I would love to stay at more expensive places, but I am a thrifty traveler and decided to go with the Naiboa. Lets just say I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. The rooms are hot with flea infested beds. My entire body is covered in flea bites. The AC barely worked. The maids took everything they possible could... more

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel!! Juliana was the greatest at the front desk. She helped us with travel and seeing the nearby city of Higuey. The food was great as was the staff at the hotel. They always got everyone involved in the activities as there was plenty to do at all times. Pacha, the nightclub on... more

There are five hotels on the Riu property in Punta Cana: Riu Bambu, Riu Naiboa, Riu Tiano, Riu Palace Macao, and Riu Palace Punta Cana. When staying at Naiboa--the least expensive of the bunch--guests have access to the pools and lunchtime bars of Naiboa, Tiano, and Bambu. Naiboa is the only hotel of the five without beachfront property. I suppose... more

I stayed at RUI Naiboa for my summer vacation and was very apalled by the conditions of the hotel as well as the condition of the room. The hotel did not look like the pics on the internet. The hotel looked very cheesy. The first hotel room that my friend and I stayed in had mold growing in the closet... more

I took my mom to Rui Naiboa as a Mother's Day gift. I liked the fact that they took your picture upon arrival at the airport. From the time we stepped in the hotel we were treated like royalty. We were greated by Juliana who is the most professional person I have ever met, and she has the prettiest smile... more

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
