Our Opinion of Riu Naiboa

Unlike most of the other Riu Resorts, the Riu Naiboa is more on the lower end of the scale and could use some renovations. We have heard that these renos are coming soon, but until then it would probably be better to pick one of the other Riu Resorts in the area. The rooms at the Naiboa are getting old and worn down and the public washrooms and elevators are often closed. Its usually good value at this resort, but until the renos are complete its probably better to steer clear.

"Basic but very clean and you have access to the other hotels in the resort. Be aware that most other guests do not speak English. This is a mostly European resort. It took us three days to meet people who spoke English."
