, they even made me a separate dairy-free banana crepe. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had air-conditioning and a fan. Service was outstanding, and we were so impressed we extended our stay by an entire week. The property also had a small pool, daily room cleaning, and complimentary bottled water. It’s a 20-minute walk from the town center, which let us explore more of Paraty.”
