Just returned from a family - 5 day escape to Riu Bambu
Staff was very friendly! Brush up on your Spanish though!
Our room couldn't have been more perfect 2216 & 2210 1ST BUILDING -
close to everything - I would have concerns if I had to walk to the farthest complex. (bathrooms need updating)
Beach was absolutely beautiful - a lot of water sports by swimming area I strongly recommend the Sunset cruise!
Well worth the money!

My wife and I enjoyed ourselves very much. Mother-in-law also enjoyed herself. A very nice place, good food, beautiful beach and not alot of "drunk party goers". My teenage son got bored at times.
