We travel (family of 4) 2-3 times a year. We’ve been all over the world and this is the first time we’ve had money stolen from our room! If you look on Riu fb groups, we’re not the only ones. I think it’s disgusting and I will never return.

There were only two public restrooms, one in lobby and one in a restaurant. None with easy access from beach area and pools.

Hotel Riu was amazing plenty of pools and different restaurants plus the water park on the premises;staff is very sweet and cheerful and extremely helpful; the layout of the room was inconvenient since the tub was next to the bed and the toilet in a separate area plus the noises from the construction outside was loud

We loved our stay! The property grounds are beautiful and meticulously kept, our rooms were clean and modern, the Splash Water Park was fun for both our 5 year old son and for the adults, the pools were clean and great for swimming with our son, the beach was clean and beautiful, and the food was AMAZING!! The breakfast buffet was fresh and had so much variety and was SO tasty, and all the restaurants were fantastic in their multi-course meals in taste, quality, quantity, and presentation. The cafe "Capuchino" was AMAZING and had the best desserts and Baileys Iced Coffees. The cocktails at the bar across from the "Capuchino" cafe was SO great at making cocktails! We loved every one! The staff was always so kind and caring and helpful, and we loved interacting with them everyday. The ocean was always at a yellow flag while we were there, so it wasn't safe enough for our 5 year old son to swim in due to strong waves, but for adults, it was great and actually warm! What a great Pacific Ocean beach! The selection of shops in the little street between the two resorts was delightful, and we found wonderful souvenirs in the shops. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend this all-inclusive! This was our second time there (with the first being in 2010 to the neighbour property RIU Guanacaste All-Inclusive), and we are so glad we went back now with our son and definitely want to go back again! Thank you so much for our wonderful week in Costa Rica!

The property was nice and the dining options were great. The pool always activities and the music and shows were good for the price. However, there were no reservations allowed so one night we were on line for a steakhouse and a party of 50 went in and they shut the restaurant down. We had to go eat the Buffett. The rooms were a little old and the bed was uncomfortable for me. I’m 6ft and 225lbs. The food was mediocre even at the quality restaurants and even though it’s all inclusive if you don’t tip the bartenders you get poor drinks and poor service.

Staff was for the most part very friendly and accommodating. Pool area was large and clean with staff making sure your needs were met. The food was hit and miss with quality and drinks were weak. The rooms need to be updated as the tv’s in the rooms are small and from 10 years ago. You are lucky if they work and if they do the reception is hit and miss. With Americans traveling during the bowl season and NFL playoffs you would expect some sort of sports bar with large tv’s but not the case here. Our room smelled musty, friends room was missing a shower door and neighbors sink was missing the pipe under the sink for draining water to the sewage. Really! Wife waited an hour for towels after calling house keeping twice and finally had to go to the main lobby to request towels but they had temporarily run out of them. It seems this is a management problem, not worker issues. So much of this is correctable with investment from the corporation. Costa Rica itself was amazing and beautiful as well as welcoming. The road to the resort is like it went through a war zone and we saw no indication that it was going to be fixed in the near future.

Highly recommend this place especially for anyone who is celiac and especially for kids who are celiac. Staff were super friendly & helpful, excellent food, lots of activities on the go, fun water slides only a 5 min walk from the resort. My daughter is 9 and is celiac. When checking in I told them about her "gluten allergy", they immediately gave us a paper where any allergies are documented and our room number and told us to take it to any restaurant we ate at. She's super picky with food, we can't say enough good things about David & Monica, they're staff managers & dressed in black. They asked her what she wanted and would go and talk to the chef or the chef would come out. She had chicken nuggets, fries, pancakes, hashbrowns, sushi (loves avocado/cucumber rolls), bacon, chips & guac...lots of fruit, veggies, salads & various deserts. They could have made her more food like chicken, fish dishes etc. but she's picky. When I asked them if they had muffins, they brought out sealed little lemon muffins (so yummy!) & little sealed packages of mini gf bread. She was so happy to have food she could eat! It takes a little longer obviously so give yourself some extra time to wait for the food. They also told us if she didn't like anything at the other restaurants that she could have food from the buffet and bring it over to the other places we wanted to eat at. We did the zipline, animal sanctuary & snorkeling tour (Planet Dolphin tours) We love this resort & will be back!

I was recently at Riu Palace for 7 days and here is my experience: I don’t write many reviews but felt it would help visitors. The location is great and food was great. The room was very outdated and facility is in rough shape. I can understand it needs updating but I would say the rooms were not considered luxury and spa was outdated many things weren’t functioning. The staff was great but I would say the room smelled and felt like a motel not resort vibes at all. I would consider a different option as it almost ruined our vacation.
