First, I would like to say we had an amazing trip. My girlfriend and I went to the Riu Mambo hotel, which is one out of three riu resorts located to puerto plata.

I had a very relaxing week at the Riu Mambo. The staff was very friendly, shoutouts to Escaly (our maid) Pedro, Henriquez, Wilson, Tito, Melo (bartenders) , Lidia and Vargas (waiter and waitress) They made both my boyfriend and my stay very pleasurable. Our Sunquest Rep got us to and from the airport in time and was very friendly. The... more

Free access to alcohol in rooms - cool if you like rum, otherwise you gotta walk to the nearest bar - which can be quite a trek when you've got a powerful thirst going! Food... more

We just got back from 7nights in the Riu Mambo and really had a fantastic time! But firstly a couple of negatives out the way: Maybe this is really obvious to most, but we were expecting the sandy white beaches and clear turquoise waters you always see in the pictures of the Caribbean .. but in the Riu hotels of... more

We returned June 14th from this hotel Our family of 4 (two daughters 17 and 19) had a great time. The reort grounds were better than I expected, the staff was great, the food was real good.
