Judy and Maria's Summation

 

In our opinion, the Club Hotel Riu Bambu is a wonderful all-inclusive vacation property in Punta Cana.  The hotel is avalue-added hotel that is fun and active. It is a good option for those seeking a fun atmosphere!  The huge pool with swim up pool bar is the hub of daily activity.  Watersports are "king" at the Riu Bambu.  The hotel's spectacular white sand stretch of beach is lined by turquoise sea and tall coconut palms and is the perfect place to enjoy the ocean breezes.

Riu Bambu Review

Review

Photo Tour


Professional Reference Minimize

"One of the most important aspects of Judy & Maria’s is several times a year; these women visit oriu logo.jpgur all-inclusive destinations to experience firsthand every new detail Riu has to offer. We appreciate their regular trips to our properties because we think the trips provide Judy & Maria’s with a deep understanding of the charm, amenities, and unmatched level of service that make Riu Resorts truly special.

By knowing their product offering first hand, a recommendation by Judy and Maria goes beyond the simple “brochure sale”. Currently Judy & Maria’s regularly send their clients to our hotels in Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. As we prepare to open new properties in Puerto Vallarta, Montego Bay, Mazatlan and Costa Rica, we know they will be among the first to visit and promote these exciting new Hotels.

We look forward to a strong and continued partnership with Judy & Maria’s and hopes that they will remain one of our top Riu Partner Club members for many years to come."
