What We Love
- No reservations needed at any of the restaurants.
- The spa, your escape-haven, with treatments that chase your worry right out to sea.
- The liquor dispensers in your room. You'll never go thirsty.
- Their mantra that rings true, "Service with Heart."
- The kids' club with a pool and a playground so you can take a much needed breather.
- The way the resort is bungalow-style and oh-so beachy. Big points for exterior style.
- The soothing sauna at the gym - perfect for chilling after your very productive workout.

Nestled amid palm groves and coconut palms, this everything-you-want Beach Eden does not disappoint. The beach is beyond epic. The cuisine will wow all the gourmands.

Notice a theme? Yea, this resort got it all.

Nov 22, 2024Fab holiday
The hotel grounds are gorgeous with several pools, bars and beach access. If you like parties, the RIU party is great and runs a few times a week in the day or evenings. The individual buildings made it seem more private and quiet. There was a good mix of guests from all over the world which was great, but also made some of the entertainment difficult to participate in due to language barriers, but it was still fun to try. Some of the resort could use a little maintenance, just some fixes to tiles or some paint here and there. The staff were great, the bar man at the Blue swim up bar, Christian, is the best bar man i've ever met - and i've met a fair few. He knows how to make everyone feel like family. I'd say if you want a holiday where you can go off resort alone for a walk, then staying in Bavaro would be better, but this resort has everything you need otherwise. The only thing we missed was an ATM in the hotel and maybe a little shop. There is one on the resort grounds but the ATM wasn't working for some of it and the shop was on the expensive side for basic things. Overall, we loved it. Would recommend.

Nov 20, 2024Bad bugs? I am pretty sure it was the case. First time in my life and that happened in Riu Bamboo
Most probably we were bitten by bed bugs. In 4 days after changing the room the bites and itchiness almost disappeared. My husband found pillow with black dots in internal layer. I didn't see other people with similar bites, probably we were lucky ones. If some one want to verify my review I will gladly share all details of my experience in the hotel

Terrible service at the reception.
Terrible service at the reception. We asked for the room we were in last time. Dancol said it would cost $20. We gave him $10. He said it was not enough for the room we wanted. So he put us in a room where people were staying. We opened the keys and people were lying on the bed. Then they gave us a room where the toilet did not work. Then they gave us a room very far away where the toilet did not work, the safe did not work and the TV. We asked for it to be fixed. They said that the service would come within 20 minutes, but no one came. What happened to the service at this hotel? We were here last year, everything was great.

Nov 18, 2024Nexus Excursions from Riu Bambu
Stayed at Riu Bambu in Nov. Booked a tour with Nexus representative to Saona Island and Fun park. Received honest, accurate advice about both tours. VERY HELPFUL. I enjoyed talking with her I think her name was Raysa. I would highly recommend using her, if you are wanting to book any excursions during your stay at Riu Bambu.. Thank you Raysa, hope you are still at hotel when I return again in the Spring. Your client from Canada (Bill)
