The adult section of the property was very nice. I do wish there was staff that spoke a little more English it was sometimes difficult to understand. Although o used a translator i was still able to communicate. Staff was friendly and very attentive.

We enjoyed our stay from day 1. We felt welcomed. The food had many options. The buffet changed every dinner. A big shoutout to the staff, they made the difference. From the staff at the restaurants, René at the bar, Léa the hotel concierge People in charge of the chairs, towels, waiters and waitresses, we don't have all your names but thank you. :) Staff stayed during the tropical storm to feed us, and took care of us, We really appreciate your dedication. Thank you :D

This is a great hotel to stay at. My husband and I had a great time there. The only disappointment we had was in breakfast and lunch buffet. It was the same menue everyday and catered for one type of visitors.The cuisines should be versatile. Still a beautiful hotel.❤️

What I liked most, it literally the quaintest little bungalows on the most lush grounds ,manicured to the tee. Breakfast and Dinner were include in the price and I felt is was very reasonable for the total cost of the resort. Not many options for pescataruian/vegan diet but the other people seemed to enjoy the meals and entertainment. It was a relative older crowd , not many young people.

We stayed in the Grand Kay building. Room spacious, the walls badly need fresh paint and the matress was worn-out. Nice tropical landscaping throughout the property but the poorly insulated balcony door did not keep the resident moskytoes outside. The half-board was OK but nothing spectacular, dinner started at 7pm which was a bit too late to our taste. Beach OK with quite a lot of seagrass in water. Excellent location for the ferry to the capital. Staff very friendly.

The property is extremely beautiful, its location on a fantastic beach is an added attraction as well as its closeness to the ferry service a mere 100m away - highly attractive! The bungalows are very picturesque and the surrounding flowers and fruit trees very charming.

My husband & I spent two weeks in Martinique at Hotel Bambou the end of February through the first part of March. This was our first travel experience in Martinique, although we have traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean.. The island is delightful- exotic & tropical, with the bonus of very reliable services- electricity/ highways/ water quality, etc -due to its being a part of France. This is a positive and unique aspect of Martinique in comparison to many other islands of the Caribbean. As well, the people are friendly & welcoming & love sharing their island & its history. French IS the dominant language- and as visitors, one would be most comfortable with some mastery of French -as English speakers are limited. Do not expect much accommodation for English- Martinique is a part of France & so residents speak Creole/ French Patois or proper French. We were more than pleased with our experiences at Hotel Bambou. We found it very much as advertised on line. We booked through Orbitz and got exactly the type of room we reserved. Our room was in the newer section- Creole Culture - a "superior room with partial ocean view " on an upper level. It was roomy, spotlessly clean & well furnished. A nice balcony porch provided an ideal outside spot with constant breezes on which to relax- sip French Rose & sample Brie (available at the little shop across the road from the hotel) .The resort is beautifully maintained- inside & out. The landscaping throughout the resort is spectac

While the location and the property are well maintained. the booking price though fairly high for the island only accommodated one person and an upcharge of almost 100 euro per day was applied. This really impacted our vacation. I would recommend being very careful about booking a room with them through an agent.

I spent four days at Hotel Bambou, it was absolutely wonderful! The hotel grounds are meticulously landscaped with tropical flowers and plants. The rooms are like individual villas, you have your own entrance with private patio. The pictures do not do it justice the hotel and rooms are so pretty. The room was clean, well decorated, comfortable bed, modern bathroom with rain shower head. The hotel is on the beach, I went to bed each night listening to the waves crash against the shore. One of the most relaxing trips I've ever had. The food was also really good, with a nice variety to choose from. The beach is just steps away, beach chairs and umbrellas are available for guests. The hotel restaurant/bar is accessible from the beach. The water is calm and felt great, there is also jet skis and other water sports available. All of the staff were lovely, extremely helpful and friendly. Martinique is a French speaking country so it would be helpful to learn a few conversational phrases, they will appreciate your effort. There is a ferry that will take you to Fort de France for only 7euros roundrip, much faster than driving and cheaper than a taxi. We did not rent a car, however the hotel is within walking distance to many bars, restaurants, shopping, casino etc. I would absolutely come back, I was more than pleased with my stay! Also should mention that check in/out process was seamless, arranged transportation to/from airport w/ hotel, that worked out great as well!

The place felt like a locked down camp. You had to wear a bracelet or else you were not allowed on the property. We felt like we were in prison with high gates surrounding pool, restaurant, and buildings. If you are an American and can't speak French forget trying to communicate...employees were "NO" help. Had laundry service with washer, but dryer did not work. Main restaurant was only buffet with mediocre food. Really did not like this place.

Completely dishonest! We booked our room on Orbitz and prepaid in full for 3 nights. The room type we reserved was “Suite, Beach View” and the room description was given as following: “1 king bed, 323-sq-foot room, balcony/patio and beach with beach and ocean views ...". The hotel also offered “Superior Room, Partial Sea View” and “Standard Room, Garden View” during the same period with lower prices. Upon our arrival at around 5pm, we were given a room on the ground-floor with absolutely no view at all. After going back to the receptionist, the young man who checked us in said that the hotel was fully booked so the beach-view suite was no longer available. Even with our strong demand, his response was “there is no solution for you tonight but you can talk to our manager tomorrow and he will be here at 7am.” After our demanding to see the manager and many back and forth, wasting our valuable vacation time, we were given the room we paid for f2nd night but the hotel refused to offer any compensation to our loss for the 1st night. The suggestions for the hotel owner and the top management: 1) Be honest when listing rooms with the booking agencies and improve the operation to avoid overbooking. 2) Train the staff to be professional when treating guests and be willing to face the guest (not hiding behind the staff). 3) Take the responsibility and face the guests directly when issues rise. 4) Compensate and refund the guests voluntarily when an overbooking occurred by mistake.

Go for the beach suites, the small units are cute, but it's small and hot in the garden with little breeze. The few extra euros is worth it. Nice property, but lacks detail, sign not lit at night missing bulbs, paint pealing, pot holes all over the parking lot, toiletries are weak. A little more attention to small things would make a big difference. The food was just ok, don't expect more than diner quality food. Overall nice property and beach areas.

we had a suite in the new part of hotel (its called "culture creole"), it was perfect. The pool was nice (only for this part of the hotel). But the old part looked also good. Very close is the public beach, include price you have a beds and sunshade. Next to hotel is big parking area (public), so parking is easy. The breakfast was average (scrambled eggs, sausage etc.), but we stayed three days and all days was exactly the same :( The dinner is a buffet and was not the same every day, but also average, do not expect nothing special.

Rooms are charming and very clean, grounds are beautiful with front porches. Great beach. Staff friendly, but front desk seems to brush aside WiFi complaints, WiFi reception not always working. The food was terrible, really poor quality and undrinkable coffee. After one breakfast and one dinner we didn’t eat there again. Staff worked hard to make dining room look welcoming, nightly entertainment added to this. Hotel wasn’t too expensive so we could afford to eat elsewhere and not feel pinched.

French Caribbean Experience
Had a great time. Staff was pleasant. Staff at the reception counter spoke English but most of the other staff only spoke French. Although there was a language barrier everyone was friendly. The room was perfect for myself and my toddler. The shower in the bathroom was great with one exception. The design of the space would always leave half of the bathroom floor wet. There was no shower door, curtain, or divider. The bathroom was an open concept. Water pressure and temperature for a hot shower was excellent. Breakfast at the restaurant was fine but dinner wasn’t as good. Buffet style dining. My only suggestion for improvement would truly be a flavorful selection of food in the dining room. The hotel is in a great area with options for dining, music, drinks, snacks, and more. Hotel is located on a beach front property that is splendid. Lastly the hotel is walking distance from the Ferry which you can use to explore other areas in Martinique.

A great little resort with a great beach and everything you’d want a short walk away. Staff was helpful and handled any request smoothly. My only critique would be dinner. The staff was slow and not particularly helpful. When we asked for the ‘a la carte’ menu, we got a frown and wait time suddenly increased. Drinks took forever and the server didn’t know what the by the glass wine we ordered was, we finally succumbed to the pressure and opted for the buffet, like everyone else. The food was good enough, but they started to run out and some selections were not available. We ate dinner in town for the rest of the trip. Also, the price posted at the hotel was not that different than the Expedia price. To end on a high note, our bartender, Réne was awesome. What a great man, he rounded out every evening wondefully.

A good stay!
Hotel Bambou has two sides; one with cottages and other side with more upscale, newer 2-level duplexes. Entire hotel--rooms and common areas--are very clean and landscaping is beautiful. Beach is bay-side with few waves and clear water. The area is safe and within walking of restaurants and bars. Breakfast just o.k. Dinner is much better with good variety each night. Overall, I rate Hotel Bambou a strong 3.5 Stars. With better food, I would rate a definite 4 Stars. For the money though, you can't go wrong here.
