"RIU Guanacaste was an amazing experience and I will absolutely stay there again when I go back. The staff was extremely hospitable and friendly. The hotel was pristine with easy access to all amenities. I highly recommend this hotel for any first timer or repeat travelers."

"So the place in general is beautiful. The view is amazing, and the pool area is very nice. This is an all inclusive hotel…..the food is horrible though. We had to go eat out for dinner just because we couldn’t with the food. No variety, and it was just not good at all. We went with our toddler and there was no kid appropriate food, we saw some other kids just eat plain rice and they were complaining too. Breakfast was “ok” but we didn’t even stay for lunch, it was not worth it for us. Staff was nice though, but unless you’re okay with a very limited menu I would not recommend coming here. Only the view is worth it. "

"The resort is lovely, we enjoyed the food at the buffet and the restaurants plus we loved breakfast and lunch at the grill restaurant. Our room was always clean and welcoming. Enrique (restaurant manager) organized a beautiful milestone birthday celebration in the Italian restaurant that was perfect! Kevin (entertainment manager) had great events organized and I enjoyed stretch class and aquafit in the pool every morning. Our only complaint is the lack of shade at the pools. By the end of our 2 weeks there was 2 umbrellas at the smaller pool near the beach and the larger pool had 6 umbrellas… we won’t go back until there is adequate shade at the pool. It was sunny and 34-36C every day, you need shelter from the sun. Other than needing shade, I’d recommend this resort if you’re looking for a quieter adult only place. "

"The public areas of the hotel are very nice and well maintained. The pools are plentiful and shade is readily available. I did not go to the beach. Too hot for me. Our room was clean. Nice balcony on the garden view. Furnishings and decor is dated and tired but the hotel has a major update planned so will get better soon. Staff accommodated our reservation request to be close to elevator. Much appreciated. "

"Beautiful property on one of the best beaches in the country. Great food and a relaxed Pura Vida vibe throughout. Not your typical all-inclusive experience; no loud music, no large group activities throughout the day. Perfect place to relax. "

"rooms were clean and spacious. Pool was excellent. Fitness centre was well equipped. Sometimes a language barrier in communicating with staff but they were always friendly and helpful. Free airport transport was a nice feature. Breakfast buffet was adequate but many things were not hot and the pricing varied considerable depending on who you spoke with. Expedia website suggested 17 USD pp but some staff were suggesting 36 USD pp. "

"All of the staff were so friendly and helpful! It was an amazing place to stay!"
