Apple Vacations sale featuring RIU Hotels & Resorts started today! In addition to the great package pricing we have, here are some highlights of RIU Resorts in Punta Cana, The Bahamas and Costa Rica.

In Punta Cana:
The “new” Riu Bambu re-opens on June 13th, 2010 as a new family focused hotel with a “RiuLand” kids’ club. They will also have family rooms, which are family of 5 friendly. They have special pricing for these rooms: 1st child is free in the family room and the 2nd and 3rd child are 50% off. If you do not need a family room, the regular deluxe room has 2 kids STAY, PLAY & EAT FREE for kids 12 years and under. When they re-open, all the rooms at Riu Bambu will have been refurbished. There will also be a new Asian and Italian restaurant and a sports bar with game tables and flat screen TVs. Sounds like a fun place for families! Also, Riu Bambu has free exchange privileges with Riu Taino & Riu Naiboa.

Riu Palace Macao for July and August arrivals is offering a free upgrade to a Superior Room, where you will receive a better tropical view!

naturaJust because you need to stick to a budget, does not mean you have to sacrifice! I colleague of mine wanted to surprise a friend with a long weekend in the Caribbean. She had a specific budget to stick to and wanted to make it work. I searched around and found 3 nights in Punta Cana at Natura Park for less than $1,000.00 for two people (from Philly). When we added the taxes on it came right in at the budget. They just got back and gave me a review.

Punta Cana was a beautiful Island with friendly people. The Apple Vacations folks could not be nicer or more professional. We were very pleased. The hotel was nice. I wasn’t expecting much since the rate was so good, but we were pleasantly surprised. We booked our tours from the Apple desk so I didn’t worry about that. My room was clean and spacious and our A/C and plumbing were working just fine. The beach was fabulous! It’s in a natural setting next to a nature reserve, something the other hotels don’t have since they are all in a row. I would go back!
