We (married couple, mid 50s) stayed at the Riu Mambo 17 June to 1 July and had a great time. Initially I was disappointed at not booking and flying with Thomson (extra leg room and back of seat TV) but I have heard from others that Thomson (Monarch flights) are pathetic (major delays in the week we flew out and... more

First time in DR was really excited. Place sure was clean and had a hankering for hygiene! Maids and reception staff very friendly and helpful. 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 stayed at the Hotel Riu Mambo from 15th June – 29th June 2008. It was the best holiday I have had yet by far. Everything about it was perfect (Apart from having to come back home!!!!)

We just returned from the Mambo last night. I've been all over the Carribean but this was my first time to the DR. We researched the resorts extensively over the net, etc. and booked this one for the price. You can use all three RIU's resorts and they are side by side. I'm more adventurous and rented a car, but... more

I'd checked the weather reports for weeks and they said it was raining and thuderstorms all the time. While we were there it rained for one full day and occasionally in... more
