The beach is great and the opportunity to see a family of white-faced monkeys down the beach was fantastic. The buffets had many options to choose from. It was very hard to get into a restaurant - even when we arrived early, it was already booked up so we had to go with the buffet each time. There is no option to make reservations either. The rooms were in pretty good shape. Overall, it was quite busy and loud but that's to be expected with this type of all inclusive resort.

The resort was run down our tub leaked and the sink was cracked. I paid for ocean view, but the balcony had a solid wall so sitting on the balcony the view was a wall. I didn't like that you couldn't make reservations for the restaurants and had to be there 30 minutes before opening to stand in line. The food was good in all the restaurants and the buffets. The staff was friendly, and our room was always cleaned in a timely manner. The bars were staffed appropriately, so getting a drink didn't take to long. I heard it is getting renovated, so that is good since it is in desperate need

This was meant to be a joyful, meaningful celebration trip for my daughter. One we had planned and saved -yet it was filled with unnecessary stress, discomfort and disappointment. The experience you provided did not live up to what was promised, nor what we paid for. - misleading claims about vegan options and unsafe cross contamination practices. -substandard room conditions ( mold, order, sewage, malfunctioning air conditioning). - poor responsiveness to complaints and service request -unclean, poorly maintained beach and pool areas - unprofessional handling of communication through Expedia -we were charged full price for services and accommodations that were not delivered.

Service was limited at the Specialty restaurants. We went to the steakhouse twice once at 6:30 and once at 6:15 and both times after waiting in line they sad they weren’t taking any more guest even though they opened at 6. The shower broke on the first day and the shower head was corroded. Food was ok and pool wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. Beach is littered with people selling things.

Very limited dining options. An abundance of food on buffets, but not many options of good food. Steak house had no vegetarian options so we were never able to try it as our daughter is vegetarian. Not all sit down restaurants are open every night. Restaurants are first come first serve/ so expect to wait. No Room Service! So get down to get your coffee/breakfast. All inclusive but could not get beer stocked in room. We don’t drink hard alcohol- but it’s not top shelf. Overall staff was cleaning bathrooms and common areas frequently- but more focus needed on detail cleaning. Cobwebs in hallways, high dusting and cleaning needed. Visited sister location Palace. For a few more dollars, I think we will stay there next time instead.

The rooms have a bad odor, like sewer! The swimming pools tiles are coming loose! Overall a bad experience. I will not be coming back to this resort.

In desperate need of renovations which are currently underway. Staff is slow to refill towels, toiletries, and anything room related. Im sure it will be a nice property once all is complete, but in the meantime wait at least a year. Also, no reservations for dinner which means buffet becomes the only option once the other 4 "specialty" restaurants get all booked up by 5:32pm.

First let me say that overall the hotel is very nice.. it’s like a small community hotel so it’s very nice.. the rooms are outdated but the lobby and main areas are very nice. As a person that has gone to other resorts, I was ver disappointed that the hotel/ staff doesn’t give information about the restaurants, activities or evening shows in the resort. The shuttle the hotel has is a separate service and it charges. The hotel is far from everything so I would recommend the resort to atleast provide that being that nothing is near. I was there a whole week and all the activities were done where the pool bar is located so unless you’re drinking, you won’t know what’s going on. The staff is not informative. The beach is public so locals are selling there since the morning til 7pm which makes it a bit uncomfortable to relax. Oh and last but not least! Food is good.. great selection. Overall it’s a very nice place just too far which makes tours super expensive so I wouldn’t go back

We loved our staying at Riu Guanacaste. The hotel was in a nice location. They have monkeys right next to the hotel and the beach was very nice. The staff was amazing and the food was very good, they have a wide variety of options at the buffet, the only thing I would say is that the other restaurants are a little difficult to book because you have to make a line before they open to get a spot. The road to get to it needs to be paved. Im glad that they will be updating this hotel because it needs it, but I will say that I loved everything about it. The entertainment crew is really great. I will definitely recommend people to stay here and I will definitely come back again. Pura Vida!

I like the place, it was beautiful. What i didn't like was the cleanliness of the room. I killed a spider the size of my hand the second night i was there and when house cleaning came they never cleaned it up. The other thing i didnt like was the dining, they dont take reservations but even showing up a half hour before they open you wont be seated or told to come back an hour and a half later. First time ever staying in an all inclusive that I've had such a hard time to get dinner.we had to have buffet dinner twice because they were maxed out the other two days. What confused me the most was there was empty tables and they refuse to sit people.

Very big hotel. Restaurant reservations were not very well organized. They didn’t take reservations on all the gourmet restaurants so we had to stand in line at 5:30pm to be able to make it that night. At that time, it was still sunny and we could have enjoyed the pool or beach longer. Great beach and pools. Very close to the Eco Diamante park (strongly recommended). Staff were so kind and helpful. Rooms didn’t smell that great (musty).
