The Riu is a nice place - and the staff is very friendly... As an all-inclusive resort, the vibe is very 'party' and most of the guests are drinking from dawn to dusk... There is live music and dance music right outside the windows every single night until 10:30 or 10:45. The room was sort of 'run down', lots of layers of paint ont he painted furniture , with every layer of paint revealing more grime and chips... it just feels cheap to have a bunch of painted furniture. The room smelled totally dank and musty. When we came home, every single thing we had in the room reeked of mildew and mustiness. The food in the restaurants and buffets was very good. The drinks from the Coconut bar byt he pool were very nice - and a little weak, but that is to be expected.

Very nice property. The beach was not suitable for wading/wave jumping. The pool atmosphere was pretty rowdy at times…too much like spring break for us. Staff was excellent. Friendly and easy to visit with. Food at specialty restaurants was good. Buffets were better than most. !

Was on par with other Riu resorts I have been to. Staff were friendly and helpful. Grounds were well kept and room was comfortable. A little updating needed here and there but pictures are accurate. Food was decent/good for feeding the masses. The specialty restaurants at this RIU are definitely better than other Riu resorts I have been to. Beach is clean and beautiful. A few vendors walking the beach but not so many that you feel accosted every minute. If driving yourself to resort be aware some of the roads are not well kept and kind of scary to drive on (very winding narrow two way roads, blind corners, up in the hills). Would definitely recommend arranging transport to/from for this reason. Great stay overall, very relaxing.

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.
