Clubhotel Riu Bambu

An introduction to Clubhotel Riu Bambu

Temptingly tropical, fun and friendly, Clubhotel Riu Bambu is the stuff your Dominican holiday dreams are made of. Peeping out beneath the trunks of big bold coconut palms are gorgeous bungalow-style rooms. Splashed with colour, they're furnished with all the mod cons, as well as a few little touches unique to RIU, like a special minibar and spirit dispenser.

So what else can you expect? Well, consider the setting before you do anything else. It's set in a gigantic palm grove and looks out over Bavaro Beach. And trust us when we say these are some sands. Snow white and melting in to turquoise seas – they're the tropical idyll you've been dreaming of. Or, to put it another way, it's a bit like you've been dropped into a giant postcard.

Looking for things to do when you're not sprawled on the sands or smoothing on sun cream by the pool? Then take your pick from tennis, volleyball, windsurfing, sailing, kayaks, canoes…the list is endless. There's a fully-equipped gym, too, plus an indulgent spa for those of you who'd rather just rest up and recharge their batteries. Add to the mix, a sophisticated restaurant serving up tasty buffets, a fabulous swim-up bar and a poolside restaurant and you'll soon see you've arrived in paradise. The only hard bit is going home...
