Resorts in the Caribbean

A superb beachfront Resort with a flair for decor and ambiance is located next to the Riu Palace, on a seemingly endless white beach. The name Bambu (bamboo), is a theme which creates a magical and exotic experience. The Morrocan style architecture, with mosaic domes, archways, and white columns with fanned palm trees, adds glamor and distinction, as a fine quality Resort. A magnificent pool with swim up bar shaded by another dome, faces the Caribbean.The lobby is sunshine yellow, with woodwork crafted and carved, and great hanging baskets of ferns and flowers. Comfy wicker and bambo couches covered with banana leaf patterned cushions, and the slow motion of overhead ceiling fans, with the coolness of tiled floors, is a welcoming tropical setting.
