Stayed at this all inclusive hotel for 5 days in April. My first experience with an all inclusive so I can't compare it to others. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the pool is clean with food and drinks very close by. All rooms have an ocean view, some from the balcony. The hotel is on the ocean; one minute walk... More

I absolutely loved my stay at the Riu Guanacaste in Costa Rica. This is your typical Riu if you are familiar with the chain. It is a good sized hotel, not too big. We had an ocean front room with a big bed that was like 2 full size matresses pushed together as is usual for a Riu room. Really... More

Stayed at the RIU the first week June. The resort is beautiful. Yes, room decor is a bit outdated..but overall I found the resort decor to be a nice mix between traditional and modern. The hotel was very very clean. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Food is good with many choices (not great but certainly not bad), nice pool,... More

My husband and I were recently married at the Riu. For starters, the place is just completely amazing. The wedding was perfect! Our wedding planner always answered my questions promptly via email and she did everything I asked her to do. The staff doesn't understand english quite as well as the staff in some of the other places we visited.... More

Our first 5 star experience for nearly seniors, but healthy and fit. The entertainment team at the pool side were genuinely in-clusive to the casually timid. So we gave it a try at darts to win a bottle of Costa Rican Rum or pkg of coffee. I had to do a sexy dance when I hit the balloon, and surprised... More

Upon arrival to this hotel one can not help be taken by its grandness. The grounds are immaculately manicured and the overall look of the hotel is prestine. However once we began interacting with the staff it became clear that this hotel would not live up to the first impression. The checkin staff was not particularly accomodating. My girlfriend and...

We stayed at the RIU for 6 nights and the location was great, only a short drive into the Coco Beach area. The food was above average for an all inclusive, and they only slight negative I have is on the service. This is a large hotel and while the staff works very hard, you don't get the impression they... More

Although not a five star hotel I did enjoy my stay. Service lacked in that towels were not in room two days out of the four days that I stayed here. This was my first stay at an all inclusive, although not for me my stay was enjoyable. The room and hotel grounds were very clean, food choices were adequate... More
