I liked that everything really was all inclusive like they said! The beach was also really pretty and they offered kayaking and snorkeling for free. I got food poisoning from my last day :( Everything is buffet style (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) except one restaurant. They have "live" cooking stations like for omelets and such. There was more alcohol available than one could ever need.

There were bed bugs and roaches in our room, and roach sightings happened daily. There are many restaurants at Riu Bambu and all are disgusting because everything is cooked in rancid oil and has the same disgusting stench to it. We were hungry for days. Sheets and towels are also stained … and the pool water was always opaque instead of clear, so I suspect they don’t clean well. Overall a horrible experience that was not relaxing at all. We ended our trip early and were relieved to be flying back home after 3 days. You’re better off staying at the Riu Palace Punta Caña next door, which we visited in order to escape ours and realized it is beautiful.

So far the worse resort I have stayed in. I would never give this place a single star. Since the first day I told them about the room. All mold and very dirty. They told me you get what you pay for. My son cut his arm on a broken glass in the room. The scones were almost falling on top of the bed. The bathroom was horrible. We are talking about 5 star hotels. I’m not asking for anything less than the minimum. I would never stay again in this resort.

I did enjoy my stay although Mother Nature was relentless. I must say though, I wish they wouldn’t cater so much to Americans. The food options was so boring. I was expecting to taste some Donovan food while there and got none of that.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

The property could definitely use an upgrade. There were cracked and missing tiles in the pools, the overall pool areas were not clean, the pool chairs were either broken, dirty or both, the rooms did not have washcloths, and many other things. The buffet restaurant was not maintained throughout dining service. Spilled food was not cleaned up quickly and the staff weren't attentive to guest needs. Also, with the exception of a few, the staff were not friendly.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

I really liked the hotel and amenities. They have more than 3 pools and the water park its nice. They have riu parties which are fun. However, the food is very average, they have buffet like in all the 5 restaurants with the exception of the steak house. The steak house you must reserve early as everyone goes to it, by 430pm or 5pm they wont have anymore reservations left and the food wasnt impressive. The room was nice although i am positive it had bed bugs... i really wanted to like this hotel because like i said its an overall nice hotel but they need to do better. I dont think ill be back to this hotel next time im in punta cana.
