An iconic beachfront retreat, the ClubHotel Riu Bambu stands as a vibrant oasis along the stunning Arena Gorda beach in Punta Cana, where fine, white sand meets the mesmerizing turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Arriving at the resort, guests are greeted by a breathtaking lobby; its spacious design is accentuated by tasteful palm motifs and a bright palette that instantly evokes the warm island atmosphere. Here, the soothing sound of water cascading from contemporary fountains melds with the scent of coconut and the sea breeze, setting a welcoming tone for the stay. Beyond this enchanting entrance, the property reveals its exceptional offerings: 1,000 exquisitely appointed rooms, multiple dining venues showcasing global cuisines-from gourmet Italian to authentic Dominican fare-and an expansive selection of bars, including not one but two swim-up bars.
