We can only acho what has already been said by some people who had the horrible experience of the 'locals' invading us for a full weekend! We had thought the resort OK up to that point, we had no real complaints other than the food was very repetative and the awful wine and watered down beer! however we made the... More

Went to the Riu Mambo for a week. Take $30 American money for arrival and departure taxes at the airport. Hotel is about 40 minutes from the airport. Check-in was a breeze. Hannsell at the front desk is a sweetie. They have adapters at the front desk for a deposit. Getting an extra room key also takes a deposit. Plan... More

We stayed at the Riu Mambo for one week. Our first night there, we ran into several people who were on their 5-6th visit to the Mambo. These were single people, couples, and families from Canada, the US, and Europe. They said they return to the Mambo frequently because of the friendly staff in particular. There are reviews on here... More

Stayed at the Riu Mambo from April 12th to 19th. Beautiful place great staff, but I was sick most of the time. I don't know what did it but was sick 5 out of the 7 days. I've been to Dominican before and Jamaica twice and never sick before. Once we got back to Toronto my truck had been stolen... More

I travel south at least twice a year and this is the very first time that I have found it necessary to complain about my experience. Once we arrived... More

Arrived at resort at noon. Envelope with door key, towel cards etc waiting for us. Our room was ready so no waiting until 3pm to get our room. None of the Riu lobby's had bars. At first I found that odd, but there are numerous bars throughout all 3 resorts. Bars with four side service,much better then a single side... More

We stayed here for five nights 4/22-4/27. Although not the rainy reason, we had plenty of it. We were lucky enough that the rain held off until evenings (usually after dinner) but it was torrential downpours when it came. And, it lasted all night long. Several rooms on the lower level flooded but luckily not ours. Regardless of rain, it... More

We went to the Riu Mambo in April 2012. It was a family holiday, myself, hubby, daughter, son in law and 2 grand children aged 2 and 7. The place was very clean and very well maintained. The rooms were clean and the cleaners did a great job. A word of warning though, on the first night when we arrived... More
