The Riu Naiboa is a clean hotel with friendly staff. the room was basic but also clean. Plenty choice of food at breakfast, lunch and evening meals.(Note:Men must wear trousers at evening meals) Bavaro itself has a beautiful beach where we spent most our days. The Naiboa is set back from the beach and is only a 5-10 minute walk... more

We stayed at Riu Naiboa for a week. We are a couple with a 1 year child (at that moment). it was 2 years ago, but i think it would be useful for someone. at first i want to say that we failed chosing copa because we arrived in Santo Domingo, and the travel to Punta Cana was awful. Weather... more

I came back from my Vacation 2 weeks ago, it was really a fun filled packed vacation with lots to do and see. I agree with a previous review, Juliana at the front desk was amazing, always very friendly and helpful, she became more like a friend than the Front Desk Receptionist. The weather was HOT HOT HOT, Beach was... more

The all-inclusive Riu Resort in Punta Cana were our accommodations for a long President's Day weekend trip. The property is comprised of two super swanky hotels (Palace Punta Cana and Palace Macao) and three less deluxe (Naiboa, Taino, and Bambu). The Niaboa is the least expensive of the five, and we thought it was an amazing deal. At arrival we... more

Hotel very busy, no available lounges by the pool, room had no air conditioning, front desk said they can switch us to a "suite" for an additional $50 paid directly to the worker. The "suite" was just awful, bugs in bathroom, moldy and room smelled horrible --- needless to say we checked out after 2 days --- I could not... more

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
