Tropical Punta Cana resort hosts leisure programs for kids and adults
Hugged by swaths of palm trees and located within the Riu resort complex, Riu Naiboa – All Inclusive spoils guests with lush grounds and a busy roster of recreational activities. The kid-friendly resort sports 362 rooms decked out with island flair and multiple restaurants and bars for enjoying the beach setting and themed dinners. Late hours lure clubbers to Pasha, the on-site disco.
Highlights
  • All-inclusive Punta Cana resort with balconies and terraces
  • Multiple restaurants and access to eateries at sister hotels
  • Kids' club for children ages 4 to 12
Rooms

Riu Naiboa – All Inclusive embraces tropical décor in all 362 rooms. Tile floors keep feet cool after a long day at the pool or beach, while wicker and wood furniture lend a casual vibe. A palette of green and brown creates a vernal feel throughout, especially in the landscape artwork and green coverlets. Standard amenities run the gamut, including central air, a mini-bar, safe and balcony or terrace for taking in the well-manicured grounds.

Features

Active travelers take advantage of the many leisure programs at Riu Naiboa – All Inclusive. Guests might start with a free Scuba lesson in the pool, then move on to water polo, table tennis or the four tennis courts. Off site, non-motorized water sports like windsurfing, body boarding and kayaking capitalize on the area's best asset: the sparkling ocean waters. A gym, Jacuzzi and fitness center round out the amenities. And just for parents: a supervised kid's club seven days a week for children ages 4 to 12.

Dining

A 24-hour all-inclusive option treats Riu Naibo – All Inclusive guests to meals at multiple restaurants and sister eateries within the Riu complex. Hot and cold buffet items and on-the-spot cooking stations tempt with pasta, fresh fruit, salads, pizza and more, while twice-a-week theme dinners enhance the festive mood at dinnertime. Guests might also make reservations at Caribe Grille at Riu Macao or Grill and steakhouse at ClubHotel Riu Bambu. Come nightfall, the scene amps up with dance music at Pasha.

First time in Punta Cana

We've heard a lot about the beautiful beach in Punta Cana and we confirmed it. Nice white sand beach, huge waves, the whole family love it. Buffet was great, variety of food every meal and the fruits; Papaya, Mangoes, Bananas, Passion fruits, Pineapple to name a few. The only thing missing is an easy access to a gym. They have one but far from the hotel and need upgrade. Instead, we joined the hotels daily exercise activity just to burn out all the calories. I would recommend going to snorkelling trip for 2 hrs instead of going on a whole day trip to an island that to me is a waste of money and time. Our room, although small, is clean. Overall, the whole family enjoyed our short 7 day vacation.

Clean and friendly staff!

This hotel was great but we weren't able to eat or drink at all the rius on the property so we upgraded to the Bavaro after the second night. However, the Naiboa was clean and the staff was awesome! This is NOT a beachfront hotel. This hotel is located behind the Riu Macao. You have to walk down the "carribean street" about 5mins walk to the beach. The pool is great at the Naiboa because its smaller and its close to the Buda bar. Also, the only Riu nightclub "Pacha" is right next door.

Dining tip: In Hotel

You can not eat or drink at the other Rius on the same campus. You can use the pools at the others (Bavaro, Macao, Bambu, and Palace) but you cannot get drinks or have meals there. There are only 3 places to choose from for meals. 1. The buffet which was okay just not a lot of options. 2. The italian a la carte place where you need to make reservations early in the morning. (we didn't do this). 3. Beach front pizza place (AWESOME)!

Ordinary hotel

It was cheap and we got our money's worth. The worst was the food from the buffet. No variety, every night the same thing to eat. An Italian restaurant in the hotel with only two meals, chicken or salmon with no Italian taste. A Steak House restaurant to our availibility at the Riu Bambu but only 20 places allocated for clients of our hotel. After three attempts we finally got a place in this restaurant. You must arrive at 7:00 am at the entrance of the buffet to make your reservation for the dinner they say, but it is false, you have to be there at least, 20 minutes before. But the Steak House is worth.

peut mieux faire

Nous avons passé une semaine au mois aout 2012, nous avons 2 enfants de 7 et 3 ans. La chambre était propre mais il manquait de place pour ranger les habits (6 petits tiroirs). La salle de bain petite mais correcte. La piscine était grande et très pratique car il y avait un coin pour les petits.Dommage que le bar ne soit pas dans la piscine et qu'il faille ressortir de l'eau pour aller chercher une consommation. L'hotel n'est pas en bord de mer direct mais la rue est agréable avec des boutiques tout le long, il faut compter 5 minutes à peine. La plage est magnifique et le restaurant juste devant c'est très pratique et la vue à couper le souffle. Le personnel charmant fait des efforts pour mettre de l'ambiance, ils sont toujours de bonne humeur et c'est plutot agréable. Les moins: le buffet pas assez varié, le bar , la propreté des toilettes de la piscine en fin de journée.
