The resort is beautiful. The live entertainment in the evenings were definitely entertaining. The restaurants were all great, especially the steak house. You’ll find monkeys not far from the resort and beautiful iguanas strolling through from time to time.

I had a great stay! The staff was friendly and helpful. I loved all the excursion I did - water rafting, the lunches included were so good, the hiking, the views of the zip lining unmatched. The hotel food was reliable and consistent. the only issue i had was with the air conditioning the room. It didn’t feel like it was on some times or it wasn’t as cold as i would like / used to . Overall i always recommend this hotel to friends if they want to visit Costa rica

We had a very enjoyable seven days stay at Riu Palace, Costa Rica. The staff at reception were very friendly, patient and answered all our questions/concerns. Special mention goes to Sharon at the reception. The view from our ocean view room was breathtaking! The room was big and the balcony was spacious. The bed was nice and firm. Housekeeping did a wonderful jobkeeping the room clean. The furniture needs to be updated though, they looked worn out. Loved the option of having five restaurants on the property. The buffet restaurants Arenal, and Papgayo were very good with lots of options. Special thanks goes to Monica at the Arenal restaurant. She is an excellent, very pleasant, capable maitre d, and always found a table to our liking, no matter how busy the restaurant was at that time. Loved the Japanese restaurant Tokio, and the fusion restaurant Krystal. Food and service was excellent there. Did not like the bathroom layout in our room though.The toilet (with a door) is separate from the shower and the sinks. The sinks are seperate from the showering area. The showering area has a half door without a lock, and does not have hooks to hang clothes. There is mildew on the grouts in the shower.There is a huge jacuzzi tub in the room, which I think is redundunt. The room will be much nicer if the toilet, shower and the sinks are all in one room with a door, and an exhaust fan. Frequently there is sewage smell coming from the toilet area.

Este hotel necesita urgentemente un update. El mobiliario es viejo, pintado sobre pintado dejando ver diferentes capas. Los colores violeta y fucsia de cortinas y sillas son una combinación terrible, junto con lámparas en color gris metalizado que ya están desajustadas por el tiempo (veladores inclinados, lámparas de pared flojas, espejos con manchas de humedad). Debimos cambiar de habitación porque las de la planta baja tienen un olor a humedad insoportable. Los baños de todas las habitaciones tienen olor a cloaca. La atención del personal es excelente. Siempre dispuestos y de buen modo. La comida también es muy buena, especialmente en el bufet (los restaurantes no son tan buenos ni con tanta calidad, especialmente el Steak House que nos sirvió carne quemada que debimos dejar sin probar siquiera). Mi percepción es que el precio es muy alto para el mantenimiento general que tiene el hotel. Aún así disfrutamos nuestra estadía.

Bedrooms could use some updates but property itself overall is clean. Night entertainment is enjoyable

Our room was on the lowest level and was very damp and musty smelling. All of our clothes, even the clean ones have a musty smell to them. Our TV had to be replaced twice because it didn’t work or stopped working. The refrigerator in the room was broken. On the bright side, the grounds were beautiful and the staff amazingly polite and attentive.
