Love every element of the resort, it was our 6th visit and, staff remembered us from previous trips. Entertainment is awesome, food options are many. Easy to get transportation to visit the City. The service at night, is great, they new what we wanted after the first order. All staff very friendly, we will be back hopefully.

The property is exceptionally clean, featuring an immaculate background and excellent food. However, it is showing some signs of aging. Our biggest regret, though not quite a disappointment, was the beach. I understand that beachfront property in Costa Rica is public land, but a hotel of your reputation could have taken steps to improve its cleanliness and accessibility. That said, our vacation was overall outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend Costa Rica Riu to anyone!

The hotel is old and not very clean, the rooms are in poor condition, not very clean, there is a terrible smell in the room, it soaked into all my clothes. I do not recommend this hotel, the only plus is the number of pools, a lot of them, which could also be cleaner. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful.

Wherever we went it was not a comfortable chare, not in the room, the theatre, or the hall. We were glad to get home and have a few days off to relax after this vacation! The food selection was poor.

Was amazing. Rooms are out dated but you aren’t in them much so it’s fine. That was my only complaint. Otherwise it was an excellent time!
