Riu Bambu - All Inclusive

Todo muy bien , quizás que no me gustó el olor a humedad de la habitación . Debe de ser por la zona donde está ubicada . Por todo lo demás excelente

Muy buena

Arrived and had a speedy check in, porter took cases to our room which was 8004 slight musty smell on arrival but this soon cleared. Unusual layout with twin sinks in the main room, separate WC and large shower cubicle. Plenty of storage and loads of coat hangers. Drawers were wonky but still usable. Fridge with beer water and soft drinks. The toilet only flushed but would not flush again so a quick call to maintenance and this was sorted. A couple of times during our stay the maid had not been by 4, once we said leave the room and the second time she cleaned the room. Had to ring reception a couple if times for water as none was left. On the last day it looks like the maid took.tje plastic travel cups that we had with our kettle, spoke to reception about this but not resolved. There was the main restaurant and several others on site. We were told that the only restaurant bookable for evening mail was the steak restaurant, someone we spoke to queued nearly one hour to make a reservation we did not want to do this. We tried the Italian one night which seemed the same food at lunch time. We tried the Mexican a couple of times but there were oberv20 people in front of us waiting so we did not try again. The food I thought was adequate but not outstanding. A couple of times I struggled due to my onion allergens allergy to certain fish The complex itself wax very spacious with two storey accommodation. One TUI exclusive pool and bar and several other pools. The TUO pool wax very nice but I felt excluded more than anything. All the daytime entertainment was catered to the Soanish speaking and was not translated to English. A couple we wrote talking to said they were going to play Bingo, the caller asked if anyone wax English and they put their hand up but the Bingo was still not called in English. I spoke to several different people in the airport who stopped t different hotels and advised the same. The drinks were OK but I found very limited choice. After travelling to a RUI resort last year to Jamaica found that the drinks choice and the food a lot better. I found the evening entertainment very poor. Had a duo or a single person singing again in Spanish with the entertainment team getting guests up to dance Salsa, etc, before and after the show for a longer period of time that the main entertainment was on. The main entertainment was enjoyable such as a Michael Jackson show, 60's 70's and 80's show, etc but felt they should have been on for longer. The RUI parties we did not attend but were in a separate area to the hotel. The beach and hotel are spectacular but do not think the English are catered for not only in this hotel but in Porta Cana. We did not do any of the excursions so cannot comment on these. TUI did a couple of free shopping excursions but walking g rouglnd a shopping area in the middle of the day for 2 hours did not interest me.

For me I thought the food was great the staff was friendly and accommodating for our family of 12, but the entertainment I thought was terrible, nothing going on at the main pool plus the water was so warm it wasn’t refreshing at all spent all week at the beach. 5 days out of 7 there was live music mostly Spanish singers and the water slides were like a 30 min walk away for the kids, I would suggest not taking kids to this resort. I was hoping for my kids to experience a lot going on at the main pool like foam party’s and dancing they had none of this you had to be 18 + to experience this at there RIU Party which was disappointing. Beaches were Beautiful, Our room was ok comfortable beds and pillows but we had ants in our room which was unpleasant. Overall disappointing for a RIU.
