Disliked: Cleanliness
The property itself is okay, but the weather and the beach are absolutely phenomenal. The hotel has three pools, a small gym that gets crowded quickly, and a water park the kids really enjoyed. The beach is within walking distance, which is a big plus. The amenities overall are good, and the kids’ club (for ages 5–10) offers great activities to keep children entertained. However, the bar and dining options need a lot of improvement. The food quality feels similar to a basic cruise-ship buffet—plenty of choices but not many that feel healthy or particularly good. There is only one à la carte restaurant, the steakhouse, which is actually quite good, but you need to arrive before 6 p.m. because they reach their nightly capacity fast. The other themed restaurants (Spanish, Italian, and Hibachi) range from poor to just decent. As for the rooms, we had to switch on the first night. We originally booked a double room for a family of four (two adults and two young children), but we were given a king bed with an uncomfortable sofa bed. We were moved to a double room, but both the room and the beds were very small. The cleanliness was disappointing— we even found a large roach in the room, which was pretty nasty. They sprayed the room afterward, and we didn’t see any more, but it definitely affected our impression. The AC also turns off around 4 a.m., making the room uncomfortably. On a positive note, the staff is friendly and genuinely tries to ensure guests enjoy their stay.

Riu Bambu definitely knows how to treat its guests right! The service is good it almost feels like they’re trying to adopt you. Every staff member I met was friendly, quick, and genuinely helpful — major points there. The food? Honestly, pretty good! Plenty of tasty options with 6 restaurants for dinner. Now, the dessert table at Colonial… let’s just say it’s not exactly the star of the show. Pineapple & watermelon are not so sweet. But the night entertainment? Fun, lively, and full of energy. Perfect way to end the day — you’ll catch yourself dancing even if you swore you wouldn’t. Overall, Riu Bambu delivers a super enjoyable stay with a good service, delicious meals, and upbeat nights. Just give make it a point to serve quality fruit desserts next time and we’re golden. 😄

El staff de los comedores y entretenimiento un lujo, super amables y bien predispuestos. Las piscinas muy buenas, al igual que el parque acuático (más pequeño de lo que me imaginaba). La comida estuvo bien, variedad y abundancia. Me gustó que tengan en cuenta a los niños a la hora de cocinar (mi bebé de 7 meses tenía varias opciones para comer generalmente). Sin embargo, la habitación no estuvo bien: los muebles rotos, las lámparas torcidas y oxidadas. Además, me robaron dólares y mis tarjetas de crédito y débito dentro de la habitación, así que eso fue muy decepcionante.

Rooms and the Amenities need some serious work. I could hardly even charge my phone in the room without using an object to hold my charger in place. Also the rooms need a make over. The hygiene in the buffet area should be seriously improved on as people can get serious food poison from the buffet area. Its were the food os searved it shoild be really neat and free from insects like cockroaches and excess flies. The ocean side was fantastic though.
