He even drove us back to San Jose and had a baby seat for our little one! The food was excellent, the rooms were much bigger than we expected, and the location was perfect. The highlight was the stunning view of the volcano—you can see it so clearly from the beautiful pool (when it is not cloudy), it's like it's right in...

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The rooms have been upgraded and are kept very clean. In past visits there used to be poolside and beachside service. That has since been removed. I wish that it would be brought back. There used to be food rotations on a daily basis in the buffet area. It seems that it is the same food over and over again. The lunch area has the same few food items everyday."
