It's an all inclusive resort. Rooms were clean, buffet room was extremely good. Big selection of food pools were great with swim up bars. Overall a good place to stay.
Clean rooms, amazing staff, Andreas and jeraua the bar tenders in the higher end bar were amazing and super helpful highly recommend staying at riu guanacaste
We absolutely loved RIU Guanacaste! The resort was amazing, very well kept and nicely laid out. There are many options for pools, some adults only, some with children allowed. Very easy beach access, beautiful dark sand beach and lots of loungers available. The restaurants were all decent with plenty of food available. We are already looking for RIU properties for our next vacation.
Good stay overall. Rooms were clean and service was prompt. Was not a fan of the towel card service and wifi had continuous issues. Food was decent but all buffet, did not get a chance to try the one a la carte steak restaurant
The rooms were very clean and the staff was friendly. The property was located right on the beach. Perfect access to the adventure park 3 minutes away. We had a very good experience here.
Beautiful property and nice experience with my family for an all inclusive resort. Buffet meals were good (not spectacular) and had a wide variety of options that the kids loved! Pool was excellent. Water slides were a nice extra.
Great resort staff was nice and property very plush! Only downside it sand is a dark color due to volcanic ash and not the bright white we are a custom too. But that is not the resorts fault
