My family of five (3 kids -- 14, 10, 8) just returned from a week at the Bambu. Let me start by saying that many of the complaints in the negative reviews about this place are true. The rooms are a bit outdated. Our family room consisted of a "king" bed that was really 2 twin beds pushed together and... More

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Bambu from May 19-26th in a regular room. I'm very surprised at the many negative comments! This was one of the best resorts I have stayed at and also the least expensive that we have paid! For the price we paid, I would go back in a heartbeat. People, let's be realistic... More

The buffet meals were absolutely disgusting and improperly cooked. The burgers and the so called tenderloin were as hard to chew as plastic...Flies everywhere on the fruits, breads, and the cold entree items! Their refrigerated display for the buffet was not working, butter and cheese melting! Check out the Kamikaze fly in the honey picture, flies on the fruits and... More

Not a 5 apple as avertised by AppleVacations. At best it is 3 1/2. Our two family rooms were crowded with two duble beds pushed together and a sofa couch right next to it. The bathroom was very small. The decor was depressing! The food was the worst we have ever experienced from an all-inclusive. Fortunately the beach is beautiful... More

NOT a 5 or 4 star, be warned. Shame on Expedia and sunwing / signature vacations for selling packages to this resort as 5/4 star. This is at best 3 star even by Dominican rep standards. We stayed at other resorts nearby rated 3-4 star and it was much much better. We had decent chicken just once that week. The... More

Stayed May 23 - May 30, deluxe room. Travelled with 2 other couples, first time vacationing without our kids. We managed to have great time despite most of us getting sick and having belongings stolen. We would definitely NOT go back to this resort. It's been almost 2 weeks since we returned from this resort and we are still sick.... More

This was the first time we have travelled to Dominican Rep. and we had previously heard very good things. We have travelled to many other countries and it is unfortunate to say this trip left a very bitter taste to the extent in which we don't think we'd ever want to return . We travelled from may 23-30th 2013. Our... More
