Stayed 3 nights

The pool was great and they had a large common room with air conditioning and games etc. A pool table but not in the aircon. The room was listed as 27 square meters, maybe it was but if so, nfortunately, probably 15 of those were bathroom. The room lights were dim and often didn’t work. The restaurant food was not very good and other restaurants were quite a far walk. The keys and gravel ares (carry your luggage) were a pain. There was no cold drinking water and nowhere to cool water. You couldn’t even buy it, you had to pester the already overburdened staff for ice. To have the posted dinner options you had to let them know at some undetermined time. The staff had minimal English and seemed very poorly trained. They had to search a computer screen to submit what you ordered. Everything went slowly. The best breakfast was the granola with fruit and yogurt. The final day I had cold poached eggs with cold bacon and cold toast. The butter and fruit were warm. When we needed assistance it was laborious and throughout they were texting asking how they were doing. The wifi was good. The parking lot was chaotic if you were walking or driving.

A lovely 5 night stay in the flagship room at Bambuda resort. Stunning grounds with a 180 degree ocean view. Staff were super pleasant and helpful. Restaurant is good especially breakfast. We had our daughter with us and her dog, Bruno with us and he enjoyed his stay as well ❤️

Great stay, awesome staff, good food and drink options, clean, beautiful views, convenient location. The only thing I would note is that the property isn't directly on a sandy beach like I thought it would be from the photos... it's a 3 minute walk :)

Absolutely incredible stay! I would recommend this place to anyone - not to mention that Santa Catalina alone blew my mind! Beautiful beachfront, incredible food, and cute rooms :)
