Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

First off the Riu’s food was better then I expected. There was a lot of cooking stations and the wait staff was very good. The staff was constantly cleaning the place and the grounds were very well kept. The pools we’re amazing the waiters took drink orders right from your seats and the swim up bar was nice also. The Riu is nice if you want to just relax and stay on the resort or if you choose to venture out it’s a little far from town about 35 min there’s a adventure park right near the hotel that’s a must see and the zip line was extremely fun. The shows at night are fun and entertaining.Just be careful of the atv and jet ski rentals on the beach they don’t have Insurace so do it at your own risk the hotel offers the same things and the price can be negotiated over all I’d rate place 8.3/10 super clean and all staff had masks on if that’s a concern for you and everything is now open again clubs and bars

I don’t know how to start from the check in till check out is extremely bad experience I never will be back to any RIU hotel and not recommend it at all! We had 3 rooms reservation and all of those smell very bad like toilet and super bad service and all foods not eatable! Over all not qualified even for 1 star !!!

The resort is beautiful. The live entertainment in the evenings were definitely entertaining. The restaurants were all great, especially the steak house. You’ll find monkeys not far from the resort and beautiful iguanas strolling through from time to time.

I had a great stay! The staff was friendly and helpful. I loved all the excursion I did - water rafting, the lunches included were so good, the hiking, the views of the zip lining unmatched. The hotel food was reliable and consistent. the only issue i had was with the air conditioning the room. It didn’t feel like it was on some times or it wasn’t as cold as i would like / used to . Overall i always recommend this hotel to friends if they want to visit Costa rica

Bedrooms could use some updates but property itself overall is clean. Night entertainment is enjoyable

Our room was on the lowest level and was very damp and musty smelling. All of our clothes, even the clean ones have a musty smell to them. Our TV had to be replaced twice because it didn’t work or stopped working. The refrigerator in the room was broken. On the bright side, the grounds were beautiful and the staff amazingly polite and attentive.

Nestled in paradise, the all-inclusive resort exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the impeccable service and stunning surroundings set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The diverse culinary offerings, luxurious accommodations, and a plethora of activities left us feeling pampered and entertained. A true haven for relaxation and indulgence, this resort is a top-tier destination for those seeking the epitome of a lavish getaway.

A huge, gorgeous hotel, wait staff, housekeeping exceptional. We had ours meals at their buffet which had something for everyone. Mini fridge barely worked and was never maintained after numerous phone calls to the front desk. Shower head had some sort of clog, water only came out partially For such a gorgeous hotel there should be more general upkeep
