Hotel Riu Bambu - All Inclusive

Everything was perfect

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews, so please judge for yourself. Check in and out was quick, and service from all the staff is exceptional, and quick. Food, you have a variety of restaurants, with the Tui only Kulinarium, à la carte restaurant and Palm Beach, Steakhouse being personal favourites amongst the trip. As for the pools, you have four, with an additional one if you are a Tui guest. Our personal favourite was the largest pool, next to Mamajuana. This is still a busy pool, near the bar and restaurants, but quieter than the main pool bar, with plenty of beds to choose from. The rooms and hotel in general is in need of a refit and decoration, but this is not a fault of the staff/management. I am sure that Riu Bambu is not far off the list from being renovated. Overall, if you can get over the decoration that is a bit lacking, you have a tropical, boozy paradise, directly on the beachfront.

The staff was friendly and bilingual

Just returned home frim my 3rd visit here, which didn't disappoint, it was only the weather which wasn't as good as usual - but that can't be helped. Check in was extremely quick, I had already checked in online, but once at hotel had my band and key in less than 10 minutes- will depend on how many people arrive at the same time of course. Room was kept extremely clean and mini bar re-stocked at least every other day, but can always request more on the Riu app. Beach is just beautiful full of coconut palms, this visit the last few days a lot of seaweed arrived, but this also can't be helped. Staff are all brilliant and friendly, sports bar has an amazing atmosphere, and at this hotel there's always a good mix of nationalities. Visit the swim up bar and you'll always find someone to chat too. Lots of choice of food, and several speciality restaurants too. There is also a quieter pool on the other side of the complex next to the Spanish restaurant . The parties across the road are always Brilliant fun, over 18's so no kids obviously allowed in, make sure you get your 'make up' done by the animation at the top of the slope close to the sports bar- 2 afternoon parties and 2 evening parties, I totally love them, and come home needing a rest 😉 Try to catch a sunrise, I caught a couple and they were absolutely stunning. There are also shops if you walk along the beach path to the left, and I was told whilst chatting there is a large souvenir shop if you head right past the hotels, apparently good prices but will have to save that for my visit next year. I got bit to death so definitely pack some good bite cream just in case. I had a brilliant time again, so huge thank you to everyone who works at the Bambu, all your hard work is much appreciated, and I'll be back next year to see you all again.

No encontré transporte para ir a los toboganes y cosas q tiene el hotel que es lejos

Los alrededores súper bien lo único q deben remodelar los cuartos están feos.

Excellent

Very uncomfortable stay. Rooms are clean but between the rusted fixtures, mold infestation through the hotel hallways, doors not closing securely and rooms. Staff shown pure disregard to African Americans and refuse to service us.

Nice location. Honest review food and service needs improvement.

Worse food I ever had the only thing that was good were the fresh fruits. The food was terrible ! And it gave me diarrhea badly . The property was nice and the staff was friendly. The room had bugs running around and the power randomly shut off for like 4 hours there was no AC and it was very hot. Not very English friendly
