Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall very nice place. A lot more children than I was expecting. The food is buffet style, except for the steakhouse. It was ok, but nothing spectacular. As soon as you step on the beach get ready to be approached by the hawkers. Had a great time and would go back again."

Condovac la Costa

10/10 Excellent

"The room have an amazing beach view. Could use some renovation as; painting, or cleaning the walls and new pillows. The sheets and towels were clean and very well organized. The Staff were amazing, very helpful and always with a smile. Loved taking the shuttle to go down the beach. The hill is very deep so definitely taking a shuttle was helpful. The FOOD was 10/10. so good perfect portion and the best of having inclusive is that we ate whatever we wanted. The drink tasted like juice so getting drunk would be easier if you want that 😅 Costa Rica Unique (a part of the excursion office) staff are so nice! very helpful on explaining what the packages are and what brings. Overall very good for the price and amazing, definitely would recommend to someone!"
