I travelled to the Riu Bambu with my boyfriend from 10/06/09- 24/06/09. We're used to 3-4* SC beach holidays in Spain (Canaries), Greece etc so decided to save up and spend a little bit more this time round with it being my 21st Birthday a few days before we went. When we got to the hotel check- in was quick... more

On arrival we liked the nice open plan area in reception. We were shown straight to our room and our luggage followed on. Very quick and easy. The rooms were clean, tidy and spacious. air conditioning worked well, thankfully because it was very hot. Maid service was each day. The rooms were well cleaned. There are 3 main bar areas.... more

Booked this holiday with Thomsons just a few weeks before we travelled. We went from 31.05.2009 - 14.06.2009. This hotel was part of 5 Riu hotels on the complex, and as much as we liked this hotel, the Palaces are definitely the hotels to go to! ROOM: The room was a good size, and the two double beds were great!... more

My partner and I have just got back from staying in the Riu Bambu. I can honestly say it was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. All the staff will go out of their way for you. The facilities are really clean and your rooms are cleaned every day and are left spotless. The cleaner even leaves little... more

Traveling with a young family, I have always been very cautious where we travel, this time because our original holiday to Cancun was cancelled at short notice we opted for the Bambu as we were told (By Thomson) we might be able to get inter-connecting rooms. On arrival we were told there were no inter-connecting rooms anywhere on the Riu... more

Great Hotel, though getting a little old! Rooms and grounds are all clean. Rooms cleaned everyday. Food good, service even better - the staff can't do enough for you. Animation team are brilliant and work very hard. Water aerobic sessions in the pool are so funny! Staff at the pool bar (Victor & Wilkins) are great barmen - no short... more

My husband and I just returned from a week at the Riu Bambu and have the following to say about it: Once we connected with our VIP rep (we booked with Fun Jet) at the airport and the 45 minutes dropping off the other vacationers we arrived at the Riu Bambu. The reception desk was incredibly friendly but please understand... more

We stayed at this hotel during the first 2 weeks of may and had a fantastic time! Location - right on the beach...white sand, turquoise sea. Paradise! There were plenty of sunbeds no matter what time of day you go to the beach. Do be aware that if you fancy using a pedalo or catamaran you do have to book... more
