Résumé des avis

The magnificent, expansive beach, with its numerous sun loungers and palm trees, is a major highlight. The staff is highly praised for their friendliness, hospitality, and quality of service. The hotel's overall cleanliness and the variety of its buffets are also noted, contributing to a positive experience, complemented by the activities and attractive swimming pools. However, the hotel is sometimes perceived as not meeting five-star standards. Furthermore, it is occasionally mentioned that the rooms appear dated and could use renovations.

Family stay
Séjour en famille

We had a lovely stay; the facilities were clean, the food excellent, the beach beautiful, and the staff attentive. The only downsides were the children's shows and the partygoers everywhere on the property. Not a favorite, but for the price we paid, we were satisfied.

Nous avons passés un beau séjour, les installations sont propres, la nourriture est excellente, la plage est belle et le personnel attentionné. Seuls point négatifs sont les spectacles pour enfants et les fêtards présents partout sur le site. Pas un coup de coeur mais pour le prix payé, nous sommes satisfaits.

Beautiful hotel with plenty of amenities for all ages and tastes!
Bel hôtel avec beaucoup de commodités pour tous les âges et tous les goûts!

Aside from the rooms not being up to 5-star standards and the fact that we were on the 2nd floor with a 4-month-old baby and a stroller (which wasn't practical at all), the RIU Bambu met our needs perfectly with all its amenities and its proximity to all the activities. We had a wonderful week as a family!

Mise à part les chambres qui ne sont pas à l'image d'un 5* et que nous étions au 2e étage avec un bébé de 4 mois donc avec une poussette, ce qui n'est pas pratique du tout, le RIU Bambu fut à la hauteur de nos besoins avec toutes ses commodités et la proximité de toutes les activités. Nous avons passé une superbe semaine en famille!

Very nice site, the staff are courteous
Très beau site le personnel est courtois

We went there for the beach, but there was a huge amount of seaweed, making it very unpleasant to swim.

Nous avons été dessus pour la plage, il y avait énormément d’algues pour se baigner très désagréable

Beautiful stay
Beau séjour

Beautiful complex, however, the downside lies in the rooms and the comfort of the beds. The rooms need renovation.

Beau complexe, cependant la lacune ce situe au niveau des chambres et du confort des lits. Les chambres ont besoin de rénovation.
