The place was absolutely gorgeous and lots of fun activities by the pool. We would’ve liked to have seen an authentic Costa Rican dining option for dinner, but the restaurants were good. Our favorite dinners were multiple times the Italian restaurant and the breakfast buffet. Everything we tried was delicious at both places and so many options with the salad bar at the Italian restaurant. Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. You really can’t go wrong by choosing this all-inclusive resort. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful place to stay and the excursions in Costa Rica are like nothing else! The staff…. All of them…. Are friendly and always smiling (and funny!) Pura Vida! The only Con: people saving pool side seats…. Like by 7am all chairs have towels on them and some sit like that with no people in site for well into the afternoon….. I really really wanted to yank towels off, but I didn’t.

This is a beautiful location and property only downside for us was the food was not Great. Staff was awesome, so kind and accommodating. Only reason for only 4 stars is the food.

All in all the hotel is what you expect from a 5* in the Caribbean, it's not really a 5*. The rooms are good enough, humid and mostly clean. Food was good and service was also good. We travelled with a group of 30 for a wedding and many of us including myself got food poisoning. We all went to the same buffet and all got sick. Personally, I was sick for 5 days. It was really bad. I contacted the hotel and they NEVER responded to me which I think it terrible mostly considering that this is a RIU, an international chain. Not impressed and will not return.
