It was so beautiful there, and we would love to go back!! The thing is you cant really leave the resort, at least we didnt, as its kind of dangerous too. You have to stay within your resort. The good thing is if you stay at the Riu, there are 4 other Riu resorts you have access too!, so you... more

The price for our stay at Riu Naiboa was excellent. The location was great and the beaches were beautiful. We stayed at the Riu Naiboa in May 2007. The most important thing to remember is that the Riu Naiboa is an older hotel. It's frequently listed as a 4 star and it's not. It's a 3 star at best. The... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Riu Resort for 5 days, 4 nights. There are 5 hotels situated within the resort, we stayed at the Naiboa... one of the more reasonably priced hotels. The 2 "palace" hotels are the more extravagent hotels. While the Naiboa isn't the nicest hotel of the lot, it was still a good hotel that... more

My husband & I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Punta Cana. We stayed at the Riu Naiboa, but honestly spent most of our time at the Riu Taino or Riu Bambu pool and grounds. The Naiboa is a great place to stay for the price, but it's a little further away from all of the festivities...which isn't... more

We really enjoyed the Riu Naiboa. It was our first vacation to ourselves since having our daughter. As soon as we arrived, we had a quick check in, which was great after a long trip. ROOMS: We checked out our room, which was not entirely ready. However, it was still clean, and our room was overlooking the pool. You could... more

Rooms..... old, run down, need renovations,... more

Ola! My wife and I stayed here Mar 16-23, 2008. We loved it. The food was great. Restaurant reservations were not always easy to get, get up early to have a good chance, like 6:00am. Italian was okay but Steakhouse was awesome! In the end the buffet had more than enough to choose from, so don't worry if you miss... more

We stayed at this hotel six years ago and absolutely loved it. Although I still really like the Riu property, they clearly haven't touched the hotel in the six years since we have been there. The hotel lobby as well as the rooms looked shabby- though let's face it you don't spend much time in the room anyway. What was... more

My husband and I went to the RIU Naiboa for our first real vacation without our children.....we were treated wonderfully by the Naiboa staff and would definitely recommend this to anyone travelling on a budget. The food was excellent....buffet meals three times a day with a huge variety of foods to suit everyones tastes. My favourite was the fresh pineapple....ate... more
