Banani Palace

Set beside a small pond, Banani has clean, white-tiled rooms with TV, sofa, coffee table and a small attached bathroom with sit-down toilet. The cheapest rooms, on the ground floor, represent good value for Kuakata, although they aren't a patch on similarly priced hotels elsewhere. It’s on the right as you walk away from the beach along the main Barisal–Patuakhali road.
