"This was our first vacation outside of North America and it was definetly one to remember. The beach was amazing (clean, full of activities, respectfull toursists etc). Their are two spacious pools, one with a big pool side bar with all the alchohol you can handle. Activities like Kayaking and water paddling are free and very fun. One problem was the resort workers, who are supposed to set you up with your activities aren't that helpful and the language barrier is quite evident. You have to be a little independant and adventurous to have a great time. The food was also very good and snacks are always available."

"The Riu Bambu is a fun happening resort.!!!! Beautiful beach and pool area, lots of available chairs, non stop activity. The food and a la carte choice was great. Awesome service that you would expect from a riu resort. A little older but very well kept and clean. Our room was made up early everyday, bar fridge replenished! We had a fabulous vacation here. If you are looking for fun and laid back this is it, if you want posh then better stay at the Riu Palace! All the Riu resorts are connected by a pathway so it's super easy to wak and visit each one.. We would go again in a heartbeat!!! "

"The hotel was a little old but the cheerful and helpful staff made up for any complaints. I do have to mention that the beds were very hard. Individual water bottles, like we had at the Grand Palladium, would have been nice."

"We took a chance on the Riu Riulette and it paid off - we stayed at the Riu Bambu for a fraction of the cost. We went in early September/05 - the weather was extremely humid - so much so that you hated to leave your air conditioned room. The food here isn't as good as in the Mayan Riviera, the hotel wasn't dirty but it wasn't as clean as it could have been - the grounds weren't kept up like at the Riu Yucatan. All in all, not bad but a lot of room for improvement!"
