The Best Dominican Republic All-Inclusive Resorts for Under $200

RIU Naiboa

RIU resorts are a mixed bag: the physical hotels are often beautiful, while the food can be decidedly “meh” — the chain’s specialty restaurants are particularly underwhelming. Then again, who can argue with in-room booze dispensers? Located in Rui’s Punta Cana resort complex alongside the Riu Palace Bavaro, Riu Palace Punta Cana, Riu Palace Macao and the Riu Bambu, the slightly off-beach Riu Naiboa has room rates that drop as low as $64 per person per night in the summer and gives guests an opportunity to sample Dominican cuisine in the buffet, access to the Splash Water World water park, and balcony and terrace rooms.
