Отель Riu Naiboa это место, куда хочется вернуться Riu Naiboa is the place to come back

I was always skeptical about large hotel complexes, apparently, a special attitude towards them was formed and strengthened after visiting the Egyptian "5 gold stars", but this time we decided to take a chance and trust the German quality. A single resort complex is represented by 6 hotels of the Riu group, which prioritize a high level of service and quality food. One of the significant big pluses in this hotel is that the number of rooms was completely renovated only three years ago, the rooms are really fresh. The hotel is one large 4-storey building overlooking the garden or pool, the rooms, so, in general, all have a good view. It makes sense to overpay for suites if you plan to spend a lot of time in the room, they are much more spacious than standard rooms and have a good seating area, better than standard amenities. Since we planned to only spend the night in the room (and not always, because the plans included visiting the north of the Dominican Republic), we settled on a standard room. In it we found a bed, a storage area, a TV with 2 music channels, a minibar, bedside tables and a greeting from the hotel. They did not find the declared wifi and immediately purchased a local unlimited SIM card for $12. We could use the territory of the whole complex, but the infrastructure was not. Although it is quite possible to soak up the pool of neighboring hotels, they will not kick you out. Restaurants, of course, according to approved categories. I believe that the relatively low cost of the conditions are decent. The territory is huge. well-groomed, with livestock and vegetation, with very friendly staff. The complex has a sauna, several restaurants (in my opinion 6), many bars and eateries, a gym and swimming pools with animation and for a relaxing holiday. You will have to go to the beach, not the first line, but everything, again, is inside the same complex. For example, in Asia, the second line is often understood as a line often separated by a busy highway, in the case of Naiboa, you just need to walk a little longer : ) Arena Gorda beach and the part that is located near the complex is extremely beautiful_soft, weightless, floury sand, long picturesque beach, immersed in the shade of palm trees, a gentle entry into the water, and, of course, the water itself is a miracle. It is better to come here in advance, ideally, of course, to meet the dawn, when most vacationers are still sleeping, you can enjoy this beauty in solitude. Although it is unlikely that you will be able to be absolutely alone here, couples roam here in the evening and at night, and in the morning yoga will be practiced a few tens of meters from you. Well, after breakfast, most of the vacationers rush to the beach, music plays here, they carry drinks, children run around, someone dances, and the atmosphere completely changes. But at any time, it's very atmospheric here! Regarding the animation at the main pool, I can say that they always arrange something interesting, really. we did not participate, because we divided our vacation into an excursion and relaxation program, and if we relaxed by the pool, we preferred to do it in a calm atmosphere. Regarding sightseeing trips, we took a survey in our host Anexa, but to Saona and Los Autisos and to the north of the Dominican Republic from 2 bananas, in both cases we were satisfied. BUT, of course, you need to alternate trips every other day at least so that it is not tiring. And finally, about food, it is very tasty here, but mostly high-calorie. Vegetable dishes are not a great choice , mostly repetitive. But I relaxed and with pleasure tried meatballs with cheese sauce, croissants with coffee, and salmon. Well, the desserts here are also very interesting. Alcohol is mostly local (wine, rum, beer), but the quality is excellent. So we were more than satisfied with the chosen place. Will we return here? With pleasure!
