I read the mixed reviews prior to our holiday at the Riu Bambu and we went there with an open mind. We simply couldn't fault anything. Our room was just a couple of blocks away from the main areas and was always kept so clean by the friendly maids. We had a fantastic easy check in - didn't have to... More

Riu Bambu--Punta Cana---April 2013. 14 Wonderful women away for a weeks vacation to celebrate a 50th birthday. We arrived at the resort and were welcomed with a fruity drink, some beautiful weather and a fairly painless check in. Rooms were not ready so our bags were set aside and we were actually taken straight to the buffet for some lunch.... More

I am here now. Many areas are sub-par, and I'm not super picky. Food and the a la cartes are a let down. Biggest fail is the fact that the disco is closed. When we spoke to management and our sunwing rep, we were told they were bringing in a Dj to play after the show, so we could dance.... More

My husband and I did a square deal through apple vacations and thought how could you possibly go wrong with a 5star resort...you can and we now know this for future trips. This was our honeymoon but felt more like we were at a spring break hotel. This is a club hotel not a resort and about 30 minutes from... More
