"Beautiful property on a hill with infinity pool overseeing the ocean! All ocean view rooms, amazing breakfast each day and access to a great beach front club with gym, pool, beach. The club is however at a a different location than the main property and the hotel provides with hourly transport to and fro. The rooms are dated and bathrooma rather small and old. "

"Airport shuttle was excellent. Room was clean. Staff were very helpful. Resort in desperate need of refurbishment. "

"The hotel room was spacious and clean. The property is clean, well-decorated, and we felt very safe. The staff was very friendly and appreciated a friendly conversation. Many of the staff recognized my partner and me and remembered our drink orders. The pool is absolutely beautiful and well-maintained, but we wish there were more pool chairs with umbrellas, as the sun is very intense. The beach is gorgeous with safe swimming access, which was a huge plus. The restaurants were great, but we were unsure about how to access the Nikoa restaurant and pool. We only stayed a week, and we thought that if we stayed longer, the food options would get old, which was why we were trying to figure out the other restaurants. The Nikoa pool and restaurant seemed like a super-nice, new part of the property that was hardly used at all. We also attended the free yoga classes on-site at the hotel, and the instructor was excellent. However, the hotel gym was old, dirty, and had no AC, which was crazy considering it's over 90 degrees every day. Overall, we would definitely stay at this hotel again. We felt we got a lot of value for what we paid!"

"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."

"Clean, beautiful, convenient"

"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. "
