Cons: The property needed to be update. All furnitures in the room are old and damaged. No lounge chairs, no services of any kind from the resort at the beach. AC was not running well and broke down so the whole resort has no AC at all at the last day. Not much activities going on at nighttime. If you go early to the ones that more upscale restaurants that only serves dinner, they didn’t turn on the AC ahead of opening time so it was so hot inside we were sweating so much to the point of leaving the restaurant before my foods even made it to the table. Same types of foods everyday at the buffets. Pros: The best thing that we love about this resort is the staffs. They were so kind, friendly and went out of their way to please the guests. They worked so hard and kinda sad that not many guests left any tips for their great services. The foods at the 2 buffets were surprisingly good.

First time at the Riu. Outdated, pool was not very clean, there were things floating in the pool. No top shelf liquor, considering how expensive it is to stay at this resort. I have definitely stayed at better resorts, with top shelf liquors for a more reasonable price. Room pillows had stains, and bed was uncomfortable. Could not eat at the restaurants, since it was rented out for a private party. Sadly, that’s what guests pay for, they should be accommodated to have those options. Staff was friendly, but this hotel would not be an option to stay at in the future.

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive Stay

Just Average all inclusive. Needs updating compared to other Rui properties. Water Slides for kids were rough and uncomfortable. Food was mediocre. Except for the steak house. Rooms need updating. A/C and refrigerator didn’t work in some. Had to ask for replacements or move rooms. Would probably stay somewhere else next time visiting Costa Rica.

The hotel is not on par with othe RIU properties. Our room was dirty and dated. The toilet smelled and there was an obvious lack of maintenance. Outlets needed service, mold around the sink, cracke purple glass blocks and very dimly lit. Outside maintenance was outstanding. Food was cafeteria grade at best with the same menu every night. The priperty could be great with some better attention to maintenance and better dining options since it was secluded and you really didnt have any other option to eat. The pools were outstanding and drinks were great.

We really enjoyed the pools, beach, proximity to a monkey beach. Not a ton of vegetarian options other than the buffet so we were limited on food

The rooms smelled terribly and were very outdated. The public bahtrooms were sprayed constantly with a very perfume chemical that made my family gag. The food was ok. The pools were nice.

I would like to send a complaint directly to the hotel management. The beach is full of stumps and snags that are not removed. It was a hazardous situation and I broke my toe while walking costing me medical expenses.
