Transfer to the hotel approximately 30minutes.... more

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Bambu from 6/8-6/15/08 for our 5 year wedding anniversary. Although we are easygoing people, I did some massive trip research prior to booking the resort, which included perusing the many review from this website.
