to get started.

Too much fun! The Bamboo Room has entertainment every night except Sunday and we took full advantage. The owner (John) is a great musician and has many musician friends that are equally amazing. If you like music and incredible views, you will love this place. It is in a very safe area. Make sure you have AWD/4WD as the road up to the hotel requires it. But once you get to the top of the world, you will be happy you made the trek. Ojachal is a special place that has some kind of magical feeling and this place shares all of that and more! The locals that come to the Bamboo Room at night are so friendly you feel like you've known them your whole life. Unforgettable. If you don't like music and friendly fun people, this place may not be for you.

Timothy, United States of America

The views are exceptional as is the food and entertainment!

Timothy, United States of America

View is gorgeous. The staff is helpful and very friendly. And the food at the restaurant is terrific. To top it off, the restaurant bar has live music often.

Terry, United States of America

Owners and employees were fabulous. Food was great. View is amazing. Bar is fun with live music. The pool is serene and beautiful. The king suite is very big with a large patio and great view. Air conditioning and two ceiling fans. More beautiful and welcoming than photos can show. The breakfast was amazing with good options for everyone. They are very accommodating

Julie, United States of America

The owners Janet and John took us in like family. It was mine and my wife's 30th anniversary and they provided free drinks when we arrived and met them, and at supper at The Bamboo Room they presented us with a free brownie in a bowl with "Happy 30th Anniversary" written in chocolate syrup

Bryan, United States of America

The room was nicely appointed with a great king bed, large deck comfortable seating with a beautiful sea view!

Barb, United States of America

A very small and very nice hotel with a great staff and great food at the restaurant. A killer view for sunsets, and a lovely swimming pool.

Jane, United States of America

The rooms face the sunset. They need to put up GOOD drapes not the sheets they are using now. Other than that it’s quiet 🤫

David, United States of America

The views were incredible from ever where on the property. Everyone there was so very helpful with all aspects of my visit. Food and entertainment in the Bamboo Room were excellent. The private balcony off my room made up for the sparse amenities in the room. Be prepared for a challenge in the drive up to the hotel, but well worth it.

Nancy, United States of America

The incredible staff: Roger, Allen, Matou . And we love the rooms and the great food in the Bamboo Room. Many thanks to John and Janet for another great stay!

The road is not great but if you take your time and have AWD/4WD it becomes routine after a few trips back-and-forth. Well worth the ride!

We invited 30 friends for a 75th birthday celebration. Wow did they put on a party for us at the Bamboo Room. After watching the sunset sink into the Pacific, there was live music, platters of seafood and friend cauliflower and nibblies, then a wonderful birthday cake. It was such a pleasure to sink into our nearby bedroom afterwards -- and in this part of the world, 9 p.m. is a late night. We went a little b eyond that. So many thanks to John and Janet Chantry for making a special occasion even more special.

Spectacular views just be sure to get a four wheel drive as drive way up is steep. Even that did not pose a problem as they would drive the car up and down for us if we wanted them to but it was fine with 4 wheel drive💕
