We stayed with a party of 16 at this resort for 3 weeks over xmas and we were married on the 26/12/07, the hotel staff who were involved with my wedding gave 101% service for our entire stay.
The rooms.
We were upgraded to a suit at no extra charge and the whole party were in rooms close to ours,

The food
ok most of the time, xmas gala dinner 10 out of 10. Freddie the dining room manager sent food and drinks to our room on my wedding day for myself and bridesmaids he was fantastic!

I would recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a wedding in paradise.

I spent two weeks in the riu mambo with my sister(we are in our 50s) and my parents in their late 70s my mother is disabled, The hotel was wheelchair friendly. we had a fantastic time, there was no pressure to join in activities, the food was outstanding!!!!!. The whole place was very clean There was always a maid with alcohol gel for your hands on entering the resturant and leaving the toilets. You can choose which hotel of three to use except for evening meals. Would definately reccomend this hotel and am hoping to return with my husband next year.

Riu Mambo was great! We stayed there from 06/12/2008 to 06/17/2008. Great pools, excellent service, the staff is very, very helpful. They always called us back to make sure that our requests were fullfilled. We liked the food. Although a la carte restaurants did not impress us, so we prefered to go to the buffet.
We did not like the rooms, but we did not spent time there, only slept. It was very interesting, that air conditioning worked during the day, but did not work during the night. It was like a secret to us, because we heared many people complaining on this.
But the nature there is wonderful! The territory is very beautiful and clean! We definitely will come back!

i thought the RIU MAMBO was a brilliant hotel and holiday and would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a sunny holiday were you can relax or do activities.
i am 18 and went on holiday with my family , my dad mam and 5 yr old brother and i had never been on a all inclusive holiday so wasnt really sure what to expect but i was pleasantly suprised.
i was never bored even before i made friends, the animation team (entertainers) work extremely hard all day long and make u feel very welcome and try to include you in all the games they provide throught out the day.
the nightlife here is also very good with a different show everynight for 2 weeks you are very unlikely to see the same show twice unless you visit an other hotel one evening and they are showing it that night. the nightclub in the resort was very good with a variety of music but discotours were done twice a week to the local club cocobongo in the neighbouring resort and is just for a small cost but is highly recommended.
the rooms were very good, they had everything you need for the time you spend in them, beds tv shower bath n a balcony, the maids keep them exceptionally clean and always leave a towel design for you to return to e,g, a swan
the food was gorgeous and ther was something to pick from for everyone with different things on offer everynight and day. i dont eat alot of different food bt i always found something to eat!
the drinks also wer lovely da waiters were more than happy to make anything you wanted and ther was a different special for you to try everyday, they only thing to be carfeul of is it you have spirits in your drink they put alot in so it doesnt take much to feel tipsy so jus watch how much they put in n ask if you would like less!!
my little brother also throughtly enjoyed the holiday and i would recommend it to familys with all age children ther was a kids club on twice a day with childrens disco's most nights in the mambo, also we noticed that most children wer at the mambo and not many at the other to hotels, the kids club offered different trips, including the zoo and a beach walk and did different themed days to keep the children occupied!
I am returning at the end of the year with people i met on the holiday so obv would highly recommend it to anyone!!!
