The all-inclusive Riu Bambu, on the beach at Arena Gorda in Punta Cana, is part of the Riu Resort, which also includes the Riu Palace Macao, Rui Taino, Riu Palace Punta Cana, and Riu Naiboa. There's something here for every type of vacationer: young singles, couples, older travelers, and families with children.

Moroccan-style mosaic domes, archways, and white columns mark the architectural style. Hanging baskets of ferns and flowers adorn the bright yellow lobby, furnished with wicker and bamboo couches. The bungalow-style rooms are spacious - all have a balcony or terrace - and suites have separate living and sleeping rooms. 

Riu Bambu's resort's Colonial restaurant presents theme buffets twice a week and prepared-to-order cooking stations nightly. Mama Juana is a poolside restaurant that serves steak dinners. Guests can also choose to dine at any of the other restaurants at the Riu Resort, and can find cocktails and soft drinks at any of the bars in the complex, including the La Arena swim-up pool bar and Azúcar lounge bar.

Activity options include non-motorized water sports like snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, and beginner scuba lessons. There's tennis on the property, two swimming pools, a fitness center, the Eternal spa, and golf nearby. Nightlife centers around the nightly live entertainment shows, the Pacha nightclub and the Riu Palace Macao casino.
