The hotel is very outdated but they do a great job cleaning the rooms. Even during the pandemic, when none of the hotels in the US offer a daily cleaning service, here at Riu they cleaned, changed bedding and towels every day- and they did a very good job. The food is ok, not great but ok. The animation is very week- just a couple games a day and no kids club or any activities for kids. The pool are and the beach are clean and the from desk stuff is helpful. Overall not bad for the value.

It’s a very nice hotel, close to the beach. You can stay at the big pool by the hotel if you don’t want to walk for 4-5 min tops. By the pool they have lots of activities, all day long. The food is great, diversified, life cooking stations, fresh fruit every meal. The personnel is very responsive especially if you tip them. You have a bar by the beach also that has drinks and food. The drinks are ok, specific to the island; I personally liked the wine they served at the table. They serve also champagne, beer, all kinds of cocktails.They have a la carte restaurant where you can have dinner. Every evening there is entertainment until midnight. And the beach is fabulous of course.

Terrible hotel staff, service, room and limited selection on all-inclisive

Pros: Free breakfast, Free Internet
Cons: hotel staff service room and drinks and menu
I have been working in Tourism Industry since 1997 and I am a manager at big hotel chain. All I can tell is Terrible hotel staff, service, room and food. Dominican republic is a beautiful place to go but this hotel can make your travel missarable. Staff was the worst. I have never seen such a service in my entire life. I had to changed my room 4 times. Food selection was not enough and most of them was not even taste food. I have never been experienced that kind of terrible in my entire life.

prisoner in paradise

Pros: Free breakfast
Cons: Nothing close, No free Internet, Noisy
I have never stayed at an all inclusive before and it was the equivalent to a cruise ship itinerary-not very fond of those. Basically you could walk up and down the beach to various hotels but you can only eat and drink in your own and they are not very friendly when you are "off your compound" The entertainment nitely was again, corny-like a cruise ship and the daily activities never varied -same "crazy games" every day, same time, same station. The buffets were surprisingly varied but you get tired of eating and drinking eventually.The side trips were very overpriced and of short duration. I have never been to any country where the only local people I met were the hotel staff ; this is not what I travel for- to just meet other tourists and be walled off from the world I have travelled so far to get to. I was shocked to meet people who had returned multiple times to the D.R. only to stay in other similar style hotels. Not my cup of tea obviously

PUNTA_CANA2011

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet
Cons: small rooms a/c doesn't work
You get what you paid, the hotel was recently renovated, the design and colors are very beautiful, the rooms are small, the beds are umcorfortable, they are very simple and the cleaning is very poor. The hotels are all inclusive but you can make reservations of the restaurant available in the other Riu Hotels near Naiboa. The Naiboa has buffet but the food looks the same every day, a lot of cold food and hot ones are steaks some rice and pasta. The swiming pool is ok but the bar is outside in a terrace behind them. They are a lot of European people some of them very rude. The entertainment team tries to entertain the people. You have to walk about 5 mins to get to the beach. Thet have Near the beach a terrace that you can eat and drink. You can walk in the beach and get to the other hotels and some native stores. If you are going to buy something make an offer first don't accept the prices the tell you. Also is a Disco outside the hotel you can enter free but you have to paid the drinks inside th disco is not included. Overall is a beautiful place but the environment

NEEDS RENOVATION BIG TIME!

FRONT DESK PERSONNEL & HOTEL MANAGER UNPROFESSIONAL & NOT FRIENDLY. NO A/C IN LOBBY, LOUNGE OR RESTUARANT. A/C IN THE ROOMS COULD USE SOME FIXING. THE FLOORS ARE EXTREMELY SLIPPERY. THE OUTSIDE RESTROOMS NEED LOTS OF WORK, WATER LEAKS EVERYWHERE WHICH MADE THE FLOORS VERY SLIPPERY, THE TOILETS LEAKED AND THE RESTROOMS COULD USE SOME CLEANING LET ALONE RENOVATIONS. NO SOAP IN THE SOAP DISPENSERS, PAPER TOWELS WERE DAMP. THE BUFFETS HAD FLYS IN & AROUND THE FOOD. THE FOOD WASNT THE BEST. HAD UPSET STOMACH FOR DAYS. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU BRING YOUR OWN SNACKS FOR YOUR TRIP AS THE SNACKS IN THE HOTEL LOBBY ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE. OVERALL THIS HOTEL WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED AT ALL. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS HOTEL. I HAVE TO SAY THE BEACH WAS BEAUTIFUL! THAT WAS THE BEST PART OF MY TRIP OTHER THAN THE MASSAGES BUT A BIT PRICEY.
