Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"We stayed here for the first time in Costa Rica ! It was a short drive through the (about 30-40mins) to get here from Liberia airport. I recommend to book your transportation prior to your trip. The hotel was beautiful !! Lots of pools, food options and entertainment. The staff was also friendly. There is also a Waterpark in the property for the little ones with slides and sprinklers. We had an overall pleasant experience here, but coming with small children I do have some suggestions that could make the experience even better. Rooms had multiple doors which were easy to open even when locked (not child safe). I would suggest the hotel has family rooms with child safety locks to prevent any accidents while on vacation. Also rooms with families should be cleaned daily. We changed our children dirty diapers and they would be there for the whole day (sometimes more than a day). Even if we left for the day to eat or enjoy the pool, when we would return the garbage would still be there. Maybe they are short staff but this could improve. Also"
