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... More

My boyfriend and I booked a 5 day all-inclusive vacation through cheapcaribbean.com. Arriving at the airport we were processed quickly then directed to a passenger van with a driver who did not speak English. We sat there wondering if we were in the right van until others got on so it does help to know Spanish. The people at the... More

This property is behind the Riu Bavaro Palace. If you do your research online before you actually book a vacation, you will get what you pay for. This property is a good 4* - depending on what your expectations are. If you are looking for a smaller, easy access resort, then you hit the spot. If you are looking for... More

The property is situated between Riu Palace and Riu Macau so in comparison - and reality - bare bones, however, it was totally renovated in late 2011. Rooms, grounds and common areas are extremely clean but limited. No where to meander around hand holding and day dreaming... I found the pool area to be a bit too noisy with activities... More

Stayed at the Naiboa for one week, overall it was an okay vacation but we found the food to be average and repetitive...even running out of things on the second and third day. The animation team worked very hard every night but the shows were lacking, I believe due to the small size of the resort. Rooms were well cleaned... More
