The view and location are beautiful, but the portions are very small and way overpriced. Staff was NOT friendly. I would take May business somewhere else

Me and my husband had the best time celebrating our Anniversary at Bamboo Blu. Denzil coordinated our romantic dinner on the beach so amazing. It was the best experience we had and couldn’t have picked a better location to celebrate our special occasion. Also all...the staff at Bamboo Blu is very professional and would give you a wonderful, peaceful and fun experience. If your ever in the Ocho Rios Mamme Bay Jamaica area please check out this beautiful restaurant on the beach you would not be disappointed.More

Mrschinloy36 I just spoke with Denzil and he has asked me to say hello and it was his pleasure to make sure your anniversary was fantastic. Thank you and see you soon.

From the moment we arrived we felt like old friends. Denzil greeted us, seated us, & shared with us. I ate the grilled spiny lobster - splurged for the $50 size - so worth it! I ate every bit of it. Loved the Cassava triangles...(sorry forget what they were called). My daughter had the alfredo pasta which she loved. To top it all off Denzil wrote my daughters name in the sand next to the water then lit it on fire. Talk about a great picture with a happy daughter! Fabulous place right on the water. Very welcoming. We enjoyed ourselves.More

The thing we were most disappointed about in Jamaica was the food- but bless Bamboo Blu for being everything a traveler could want! They served the best drinks, food and atmosphere we experienced while on the island. Hands down. Don’t miss this place while in...Jamaica!!More

We were very disappointed about the state of the location and found out that it was confused with the recommended Bamboo Beach Club. High entrance fees, relatively small beach and old deck chairs. Luckily enough this was only a stay after the wonderful Blue Hole,...limited to 1.5 hrs.More

We had a great time at Bambu Blu Beach and restaurant. Denzil Thompson , service manager and his staff, did a great job making our visits to their location memorable . Bambu Blu Beach offers great beachside ambience, with cool breezes and gentle waves. You...can rent a cambana or beach chairs.Beach is clean and waves and water therapeutic. Food is fabulous from escovitch fish to jerk pork or jerk chicken wraps. Rum punch and dirty banana drinks get two thumbs up! Music on point. Keep up this great level of service and all visitors will return.More

The food was good, nothing spectacular. The ambiance was great, especially Denzel with his fire show! I would advise you to eat there once, not twice.
