Clubhotel Riu Mambo

An introduction to Clubhotel Riu Mambo

When it comes to locations, they don't come much better than the Riu Mambo. Backed by cushiony-green hills and looking out over a sweep of gold-dust sands, it's got getaway written all over it. And the grounds themselves are just as photogenic, crammed full of swishing trees and lush gardens. Even the attractive chalk-coloured rooms are half hidden by canopies of giant palms. The sight of it all is enough to switch you straight into holiday mode. So once you've unpacked your bags in your restful room with its elegant dark wood furniture and marble bathroom, make a beeline for the sparkling pool. Flanked by plenty of sun beds and an elegant snack bar, it's the perfect chill out spot. And just a couple of steps away are the glittering golden sands – a private stretch of beach shared with its sister hotels the Merengue and Bachata. If you want to step things up a gear, this place is packed with top-notch facilities. Have a go at scuba diving with a lesson in the pool. Glide across the ocean with a spot of sailing. Or don your tennis whites and work on your serve down on the courts. And that's just for starters. Plus you can also check out the activities at your two neighbouring hotels whenever you like. Oh, and don't forget to take a stroll down ' Caribbean Street' while you're here. Shared between the three hotels, this cutesy row of wooden clapboard shops painted in mint greens, ice-cream pinks and sunshine yellows is as Caribbean as they come. As the sun sets, turn your attentions to the delicious cuisine being cooked up here. Pull up a chair in the main buffet restaurant 'Los Almendros' – irresistible with its crisp white tablecloths and beautiful beach views. Or try the a la carte option – with an Italian or steakhouse choice in a covered al fresco setting. Wherever you tuck in, end the day with a rum cocktail in one of the laid-back bars or hit the dance floor in the resort's nightclub. Whether you're hankering for the beach, the pool or heaps of activities – you can do it all at the Mambo. So what are you waiting for?
