The hotel was chosen based on reviews. But as it turned out specifically in this hotel, they need to be sifted through a sieve. The hotel staff brazenly ignore all requests for cleaning the hotel beach. For 4 days, just a large Chinese wall of algae formed on the beach and the same situation at the entrance to the sea.

To come to the Dominican Republic and not get into the sea is too much. The Dominican expression "manana" (everything is fine) is just infuriating. The hotel is not worth going to. I won't recommend him to anyone. A special "thank you" to the staff of the Anex tour and the host in the Dominican Republic, who, instead of resolving the issue with the hotel (I think there are clauses in the contract that could call the hotel to common sense), they offer to move to another hotel for a very rather big surcharge .

As always, a true review (we rested in May 2021), let's go)) Room: we settled ahead of time without any additional payments (did not even hint), we changed the room due to the fact that the air conditioner was very buzzing in the first room. They replaced it right away, no extra charge. The room is not the first freshness, but everything worked.

As always, a true review (we rested in May 2021), let's go))
Room: we settled ahead of time without any additional payments (did not even hint), we changed the room due to the fact that the air conditioner was very buzzing in the first room. They replaced it right away, no extra charge. The room is not the first freshness, but everything worked. The bed was changed every day (cleaned normally). The bar was filled every other day +/-, but the water is delivered without problems.
For those who expect to see the hotel’s business card in the room - bottles of alcohol, then I will disappoint, this is no longer there (coronavirus, however).
Yes, there the equipment in the bathroom (toilet, for example) works specifically, do not rush to complain that it is broken, just ask to be shown how it works.
Internet: excellent, caught everywhere (both in the room and on the beach as well), even partially on the territory of other hotels.
Territory: of all RIUs (by the way, you can use the infrastructure of all hotels), I liked the BAMBU territory the most, green, beautiful, well-groomed, comfortable.
Staff: a couple of times the guy at the reception was out of sorts, but I didn’t notice outright rudeness, everyone is smiling (for $ 5, anyway))). They poured what they asked for and how much they asked for, in general - an offset.
Restaurants: we didn’t use a la carte, the main restaurant was quite suitable, there were always places, we didn’t have to wait a long time for a table or service (in a la carte, they say, you have to wait). I liked the food, not super varied, but there was always meat, fish, fruits, vegetables. You definitely won't leave hungry.
Beach: here, as they say, the situation is specific....What they write about algae is true (I myself was indignant at how the algae were “cleaned up”. But after going all the coast to the cape, I realized that our situation is still far from the worst. In fact, the RIU PALACE beach (we went there) is one of It turned out to be the most acceptable for swimming, if not for the algae - just heavenly beaches, very beautiful, and the color of the ocean is beautiful. But no luck. By the way, it should be noted that the beach was still removed (the algae were both taken out and buried with a bulldozer, but still ineffective) Eh…
Will we come back here again - most likely not (because the world is very big and you need to know it). Do I recommend RIU - yes.

Normal hotel. Of course, like any hotel has its drawbacks, but they are few, they are almost invisible. For its price category is fully consistent. Everything is simple but convenient. And it is comfortable to stay in this hotel. I must say right away by the numbers we took the deluxe room. Nice room in good condition.

Normal hotel. Of course, like any hotel has its drawbacks, but they are few, they are almost invisible. For its price category is fully consistent. Everything is simple but convenient. And it is comfortable to stay in this hotel. I must say right away by the numbers we took the deluxe room. Nice room in good condition. Everything is very simple and in principle everything is there except for the kettle. In principle, we don’t drink coffee in the morning, so we didn’t care. But many people cannot live without coffee at all, so I specifically mark this point) We were more seduced by the presence of free Internet throughout the hotel. Separate bathroom. Washbasins are in the room. Which is also a little unusual, but it does not cause inconvenience. Free safe and mini bar. Water and beer in the mini bar. The mini bar is updated every two days. Despenser for 4 drinks. There is an ironing board and iron. Cleaned normally and bedding in good condition. Another comfortable big bed. In general, the number seems to be everything) Good food without frills. From meat chicken, beef, pork. In different types of cooking and fried and stewed and just sliced. Large selection of side dishes and cuts. Fish, mussels, squid rings. Pretty good selection of fruits. Prepare pasta, pizza, various local dishes such as paella. In general, everything is delicious. Of course, they make omelettes and pancakes for breakfast. There are no shortcomings in the variety of drinks. Also pay attention to the beach. The beach itself is good, a lot of sunbeds, but the trouble is that although there are quite a lot of palm trees on the beach, you still need to look for places in the shade. We knew about all the nuances of the hotel from our travel agent, an excellent professional, his advice about the country was very helpful and we saved a lot, and it took about ten minutes to select the right hotel for us. In general, qualitatively and quickly) One where there are houses with numbers and the second is taken closer to the beach where the pools are all the infrastructure and activity. The area is beautiful and very green. You can walk along the paths between the buildings and at the same time everything is at hand. In conclusion, I can only say that the hotel is worth the money.

The RIU network was advised by a travel agency. Chose on a budget between rio naiboa and rio bamba. They are located nearby, as a result we chose a bamboo as it is closer to the beach. We arrived and were seated quickly without any problems. The room is good, but it doesn’t pull on 5 *, it’s a clean four.

The territory is beautiful, large, you can walk around the neighboring hotels of the chain. It's almost on the beach. The food is just super, seafood, fruits in any quantity, the menu is varied.
Get a room with an ocean view, you won't regret it. The beach is full of large and small palm trees, with white sand is just super.

True, the service is purely Dominican) But this is an ordinary hotel and not with VIP service, but as those who rested in the Dominicans know the service here is peculiar. But we are going to the Dominican Republic for the sake of nature, and if there are any shortcomings, then you can safely close your eyes to them. And so about the beach. There are many palm trees but no umbrellas at all. There is enough shade from the palm trees, which is probably why the hotel does not put them. By the way, it adds more exotic). The beach is clean and cleaned regularly. The bar is also close to the beach, no need to run far. It is also very good that there are more sunbeds than vacationers and there is no need to look for free ones. The hotel area is not huge but green. It is very convenient that it is, as it were, divided into 2 parts, where the one that is closer to the beach is where all the activity takes place, and on the other hand, the number of rooms. And the animation doesn't get in the way. Yes, you can also walk around the territory of neighboring hotels of this complex. The presence of the Internet was quite important. Here the Internet catches everywhere even in the rooms. That for hotels of this price category is quite rare. And even if sometimes it knocks out of the network, but the speed is quite good. This is not the first time we have used the services of a personal travel agent Dmitry Kukin and he always takes into account all our wishes. And on excursions he will prompt and give useful recommendations where it is cheaper to buy locally. And the selection of the tour takes no more than twenty minutes. He has many recommendations from his clients, you can find his page on the VKontakte social network by finding him there by name. If the main thing for you on vacation is the availability of good food, then here you should not worry at all. You can eat around the clock. The food is very varied and even a la carte restaurants without an appointment. The only thing to be careful when you make cocktails. You need to say what kind of alcohol you pour there. So as not to add low quality. In general, the choice of alcohol is quite good. In terms of entertainment, I give the hotel an excellent rating. There were foam parties and good evening shows that you should definitely go to. Lots of activities during the day. Dancing, competitions, volleyball, darts, mini-golf, etc. It is possible to visit a casino or a nightclub. They are part of the complex of this network. In general, there is enough entertainment! So the hotel has everything for a comfortable stay without worries!

Rested in July 2018
We stayed in July 2018 with a friend.
We booked through Pegas Tourist and flew with Nordwind Airlines.
The plane is clean, not loose, but very cramped. On that day, the flight was for 500 people, there weren’t enough blankets for everyone and we had to wrap ourselves in sweaters and jackets. they carry in an unlimited number. My advice is to take food from home.
We arrived at 6:00 am and were at the hotel by 9:00 am.
At the reception there is a fixed price (but not official) -20 bucks and you are settled in a cozy, clean room with a good view (and this is not unimportant, because there are rooms overlooking the road and fenced with a scary prickly fence). As a result, in the room, decorated with balloons and fresh flowers, we entered already at 11 o'clock, so my advice is not to spare money and check in earlier.
The hotel is fresh, it can be seen that only after renovation. Stylish, clean and bright. Each bar is made in its own style, everywhere rattan wicker furniture, with leather seats.
The number of rooms also impressed, the rooms are spacious.
In the room: ironing board and iron, sockets can be used without adapters! There are no bathrobes and slippers.
Replenishment of the minibar-1 every two days, but we replenished almost every day. In the minibar-liter bottles: whiskey, vodka, gin and rum. 3 liter bottles of water, 4 bottles of soda and 4 cans of beer.
Bed linen is changed every 3 days, but if you take it off and throw it on the floor (the same applies to towels), they will change it on the same day
I was very worried when I read reviews about the restaurant and food. In fact, it turned out completely differently - the food is simply amazing !! ! Seafood (in what form they are not there! ) - crabs, shrimp, mussels, squids, red fish, red caviar !!
Fruits - papaya, mango, passion fruit, watermelons, melons!
A la carte restaurants can be visited free of charge and without an appointment.
The waiters are really very slow, like all the residents living in this country.
Not everyone speaks English, I won’t even talk about Russian, the main language there is Spanish.
Beach. In summer, the ocean is stormy, and the entire coastline is covered with algae, yes, it spoils the view, but if you fly in the summer, then you should be prepared for this, because even in the Caribbean Sea (Saona Island) they are also present.
The sand on the beach is white, the ocean is very warm, but you won’t be able to fully enjoy this atmosphere, because at the entrance to the ocean you are enveloped in sargas.
At the time of our stay, the hotel was 90% full, but the beach is so huge that sometimes it feels like there are 10 people in the hotel besides you.
Weather. They say that summer is not the season. The air warmed up to 35-40 degrees every day, periodically in the evenings there were tropical rains, maximum 20 minutes long, and after 5 minutes everything dried up and did not even smell of rain.
Animation. Since I myself worked in the Turkish animation team for a year, I can safely say that in Turkey such animators would have been fired long ago) But! It all depends on how you used to relax yourself, music is constantly playing by the pool and on the beach, animators invite you to dance, everywhere Spanish tunes sound, foreigners do not hesitate to spend their time in passionate dances, while spreading in the widest smile. Darts, volleyball, ping pong, mini golf competitions are held during the day.
In the evening, a mini disco for children, and adult entertainment shows, animation is open until 23.30.
After that, all young people go to the Pacha disco club (entrance is free for all visitors to the riu hotel chain, drinks inside are paid, from $ 5)
In conclusion, I can say that I have traveled to many countries, and there is something to compare with: the Maldives, the United Arab Emirates, the Rixos hotel chain in Turkey.
The hotel is not inferior in terms of its performance, service and quality of food.
The holiday turned out to be very eventful.
And do not read the negative reviews, everyone has everything individually. We returned absolutely delighted!

We rested in the hotel together with my husband, we were able to get out on vacation only six months after the wedding. So we can call our trip "honey weekend". And the weekend really turned out to be honey. The flight took 12 hours without delays at the airport and other rigmarole, back even faster than 11. The transfer is very fast, they were treated to cold drinks at the reception, taken to the room and brought things. All the fuss in the hotel took no more than 10 minutes and here we are in our magical room with a magnificent view of a piece of the ocean through the palm thickets. The ocean is not particularly visible, but the evening noise of the waves and the ocean breeze is something! Room in the second building, next to all the benefits of civilization: a restaurant, swimming pools, close to the reception and a stone's throw from the beach. But on the other hand, no noisy animation is heard in the evening and you can fully enjoy nature, and wake up in the morning under the rays of the rising sun breaking through the greenery)). If there is heaven on earth, then it is in the Dominican Republic. Deluxe room with one huge bed, a mini-bar and a dispenser with 4 types of alcohol, good shower and body care products, a lot of fresh towels and constantly changing bedding. There was a small nuance with the replenishment of the mini-bar, they could not report anything. We resolved the issue quickly. We caught the one who cleaned up with us, gave us a bunch of small bucks, and never returned to this topic again. Everything was always in full, and even more. The staff is incredibly friendly and cheerful, but impossibly slow, but it looks even cute)). When gardeners or cleaners, slowly, humming and dancing, do their work, it seems that they do not even notice those around them. Some kind of unknown world where we are all welcome guests. Animators could also start singing or dancing for no reason, infecting everyone around with their cheerfulness and ease. We were completely delighted with the whole atmosphere of the resort, and of course the hotel itself took an important part in our vacation. And the hotel is simply crammed with all sorts of entertainment. In addition to stormy animation, foam parties in the pool, Pacha disco, free WI-FI throughout the territory, including the nome, there are a lot of free and paid water activities, pools with a jacuzzi area, sports fields, tennis courts with night lighting, a sauna and it's all free . Casino for nightlife, excellent spa and shops for all tastes, with not too high prices. Food, those who write that there is nothing to eat and all salads with pasta, guys, maybe you were in the wrong hotel? Seafood every day, stewed, several times huge shrimp, and even oysters in a creamy sauce. A whole pork leg, from which you can cut a piece of any size, ice cream in buckets and incredibly tasty, fruits at any time of the day, 8 types, but I don’t see the point in talking about vegetables, cheeses and sausages. In bars, alcoholic rivers and fresh banks. I cut the coconut directly from the palm trees and insert a tube into it, and it's almost for nothing. I can’t even imagine what else you could wish for, black caviar or something, but this is already in a different class of hotels. Left the beach for last. It is incredibly beautiful, there are plenty of sun loungers anywhere. The sand is snow-white, the ocean is transparent, warm and heavenly in color. We liked the place on the beach, where young palm trees grow. We put sun beds under them, it was very romantic. We fell in love with the hotel and will visit this charming place again and again.

Great place to relax. The food is delicious and varied (meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits), you definitely will not stay hungry. There are 5 a la carte restaurants on site, where you can eat for free and without an appointment. The bars are open from 10:00-23:00, which is quite enough, but if you want to continue, there is a free bar in the room (whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, beer, pepsi, mineral water, tonic).

The beach is wonderful, the greenest of the entire Riou network along the coast, instead of umbrellas, a palm grove, which distinguishes the hotel from the rest, where umbrellas are like in Egypt and there is no feeling that you are in the tropics. There are enough sun loungers for everyone, a bar is nearby, the beach is cleaned, everything is ok.
The territory is well-groomed and green.
You can walk all over the Riu chain and go to any hotel, even the restaurant of this hotel.
We were very satisfied!

Hello dear tourists, as well as all those interested.
I join all the positive reviews and do not understand those who did not have enough food or attention, entertainment or booze. Just an abundance of dishes, all kinds of side dishes, six types of ice cream, according to the system, put it yourself in your bucket. And the main coveted attribute of the Ruso-tourist is SHRIMP!! ! eat every day, twice a week chilled tiger as a separate dish, and every day in a cauldron stewed with vegetables with squid and mussels or periodically stewed with oysters in cream on the fish table. In bars, nothing was ever expected by a maximum of one tourist in front of you, if there are more people, then 6-8 bartenders immediately come up. The territory of the main pool was reconstructed. Now these are three large rectangular pools with sunbeds, and in the pool with a bar there are also underwater banquettes and tables.
Around the pools there is constant animation, not intrusive, exciting and fun. Also, animators or bartenders periodically begin to spontaneously dance, sing or rap, but as soon as people grab their cameras, the phenomenon resolves. The beach is beautiful, just walk to the neighboring Iberostar or save bayia beach. you will immediately understand the difference. It’s good that we didn’t go to these hotels, rightly judging by the reviews - the main thing in a vacation in the Dominican Republic is the azure sea-ocean, white sand and luxurious palm trees bizarrely similar to giant mushrooms.
Internet wi-fi, free throughout the hotel works quickly. On the territory in the room and on the beach. Come to the reception, to any administrator, he takes your phone, call the room number, and the administrator himself connects everything.
Slightly lowered the rating for the hotel accommodation category, put 5-, we got a strange room. You enter the door in front of you a mirror.
You pass to the right, everything is fine in the room - two twin lorries, a safe, a refrigerator, an iron and an ironing board. Above the refrigerator, as I called it Buhlonaccounter. But right in front of the bed is the entrance to the bathroom, if you go to the tub at night, then turn on the light that illuminates the beds through the open door and the ventilation will turn on. That is, it is impossible not to wake each other up. Why they didn’t make the entrance to the bathroom classically, from the corridor, and didn’t hang a mirror over the chest of drawers, we didn’t understand, because women need to put on makeup in front of the mirror, and so the spouse takes lipstick, runs into the corridor, back for mascara, for a comb, in general, a joke, you will say that you can paint in the bathroom, at the mirror, yes, and no, there are no countertops, two sinks are installed, and there is little room between them. But these are trifles, we had plenty of scoffing at the designer, and quickly stopped noticing the inconvenience.
A big hello to your beloved Pegasus for the VIP tour to Saona Island.
Contrary to the promises of the hotel guide, the bus was replaced by a mikrik, more like a gazelle. In the city of artists, there is no smell of artists, not a single painting is exhibited. Around the city of millionaires, so as not to see us, the millionaires built a bypass road and a checkpoint at the entrance, there are no pitchforks of Shakira and Bill Gates to see. There are no sea stars. Tourists exterminated everyone, and besides, now, a law has come into force, according to which a fine of $ 600 for getting a star, and if it dies, three months in prison. Police officers in civilian clothes are put on the boats, who are watching the tourists. A strange person sat down in ours, who did not talk to anyone and did not appear on the return catamaran. Lies about the lobster, one whole per person was promised, but they gave a cut lobster carcass across, that is, to eat half the tail of a giant shrimp without claws.
In addition, the meat was loose and not tasty, probably the lobsters were of the second or even third freshness, while the key to the delicious taste of any seafood is freshness. Of course, we were not deprived of the main thing. Interesting stories of the guide, a gorgeous island and super pictures. Maybe we just don't understand foreign words? For example, is there a Naiboa hotel in the RIO system? and as an alternative in Russian-Pegasus-Dominican, the word VIP should probably be understood as "The Adventures of Pinocchio".
I will touch on the theme of the flight in the review. She was very worried about us, we also need to get 1000 km to Moscow. In order to brighten up the need to spend four days of vacation on the road, they paid extra for a business class flight, but in reviews not on hotels, not on aviation forums, descriptions of the services provided by the North Wind airline were not found. I'll tell you a little.
At Sheremetyevo, at check-in, they give vouchers that look like boarding passes, you can go to the Galaktika or Cosmos business lounge, and then when the flight was announced to be delayed by 30 minutes, we switched to the second. The halls are similar. There were fewer people in Space, and he himself was smaller, we serve snacks ourselves, the bartender pours drinks, there were a lot of people in the Galaxy and complete self-service. On board the aircraft, the seats are luxurious, each seat in a separate booth folds out 180 * in pastel. They give out slippers, ear plugs, a blanket, a pillow, a toothbrush with paste, an eye patch, a sponge and a shoehorn. It makes no sense to pay for choosing a place in advance. Previously, the planes belonged to the EVA AIR airline and the multimedia entertainment system has not yet been reprogrammed, there is no Russian language, so they didn’t give out headphones, of course you can use your own, but then the sound is heard only in one ear. Phone charger 110V. or USB.
Food in flight 2 times, surprisingly tasty, the stewardess comes and offers three hot dishes to choose from. Served on ceramic dishes, metal appliances, glass goblets. Drinks are served without restrictions as well as alcoholic. There is a video on youtube at the link https://youtu. be/qufg7wgtfoM. On the way back, they didn’t give vouchers at the Punta Cana airport, the guide said that the Business Lounge was only for an additional fee even for business class passengers, but they couldn’t verify this statement, as they tasted and chose various varieties of rum from the imposing Dutik sellers, in As a result, only to landing and ripened. But they brought delicious outlandish drinks to the New Year's table.
In the end, it is worth mentioning the inevitable question of comparing a trip to the Dominican Republic with Turkey and Egypt. This question was of interest to us and to us upon our return, it is constantly asked by household members and acquaintances.
The absolute advantage of the Domenicana is white sand beaches and a turquoise ocean, the quality of alcohol, cheeses and other semi-finished meat products, exotic fruits. Refusal to buy souvenirs in a gift shop or beach vendor only causes locals to smile, not curse in gibberish. And what kind of music? It's impossible not to dance. The hotel staff leaves a good impression, there is no this infamous intimate concern for the female sex, although maybe only I found a plus in this?
At the same time, when it comes to assessing the level of service, it is worth noting that the cost for a standard in Rio Bambu varies depending on demand, ranging from 130 to 180 euros per day, for Turkey, and even more so for Egypt, it is very expensive, whatever Dolphin palazzo, but we haven’t been there, but what a good idea we need to go and compare, and fly with Aeroflot and business class, from St. Petersburg, it’s more convenient for us from St. Petersburg to take the Lastochka train twice a day, who doesn’t know, Aeroflot received this on December 11.2017 called the tourist Oscar, including in the nomination of the best business class, oh, I dreamed? How much money is needed? I’m finishing my writing, and I’ll go to work on a new vacation to earn money.
I join all the positive reviews and do not understand those who did not have enough food or attention, entertainment or booze. Just an abundance of dishes, all kinds of side dishes, six types of ice cream, according to the system, put it yourself in your bucket. And the main coveted attribute of the Ruso-tourist is SHRIMP!! ! eat every day, twice a week chilled tiger as a separate dish, and every day in a cauldron stewed with vegetables with squid and mussels or periodically stewed with oysters in cream on the fish table. In bars, nothing was ever expected by a maximum of one tourist in front of you, if there are more people, then 6-8 bartenders immediately come up. The territory of the main pool was reconstructed. Now these are three large rectangular pools with sunbeds, and in the pool with a bar there are also underwater banquettes and tables.
Around the pools there is constant animation, not intrusive, exciting and fun. Also, animators or bartenders periodically begin to spontaneously dance, sing or rap, but as soon as people grab their cameras, the phenomenon resolves. The beach is beautiful, just walk to the neighboring Iberostar or save bayia beach. you will immediately understand the difference. It’s good that we didn’t go to these hotels, rightly judging by the reviews - the main thing in a vacation in the Dominican Republic is the azure sea-ocean, white sand and luxurious palm trees bizarrely similar to giant mushrooms.
Internet wi-fi, free throughout the hotel works quickly. On the territory in the room and on the beach. Come to the reception, to any administrator, he takes your phone, call the room number, and the administrator himself connects everything.
Slightly lowered the rating for the hotel accommodation category, put 5-, we got a strange room. You enter the door in front of you a mirror.
You pass to the right, everything is fine in the room - two twin lorries, a safe, a refrigerator, an iron and an ironing board. Above the refrigerator, as I called it Buhlonaccounter. But right in front of the bed is the entrance to the bathroom, if you go to the tub at night, then turn on the light that illuminates the beds through the open door and the ventilation will turn on. That is, it is impossible not to wake each other up. Why they didn’t make the entrance to the bathroom classically, from the corridor, and didn’t hang a mirror over the chest of drawers, we didn’t understand, because women need to put on makeup in front of the mirror, and so the spouse takes lipstick, runs into the corridor, back for mascara, for a comb, in general, a joke, you will say that you can paint in the bathroom, at the mirror, yes, and no, there are no countertops, two sinks are installed, and there is little room between them. But these are trifles, we had plenty of scoffing at the designer, and quickly stopped noticing the inconvenience.
A big hello to your beloved Pegasus for the VIP tour to Saona Island.
Contrary to the promises of the hotel guide, the bus was replaced by a mikrik, more like a gazelle. In the city of artists, there is no smell of artists, not a single painting is exhibited. Around the city of millionaires, so as not to see us, the millionaires built a bypass road and a checkpoint at the entrance, there are no pitchforks of Shakira and Bill Gates to see. There are no sea stars. Tourists exterminated everyone, and besides, now, a law has come into force, according to which a fine of $ 600 for getting a star, and if it dies, three months in prison. Police officers in civilian clothes are put on the boats, who are watching the tourists. A strange person sat down in ours, who did not talk to anyone and did not appear on the return catamaran. Lies about the lobster, one whole per person was promised, but they gave a cut lobster carcass across, that is, to eat half the tail of a giant shrimp without claws.
In addition, the meat was loose and not tasty, probably the lobsters were of the second or even third freshness, while the key to the delicious taste of any seafood is freshness. Of course, we were not deprived of the main thing. Interesting stories of the guide, a gorgeous island and super pictures. Maybe we just don't understand foreign words? For example, is there a Naiboa hotel in the RIO system? and as an alternative in Russian-Pegasus-Dominican, the word VIP should probably be understood as "The Adventures of Pinocchio".
