The staff here is amazing! My second time staying here. Absolutely love the calm location. The entire hotel is very well kept and the festivities are top notch. Food is incredible. Coming back for a third time very soon! Thank you Riu Palace Guanacaste!

Property was great and the staff was as well. The howler monkeys serenaded us at night and let us get a glimpse of them chilling in the tree tops while talking a walk on the beach. The fresh fruits and coffee were amazing and we miss that already. It was a great experience and can’t wait to try another RIU resort.

The Riu Palace was a very nice BUDGET All-inclusive. The rooms/appearance are in need of updating, but the staff are wonderful and the offerings are up to par. Next door to the Palace is their NEWLY Renovated Guanacaste...Absolutely upscale and Beautiful. Don't be fooled---the food is exactly the same, which gets a "B". No really good seafood or interesting ethnic offerings. Very standard American fare for the most part.

Room was always cleaned. Room didn’t smell as some reviews indicate, however the rooms do need updating but it did not really bother me.

The room was old and needs updating. Issues with water pressure. Key card didn't work well and had to keep getting it recharged. Mini bar wasn't stocked.

The entrance (street) to the property need to be fix, the entertainers need better equipment so they can do a better job. The food was great, staff very friendly, love that it had many pools to choose from. The view of nature was great specially from our room. Didn't go in the beach much because of the rain, the water was a bit dirty, but we enjoy the long walk.

At the registration desk the agent said there are 5 restaurants to dine in addition to the buffets. Only one evening I was able to have a sit down dinner. Other three nights, buffet was the only available option Overall satisfactory stay
