Bed and Breakfast in Nicoya Peninsula

"The staff came across as a bit unfriendly, and at times it felt like guests were being treated with suspicion over things like towels or wristbands. We arrived after dark, and the front desk wasn’t very helpful in guiding us to our room—they simply handed us a map and sent us out on our own. Given how large the resort is, this made for a frustrating start. Overall, this was not my favorite part of the trip."

"Great location! But apart from the location, the experience of the hotel doesn’t match the premium price it charges. We don’t recommend it and won’t go back."

"The breakfast menu was delicious. The best part of breakfast was the cofee machine. The only negative was that the check in process was a bit chaotic. Everything else was amazing!"

"My husband and I had an enjoyable two week stay. Our fourth floor room had a beautiful oceanfront view. We enjoyed the buffets’ large variety of tasty food options. The Japanese and Steak restaurants were also good. Staff was friendly. The resort was clean including our room. The room was tired with a broken bathroom light switch, a noisy constantly running toilet, and worn furniture. Our key fob frequently did not work so we had it reset numerous times. The Riu Palace apparently will be undergoing a major renovation later this year. The ocean is swimmable with a beautiful beach. No cabanas or palapas for lounging in the shade on the beach. Nice pools. No quiet pool or a shaded area for lounging over looking the ocean. The loud music could be clearly heard at all pools. We had no issues accessing shaded pool loungers. We ended up spending time at the sister resort right next door resting on quiet shaded loungers over looking the ocean listening to the birds. Overall, I recommend staying at the resort. "

"We just had a bad encounter with a bar (Filadelfia-I believe is the name off the pool bar) employee. He seemed to have an attitude and was a smart mouth to my questions. The other lady that was working had a pleasant attitude compared to him. "

"The amenities offered are not actually available. There is no water slide, no life guard, no beach bar, no ball for basketball court, no arcade. It says there are 2 restaurants, there are zero restaurants just a buffet that is very basic. We were expecting more because of what was in the ad. The resort is outdated but clean. The views from the pools are great. "

"Absolutely stunning, better than the pictures. The staff was so kind, respectful and helpful. I will definitely be coming back here! "

"Spacious and clean room, large tv, balcony overlooking the pool; large pool with swim up bar, 3 dining options; amazing location. Wonderful staff. This stay far exceeded our expectations. I was hesitant as I hadn't stayed AI for a few years. We were a group of 3 families with three 17 yr old seniors having their last HS spring break before they all head off to college. All inclusive for the teens to grab a bite to eat whenever they wanted was ideal and on paper, Margaritaville looked a great option. In the end, This break was perfect for them. One activity per day off site and then return to resort for an excellent steak sandwich and fries or taco was perfect! A clean pool and fantastic beach a minute from resort was amazing. The new Marina development a few mins walk away also gave us somewhere off site to have a choice if we wanted to eat or drink elsewhere. My son scuba dives and to be able to walk to OceanConnect was perfect. The hotel also arranged transportation for the 8 of us which took around 1 hour 20 mins from Liberia airport. Thanks to all at the hotel - you were wonderful. "
