A magnificent pool with a swim-up bar shaded by another dome faces the turquoise sea. Riu Bambu is the perfect place for families; the kids’ pool features a special water play area! RiuLand Mini-Club provides activities for kids ages 4-12. Adults will enjoy the casino and free entrance to the disco.

Resort Overall :
 We have stain the DM several times and the RIU Bambu was ok compared to the other hotels we have staat.....
We were deladue to a storm and told no rooms were available at our hotel....untrue friends from another hotel were offered our rooms.......so we were changed to another hotel......which we paid $25 plus cab fair.....
Room :
 Room towels were not plentiful just one bath and hand towel a piece per day and no faceclothes.
Shampoo and soap gel were in packets and not body cream provided.
Pools :
 Pools were fine alth the beach towels were stained and sometimes damp.....was told the dryer broke.....
or they had run out of towels.
Beach :
The beaches are beautiful good supply of chairs...........
Resort Activities :

Riu Bambu ReviewLowell L., Perkasie, Pennsylvania
May 4, 2012
Resort Overall :
Room :
Our stay in the hotel was nice except for the constant construction noise coming from the Riu Macau renovation or a better description: destruction, next door to the Bambu.
Our room was located on the back line of Bambu buildings along the drive at the very entrance to the back of the Macau. Room #803. Trucks and backhoes started rolling at 7:00 am and continued all day long until 10:00 pm. We were disturbed by all the noise. It was not very restful! It may have been a better choice for the hotel to abandon usage of the end line of rooms for the comfort of their guests. We were unable to use the balcony due to the noise, dirt and the uncomfortable interest in us coming from the construction workers.
Pools :
The swimming pools were nice.
Beach :
The beach was beautiful.
Resort Activities :
Restaurants and Bars :
The food was not good and very redundant. They only had the cheapest cuts of beef, pork, chicken and fish.
The bars were nice. The staff was very helpful.
Nightlife :
 Children dancing on stage was available every night.
Excursions :
We took no excursions.
Tips: If you are into the beach experience you will love this resort.
If you are going to have decent meals and a variety of good choices you may want to go elsewhere.

Riu Bambu ReviewRich P., New Berlin, Wisconsin
April 5, 2012
Resort Overall :
Bordered on both sides by the new Riu Palaces, the Bambu is an exceptional alternative to the huge resorts. If you like the beach, this is arguably the best beach in Bavaro. Palm trees everywhere, unlike Iberostar where you have to claim you hut way too early in the morning. Bambu is excellent!
Tips: Learn some Spanish. All Americans should at least be able to say yes, no and please.
