Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive
4.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (1003)
"We had a great stay at the Riu Palace. Beautiful grounds, never felt crowded, very friendly staff. Lally and Alex made our stay more enjoyable. They were constantly getting the kids involved in activities which was great for all of us. Kids never wanted to leave! Food was decent, rooms were okay. Beach was nice and we loved walking to see the monkeys nearby. Hard to get into restaurants unless you went to the first sitting. Place could be cleaner, definitely needed some upgrades, and room keys...

Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive
3.5 star property
7.8 out of 10, Good, (1218)
"It’s an old property and needs minor updates. Some of the outlets in the property needed to be upgraded. As the plugs wouldn’t stay in the outlets, but that’s pretty minor. Another item was that some elderly people might have problems entering the bathtub as the bathtub height getting in and out was kind of a scary. The staff was really great. The drinks were good and the food was excellent."

"Charming hotel, very well kept and amazing helpful staff. Lovely quiet beach front nearby with a few decent dining options there. Quiet chill place to relax, mostly an adult hotel overall it seems and with some nice live entertainment on weekends. Close enough to Coco beach for more dining options and beach stuff plus a very decent grocery store. Was great as a low key home base for this trip and very easy to and from the airport."

"This community of small Villas was perfect for our stay. The grounds were beautiful and the staff were very helpful and kind. The location was very convenient, being next to a supermarket and a 10 minute walk from the local beach. The rooms are not luxury, but nice for this price and they have everything you need. We had a problem with our AC unit on the first night, but the staff was quick to offer us a new room while it was being repaired. The breakfast was traditional Costa Rican...

"I have to say this was a very nice place for the price point. The location is great. 5 minutes from Coco and 2 minutes to the beach. Nice pool and secure grounds. Restaurants, convenient store and awesome coffee shops next to the property. If I had to say something cautionary- it would be that it it small. It’s a 2 bedroom but the living area and kitchen are for one or two people. But if you are on the go then it’s a great base camp for more. I would definitely stay at this location again !!!"
