Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

First off the Riu’s food was better then I expected. There was a lot of cooking stations and the wait staff was very good. The staff was constantly cleaning the place and the grounds were very well kept. The pools we’re amazing the waiters took drink orders right from your seats and the swim up bar was nice also. The Riu is nice if you want to just relax and stay on the resort or if you choose to venture out it’s a little far from town about 35 min there’s a adventure park right near the hotel that’s a must see and the zip line was extremely fun. The shows at night are fun and entertaining.Just be careful of the atv and jet ski rentals on the beach they don’t have Insurace so do it at your own risk the hotel offers the same things and the price can be negotiated over all I’d rate place 8.3/10 super clean and all staff had masks on if that’s a concern for you and everything is now open again clubs and bars

Excelente atención, muy buen servicio.

All of the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Very gracious and easy to talk to. There was almost no language barrier, our English and their Spanish.

The pool area was amazing and the BBQ at the pool. The entertainment was ok but need music that is more recent.

The place was absolutely gorgeous and lots of fun activities by the pool. We would’ve liked to have seen an authentic Costa Rican dining option for dinner, but the restaurants were good. Our favorite dinners were multiple times the Italian restaurant and the breakfast buffet. Everything we tried was delicious at both places and so many options with the salad bar at the Italian restaurant. Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. You really can’t go wrong by choosing this all-inclusive resort. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful place to stay and the excursions in Costa Rica are like nothing else! The staff…. All of them…. Are friendly and always smiling (and funny!) Pura Vida! The only Con: people saving pool side seats…. Like by 7am all chairs have towels on them and some sit like that with no people in site for well into the afternoon….. I really really wanted to yank towels off, but I didn’t.

Activity staff was great. Greivin and all his crew were great, and the activities and shows were top notch, a lovely surprise for us both.

Excellent resort with great staff. Everything was great except for the TV mot working very well.

This is a beautiful location and property only downside for us was the food was not Great. Staff was awesome, so kind and accommodating. Only reason for only 4 stars is the food.
