The Riu Bambu Punta Cana Club Hotel is known to be one of the best ones in Punta Cana. It is a 5 star resort that while it doesn’t have that many luxuries, it does provide a fair share of fun activities. The resort consist of 560 guest rooms, one story building.
The whole complex covered in an immense mesh of tropical vegetation give the area a very refreshing touch. This all inclusive resort is more oriented toward families and kids than to romantic couples. Also, this resort is famous for its night time activities and potential fun that you can have. As part of the Riu complex you can use certain services common to all the Riu except the palace ones. For its price is one of the best resorts you could get if fun is what you are looking for here; if it’s quiet time what you want, then this resort is not for you.

The
accommodations at the
Riu Bambu Punta Cana includes: 2 double beds, ceiling fan, telephone,
liquid dispenser, mini bar, satellite TV, In room
safe, balcony, central a/c. The suites posses a living room as an
extra feature. The rooms are clean and
the staff make sure it is kept that way. The humid environment of this
area contributes that the rooms smell a little musty when you open it
for the first time. You can either get used to it or get one of those
spray that make the room smell good. Also a couple of comfy
wooden
chairs and well crafted lamps complement the outline of the rooms very
well.
The pool at the Riu Bambu Punta Cana Club Hotel, even when is not that big, has stairs that are well beautifully designed. The bar in the pool fits incredibly well the magnificent dome like structure made of marble, which I find to be one of the finest details in any pool in Punta Cana. Many kids and adults love to hang around it instead of the beach, reason why it gets crowded so fast. To get a nice place near the pool you know the drill getting up before 8:00 am and reserve the chair with a towel.
The
beach in front of the Riu Bambu
Punta Cana is the
Arena
Gorda beach which is common for all the Riu
complex hotels. That beach got so many palms and "palapas" it gives an
incredible good look over many beaches. The wonderfully transparent and
turquoise waters on this beach can make anyone want to stay here for a
long time. Don’t forget to reserve chairs here, very similar like in
the
pool in
order enjoy the day here.
The cuisine in this resort is very similar to the other Riu resorts. The main buffet have a nice selection even though the quality of the food is not as great as in other resorts. Is similar to the other Riu, because you will eat your meals of the buffet in the same tables.
For the a la
carte restaurants at
the Riu Bambu Punta Cana you
will find the Mediterranean and the steakhouse which will offer a
little variety from the main buffet at dinner. Don’t forget to make
reservations early in the morning for these restaurants and to wear
more
formal clothes when dining at them.
In
this resort you will find plenty of things to do during day or night.
