Beautiful property. Family villas were large enough for 3 adults and 1 child. The food was outstanding and there was enough variety to satisfy everyone. The Expedia representative, Marissa, was full of attitude but she works for Expedia not the hotel. The hotel staff were kind and helpful. We added an extra tip for each of them to show our appreciation.

Everything was great. Did not like the long far walks from our room to reception and the main general buffet near reception. However, staff at the restaurants were on point, always refilling the drinks without being asked, & always asking if we were ok or if we needed anything. Pool could have used some cleaning . I’m vegetarian and there were still plenty of food options for me, the food was good. We didn’t really have any problems , until checkout they tried charging us $60 for making two phone calls from the room (we only called reception twice) but it was resolved and the charges removed. The beach was a close walk , and we were able to use the kayaking equipment at no extra charge. Overall we had a really good experience, the staff were friendly and inviting, no one asked or expected a tip. We definitely plan to come back to Riu Bambu. I give it a 4/5

Not 5 star as advertised. From hard beds to subpar food the experience was not a pleasant one. The only nice part were the beach and pools. Would not return.

Riu Bambu Fun and Afforadable

Pros: Price was right
Cons: Better beds
Family of 5 stayed in one of the family rooms. Room was cramped and uncomfortable but we were there for the beach, pools, and fun. Beach was great. Pools were nice. Staff was amazing. Particularly Frank at the pool bar and Junior at the buffet restaurant.

staff is nasty

The person in charge Javier acknowledged my daughter was not present and gave me the run around that they needed an email from Travelocity to refund me and then he denied my refund. For three hundred dollars. Really? I will never recommend Riu again to anyone again like I did for ten years

Not happy at all with hotel!

The hotel seems very old. The room had a strong smell of humidity. The towels smelled terrible. The beds were not comfortable at all. The sofa bed was ripped and very old. Possibly bed bugs as my 2 daughters had bites. My husband and I did not have any bites so they were not mosquitoes. Most of the staff was friendly, but there were a couple that were rude. The bartenders offered my husband a liquor bottle for purchase. They told him it was an aphrodisiac and if he needed a woman they would be able to get one for him. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I'm sure there are better ones for less money. Sorry Riu Bambu you are definitely not a 5 star hotel. I give you a 3.5.
