Apr 25, 20254 Star Trip in a 3 Star Hotel
Family trip with 15. Lots of fun and great for the kids with the splash park and mini one for littles. Kids shows were such fun for them. Every night they would say, "We gotta go to the show!!" Pools are great and the party pool / bar is beside but separate from the one the kids could use. Pools open 24/7 ! They alternate shutting one down at a time to clean. The beach is not cleaned of seaweed like it used to be. As with all resorts chairs are plentiful but occupied early. Shaded areas at the beach work and later in the day we'd grab pool chairs. Salt water pools and showers to rinse from the beach. No beach service tho but you get what you pay for. Bar servers are not friendly unless you speak spanish, even with tipping, but hotel staff and dining staff are great! Checkin/out easy. Rebuilt according to their website in 2017 only meant the reception/restaurants and pools. Rooms are behind and need updating. Only showers no tubs. A bit confusing finding rooms even with signage. Son's room's A/C didn't work right even when staff 'fixed' it. Cleaning staff excellent and accommodating. Restaurants great and buffet. Food excellent. Chili's not air conditioned but was it broken?? (We did get a great deal for the trip tho' and sun/sand and palm trees are worth it !)

Nice first time in the Dominicans
First time in the Dominicans, first time in an all inclusive... Very good value, and for this value all was perfect. The room was very basic and could receive a little bit more maintenance (rust on the lamps, dresser not straight...) but the bed was comfy enough, the shower great and a nice balcony... all enought fur the use of the room. A lot of choice of restaurants, all thematics buffets... you pick / try / choose... all is not the best but every body can find what they like. Only regret: we are in the Dominican Republic... why not some Dominican food in one of them!! The team in all restaurants and bars was great, they all have a smile and a lot of them are enjoying entertaining the customers. Nice pools, sometime difficult to find a free lounge chair; the beach is clean and paradisiac... but was windy.. was it this week, is it the Atlantic Coast... not sure... We did not participate to the Riu parties, apparently young people had fun... or was it the alcohol ;-) At the end, relaxing vacation...

Overall was good
We enjoyed our stay and housekeeper was amazing. Food and service was excellent. The only problem is that in certain restaurants you have to do a line but you can always go to the buffet and eat various food. Check in is unorganized and lack people to take your luggage.

Our Trip to Riu Bambu
Very clean, well spaced out, enough chairs, enough seating, the lobby was very friendly and helpful, we will go back in a heartbeat. The servers weren't very helpful with anything, careless, we were very disappointed on the service of the servers
