Riu Bambu

The trip was great, everything went well and I would visit again. The hotel staff was excellent with their service, The entertainment was good and the facilities well kept. However, I had a problem with the food sometimes as it was a bit salty.

I have traveled over 40 years. I’ve stayed at numerous Riu resorts. I’ve always been very pleased with them. In my opinion Riu Bambu does not hold up to the Riu standards I’m used to. The room was very outdated. Not all that clean. Of course you really are not in your that much, but still it certainly could have been better! The food here is okay. The Mexican restaurant and the steak restaurant ( which everyone raves about )are both poor quality. The buffet a much better choice. Pools are good. Only there is no shade. I was not really informed of how enormous this complex is! Lots of walking every day! If you have any mobility issues, I’d suggest finding another resort. Also no elevators! All I all I had a good time. Weather was beautiful. Just think Riu should be upgrading their rooms! Please!

This was our first trip to the Dominican Republic. We were not disappointed! Riu Bambu has a lot to offer! Great beach, entertainment, activities for all ages! And most important… the staff! Great staff, always greeting is with a smile and super efficient!

Just come back from Riu Bambu, four family members (two couples) and a friend. We had doubts before we went due to some very bad reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. It's a lovely four star quality hotel. Our room was very clean and comfortable, no beasties. The food is very varied, plenty of choice even for a faddy, non-foodie like me. We used all the pools and swim up bars and most of the restaurants. The evening entertainment wasn't always to my taste but there was something for everyone and they can't please everyone all the time. What I will say is it is in need of a refurb (which it's getting in n 2027). It's tired and needs sprucing up a bit. This did not prevent us from having a fantastic holiday and we did not want to come home. Anyone thinking of going there just needs to be realistic. It's a good hotel for what you pay but it is, for now at least, a cheaper priced Riu. If you want 5* top class Accommodation then it probably isnt for you. If, like us, you just want as clean, comfortable room to sleep in, nice pools, decent food without needing a mortgage to pay for it, in our opinion, the Bambi is just that. Just don't expect a 5* luxury hotel for 4* prices.

Overall great stay!!! Resort had a lot to offer! Food was amazing, lots of variety of options, tasted great. Entertainment was spectacular !!
