It was reported here that they had reopened. Have they in fact had loud music since you have been there?

kim said: BAD NEWS is a death or someone has cancer - the fact that a very popular bar is actually open is "BAD NEWS", well that's just selfish as they to would like to make a living. Your a visitor. If the local people haven't complained about the noise or the resort - well stay elsewhere or if it bothers you so don't go. Really tired of this attitude among guests of the island <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> I agree. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

It was the accusation of corruption that got under my skin a bit. No call for that. This is supposed to be a friendly forum.

And kim probably remembers that.
What is often bad news for some is sometimes good news for others.

This is true, Kim. But what is also true, is that the music from La Bamba now goes on until 2-3:00 am, and disturbs the sleep of residents and tourists who live/stay in the area. The government was supposedly going to enforce noise violations, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Fortunately for me, I live in Cupecoy, and am not disturbed by this; however, I have a girlfriend who lives at SBYC and has to close her hurricane shutters, and sleep with earphones in order to mute the noise. Another friend at Simpson Bay Villas has been complaining, as well.

I do know that was a definite issue before and I sympathize with those who had noise complaints late at night. I personally can't imagine dealing with that, especially for those who live on island. Again, can anyone state that there is loud noise late at night now? If not, the OP's complaint is perhaps unjustified..

murphycpcu said: We were just there and it is really different. I think they were told to cool it as goes wild loud evenings. No live music anytime we were around which was often. I think here is the answer to the question. No loud noise. Yes, that issue should be handled and handled properly. But as I have stated over and over to insinuate a bribe is just wrong.

Sharon--anyone you can complain to, that it would do any good?
And Kim--anyone can see that I edited their post. Would you prefer I left that part of the post there?

I kept looking for a bribe accusation and couldn't find one. Now I understand why. Was wondering what I missed.
I am against depriving someone of making a legal living, but there needs to be consideration to the residents and other businesses in the area. And no one should be forced to listen to the boom boom boom until 3am. JMHO

I wondered what I was missing. I read the thread about 4 times before I realized something must have been edited.

Kim, I got it and you are correct on every point in my opinion. People like to convict in a public forum based on opinions, great that the place can still operate, and they need to do something about how loud the place is and how late they can be loud.
We stayed at the Atrium in November with our bedroom window looking out over La Bamba and were there the final night when it was to close in November. It was fun to stop by and we enjoyed it. We did have a night where the music was loud when we went to sleep and that was not really an issue to us but when we awoke at about 6am and the music was still loud that did not thrill us. All in all we had very little issue with the place while there but.......too loud too late in my opinion.
Cheers, Todd
I prefer the Isle seat

Sharon had previously posted in this thread that the music has resumed late at night. I do sympathize with you, as to me, there is no excuse for music until 3 AM..
