The raves keep coming...

The Bamboo Resort was recognized this week by Superior Small Lodging for “Excellence in Housekeeping,” one of only two Fort Lauderdale-area properties making the cut.

The awards, handed out annually, reward "superior housekeeping standards, superb interior decor in an authentic and personalized hospitality environment."

"SSL’s standards in housekeeping highlight what really is a multi-faceted service," says Catherine Arthur, Executive Director of Superior Small Lodging. "It goes beyond requirements of sanitation and cleanliness to involve competitive analysis, rate structuring and overall improved marketing value of small lodgings."

In her remarks, Ms. Arthur said that 2005 was one of the most competitive years in awards history.

The Bamboo Resort, a seven-unit guesthouse, is located in a central, residential neighborhood, close to Wilton Manors with its many gay bars and restaurants, and is ten minutes by car from the beach. It represents an exceptional value for the money. The new owners, who took over in spring 2004, are busy sprucing up the already-well-appointed property. All rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, modern, and smoke free, with AC, color/cable TV, VCR, dataport voicemail telephone and refrigerator. A secluded courtyard contains a beautiful pool, barbecue and deck area, including a covered patio to protect guests from Florida's scorching sun and occasional rainstorms. The Bamboo Resort also provides an in-house fitness room and spacious, comfortable interior common room where guests can socialize, play board games or watch TV.
