Riu Naiboa

Ok, so lets start with, I read the reviews after we booked and was a little worried about the Hotel, but I was concerned for no reason whatsoever, the Hotel is absolutely fantastic! Good points; The food is just wonderful, tons of fresh fruit, we always had full wine glasses, the soups, the salads, the mains, all fantastic, they cater for everyones tastes, so for breakfast, Tea, coffee, Eggs every way, spanish omelets, bacon, sausage, pancakes porridge, lunch well too much to describe and Dinner, I never went hungry or sober! lol The room was very clean, a little outdated, but clean, beds were comfy, TV needs some UK news, but we were on holiday so who cares, plus free wifi means you can use your phone for news updates, the shower was clean, with free complimentary soap and shower gel, clean towels everyday if you wanted them! Air con was spot on set at 22c which was cold & warm enough, it was 38c outside! The Pool was beautiful, surrounded by Palm trees with covered areas to get out of that midday sun, the pool and surrounding areas were always clean and well maintained. Budas bar, by the pool was a great bar, you could sit in or get a drink to sit by the pool with, friendly staff, I always tried to order in Spanish, which I think you should as its friendly, so what if you get it wrong, as long as you get a drink! Water polo was fun, and I really enjoyed meeting all the other Nations that played! Caribbean street is a slight mark on the site, everything is very expensive cigarette papers were $5 a pack £0.60p at home so a massive mark up, the sellers left us alone in the main, but I will never shop there again!! The beach is a 5 minute walk, but well worth it, the beach bar is great, you can sit and watch the world go by with a beer in the shade and you can have lunch here too!! We never saw the entertainment, as it started too late and we were a little tipsy by 8.30pm most days! So now a couple of not so good things; There are a lot of mosquitoes, now they dont wear Riu shirts, there will always be mossies, but I normally do not get bitten, I had 29 bites in total, but my poor GF had 39 on one leg! and nothing we did stopped them, a solution for the hotel is to have a total enclosed area for drinks and entertainment, but you will still get some mossies. My safe battery was held in with Sellotape, it worked, but I was never fully confident of the safety, but nothing happened so why did I worry? Overall just a fantastic holiday, hotel, beach, pool, staff and other holiday makers. we will return to the Riu complex as we really like Riu hotels and this one did not disappoint.

We can not fault this hotel in any way, the staff was incredible and went above and beyond for me and my friend especially when we had lost a bag with phone inside at one of the pool parties, they rung every hotel and had us looking in the lost property at all the hotels and luckily some one had handed it in and we got it back. The food can be repetitive but then at the bar the amount of different drinks you can get on the all inclusive is pretty good. The animation team were one of the best parts of this holiday especially Sanfranisco he made sure that we was having the best holiday he had us going to pool parties and always made sure we got back okay, he had us laughing from start to finish we can not praise him enough he made us feel so comfortable and welcome we really did make a friend within him. This is probably one of the most friendliest resorts i have been too for the staffing. The hotel rooms were perfect for us free mini bar, they stock your fridge up with Pepsi and beer and water they always do an amazing job at cleaning the rooms. So thankyou for an amazing holiday and all the memories we have made we will never forget ❤️
