I am a travel agent having just returned from a weeks stay at the RIU Bambu. Worth remembering that at the Punta Cana airport, the arrival of the luggage can be quite slow, and there are no drinks facilities in the arrival area, so do purchase a bottle of water before leaving the aircraft. Transfer to the hotel approximately 30minutes.... more

My parents booked us this trip for a honeymoon after our wedding. The Riu Bambu was a beautiful resort, very clean, nice vegetation, and the beach was incredible - powder sand, fair amount of shade via palm trees and a relatively calm sea. The swimming pools and poolside areas were also clean and fun. We arrived at the beach/pool at... more

Myself , wife, daughter and friend just returned from a week at this hotel. I should start by saying that we got less than what we expected.
