We had reservations but did not stay there after going to our room, it was old dirty and had a very bad smell. It was jam packed with people and the pool was so crowded we could not get in.

Property was gorgeous. Staff was very friendly. Lots of new construction going on in front of Property. The only road leading to the property has very hazardous potholes due to the heavy equipment traveling through.

This property needs to be upgraded!!! The showers are dark and the toilet seat is barely attached. Staff did not supply washcloths until our 3rd or 4th night. The TV and remote did not work, I complained but no one ever came to fix it. The sink was clogged when we checked in. This location does not offer room service but everywhere closes at 9:30pm. The sports bar has very limited options. This location is geared more to families or kids. Nothing for adults after hours. The restaurant system is horrible, no reservations but they close the list at 7pm but open by 6pm. The buffet process was annoying and lacked variety, same food everyday. Not to mention there is no ATM on the property. We were not allowed to visit the sister property. Limited elevators, that’s if they are working plus no bellboy staff for assistance with luggage. The resort shuts down by midnight. I was highly disappointed. I have stayed at several RIU’s in Jamaica, this was the worst location ever!!

I liked the overall service mainly at the front desk assistance. The pool area was nice and spacious. Staff was always helpful and being able to book tours in the property was a great convenience. The only thing I was a disappointment about was finding out that there was a limit in the quantity of people to receive at the restaurants. Multiple times we went to a restaurant and we weren't able to be seated with not option of waiting for a turn.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riu Guanacaste. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The shower was a little slippery and would be difficult for anybody w any limitations or small children. The restaurants were average. Tucan and Tuscana were the best. The drinks were delicious and plentiful. Staff was kind and helpful. The beach was beautiful! The ocean is clear and we were able to see many different types of fish. The grounds at the hotel were clean and also well maintained. The pool was spectacular! We will be back!!

This was our second time to the Riu. Everything is so accessible, beach, restaurants, activities. Great place to stay for kids. If you want to do excursions, speak to Daniel on the beach, he hooked us up on a fishing trip and we were able to bring the fish back to the resort to eat. Chef De La Cruz outdid himself and cooked the fish to perfection, best I’ve ever had. The staff at Riu are super nice and always willing to make your stay enjoyable. The shows at night are a great way to end the day. I will be back for sure!

Great stay. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. Only complaint was at checkout. They wanted us to keep our driver waiting so we could go to pool towel area to get our pool cards instead of just accepting our towels as we were unaware of that and had already had to go and retrieve the 4 towels we had left in the room. They did end up taking the towels so we would not be delayed as we were heading to the airport.

I stayed with my family to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived on a Friday we were surprised to the amount of guests staying here. Just be mindful that this location is extremely crowded Friday thru Sunday. You won’t find seats when dining or any chairs by any of the pools. I was hoping we would get someone around the pool area walking around asking us if we wanted a drink. We didn’t get that. We did not need reservations to the restaurants but one thing I noticed is they make you wait over 30 minutes for a table but they have tons of tables available which I didn’t understand. Overall i would probably not return to this location but one thing I will say is the entertainment was a 10/10.
