Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely all inclusive. Very clean and nice updates. Room was clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of space to unpack. A/C hit the spot and the ceiling fan was a great addition. Appreciated plenty of pool choices to spread out and enjoy. The restaurant selection was great and food was really good. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the sushi restaurant. I would suggest they need to add hand wash stations closer to the entrances of the restaurants, especially the buffets. Or at the very least hand sanitizer stations. Front counter staff could be friendlier and more welcoming. Seemed bothered if we needed help with anything."
