The room was cleaned amazing every day. The food wasn't something special. The resort is mostly for party people not like a family resort for quiet time and joyful stay. Every night drunk people yelling on hallways banging doors and trashing rooms. Overall not a great vacation experience.

Food was not good at all not even traditional Dominican dishes. Roaches in the sports bar near the late night snacks. People smoking cigarette's and cigars all around including in the pool. Room was outdated (light fixtures broken and dresser drawers broken) not much entertainment at all compared to other Riu resorts.

Staff were friendly and useful however my room only had one working plug which i had to share back and forth with my roommate to charge my phone. Breakfast finished way too early and the food was no where near good. One of my beds was near broken and gave me a bad back. There’s also no golf carts. The Riu jungle party is advertised online as every Monday however when I arrived I learned that it’s every Tuesday

The hotel does not have golf carts to move around. You have to do a lot of walking in the heat to get to beach and restaurants. The restaurant staff are amazing. The resort also has a business with their own drivers ans so not let you order taxis or have anyone pick you up unless its someone thats paying them. They make guests walk miles to the entrance to meet their rides. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

The room was clean, bed sheets were clean. No bugs visible. Rooms are a little outdated but I was there for the sun and pool. The pool was pretty clean only saw a few floating cups because people didn’t care to pick up their cups. Breakfast was good. Buffet style, lots to choose from. Lunch and dinner was the same. They do have some restaurants, Italian, Asian and steakhouse maybe some more. The steakhouse was the best. They do want you to dress up a little for those. Some people just went in there in swim wear. Just didn’t look right. When everyone else is dressed up a little. They have some parties, neon and white so might want to bring outfits for those events. Tipping is appreciated, I know I got my drinks quick sometimes before I got to the bar. You also have to call for them to refill your fridge. Cleaning service doesn’t do that. Nor do they notify the beverage refill service.

We had a blast here but the only thing I’d have to complain about is the rooms. Out dated and they could use some renovation. And these tiny tiny bugs were crawling all over the place including myself. I’m not sure what they were but they were super tiny. Other than that staff was amazing and everything else was great.

I was a bit worried before arriving after reading the reviews since this was my first time in Punta Cana and my first time staying at an all inclusive resort but I’ve never been left more happier and satisfied. All the staff here are very welcoming, helpful and so full of life. I give the food a 7/10 considering they are mostly all buffets but nonetheless there are so many restaurants to choose from. The cleaning crew does a great job every morning cleaning your room and the hotel staff are very quick to cater to your needs. Entertainment is a 10/10, everyone there definitely knows how to have a good time — the party never stops. However, be aware of the bugs. My friends room had a cockroach crawling around but the staff were quick to get rid of it and have another room ready in a few hours. I don’t normally write reviews for places I’ve been to but now that I am home I cannot stop thinking about the amazing time I had. Don’t let the bad reviews fool you — coming from a very picky person. All love to the RIU Bambu staff ❤️❤️

The shower had no shampoo or conditioner for guests — only a 2-in-1 “hair & body wash”, which appeared to be just like the same hand wash product provided in the bathroom. Shower flooded many times as the drain was not doing its job properly. The restaurants were not open until 10pm (as advertised), all of them closed as soon as the “limited number of people” was reached. Food was okay, nothing spectacular; a variety of appetizers and desserts were served, but there were only a few options for main dishes. Everything tasted fresh though. Pools were poorly maintained and got dirty very fast due to the huge number of guests. Bars were good with friendly staff making drinks all day — without pressure for tips. Beach front was a nice spot to relax and enjoy calmness. It is a cheat resort, don’t expect much. Good option if you have a low budget for a short trip.
