Bamboo Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Friendly and helpful staff — they waited for us at the pier with a warm greeting and help us with our luggage during check-in. The location is great, with a beautiful private beach. We arrived around 11 a.m., and the room was not ready yet, but they process the early check-in for us and invited us to relax by the pool until the room was ready."

"Good comfort "

"Great "

"First of all, check-in was a crap shoot; NO communication, got lucky I hitched a ride with another guest who was having same problem, still was kinda left standing during check-in, otherwise no staff existing for any issues with the room, stained pullout couch, terrible working elevators, silverware was non-existing, no china for coffee, TV wasn't working, pool had no towels and the lounge chairs were bolted stuck in a seated position, no cushions either, property was very difficult to find, google maps didn't locate accurately, neighborhood was soso with lots of abandoned real estate projects, just skeletons sitting there. Checkout again marred by absence of staff, so not even sure if I checked out correctly"

"La Passion doesn’t have Management that show Passion! The staff are trying there best but with no support from management that you never see, they have no chance of turning this property into what it should be. Left at the pier known one to help us with our bags, I had to walk, even though notified of our arrival. It’s 3 star not 4, not enough sunbeds, sunbeds broken, all the cabana beds are broken, not enough beach/pool towels for customers, rubbish left in bins overflowing for our entire 5 day stay, no security so anyone can effectively come in. Breakfast is basic, they cannot cook eggs. There isn’t enough staff so everything is slow. I really want this property to succeed. If management cared for their staff and the property these things could be fixed very quickly. The staff need help from management. I like the rooms, the cleaning team in the rooms do a great job. The staff are all very friendly and nice and doing their best. For the price point I would consider other properties until the management sort out the problems they have been told about time and time again… "
