Deiby Rubi is the best chef ! And he also has a great attitude. Ask for him at the restaurant , he will look for your comfort :) don't forget to go with him for some drinks by night. Amazing time!

It's been extremely booked for my visit there's many ticos around, the pool was packed and didn't get the 5star service I have received on my other Riu visits but it's still very beautiful :-)

The Asian restaurant was my favorite. And if they so the Michael Jackson show while you are there, don't miss it.

A good place for open waters swimming , although you may find some jellyfish during the afternoon. Wear visible cap because there are boats and jet skis

The steak house or the seafood sit downs aren't great. Chewy beef . Not much seafood . I got quinoa (perfect for a vegetarian ). Get a massage in the beach for $35/hour.

The water aerobics are so fun and a cultural experience. At first I thought it was fun but the end is the best part. You also get a workout eventually.

Rent the waver runners on the beach . So much fun also skip the hotel spa and get a message on the beach by jeison only $40 for an hour.

Get a place early at the pool. It rains like clockwork at 2 pm during the start of rainy season

What an amazing all-inclusive. AMAZING food, great service, beautiful scenery . Can't go wrong!

palace not as good as it was.choose the regular riu. palace does not have the quality food like the years past (meats,seafood )Buffett cold food and same everyday and no poolside bar b q. Won't go back

You make restaurant reservations in advance, just get to the hotel

Def do the Grand Combo Excursion package & when it comes zip lining : do it upside down!!! Also, the ATVs are awesome!!!

You have to have chile guaro shot! It's like a spicy Bloody Mary shot

The best booze is in the casino ... and you can drink in there without gambling if you want to.

Best food so far is the shrimp and fresh fruit .

Ask josue in the sport bar for a lava flow . Yummy!!

Beautiful place. TERRIBLE customer service.

Great sports bar with Leafs, UFC, soccer etc etc.

Sport Bar is the only bar with A/C but they do have great bartenders

Get a reservation early and at Ocotal steakhouse .

Check in isn't the best experience but the rest of the stay is great! The Entertainment staff works extremely hard. The white wine isn't horrible but not great either. Make sure you take an insulat Read more

The best hotel i've ever been!!!

I hope you packed an extra liver ....

The food is great here.

Super !!!!

Weekends are crowded you may want to avoid them!

'Pura Vida' my friends!

amazing hotel !! =)

Take the jetski tour out to Monkey Head! or enjoy a massage on the beach .

Nightlife is a bit lacking. Nightclub is always empty. Could be better if drinks were free like all the other bars on the resort .

Wifi in the lobby only.

El mejor hotel que he visitado! Una comida exquisitamente buena, piscinas excelentes, playa muy limpia y unas habitaciones muy cómodas!

Excelente atención, comida deliciosa y muy variada, un bello lugar que deja con ganas de volver una y otra vez

5 Restaurantes ; Amplias piscinas , Excelentes habitaciones , show nocturno.... en resumen es el mejor hotel Todo Incluido de Costa Rica .

Prueben los diferentes restaurantes ! Buena variedad. Algunos piden pantalón y vestimenta casual. Rest. Tucan. Piscina muy caliente!

Excelente atención, rica comida y extremadamente cómodo y tranquilo a pesar de la temporada. Súper recomendado.

Está construido sobre un manglar. Precioso. Playa Matapalo es ahora un nuevo polo de "desarrollo". Falta una cancha de golf . Se vería lindísima.

Dos joyerías muy lindas . Un punto a favor el poder encontrar diseñadoras costarricenses como: AGOT y MALEKU.

Muy buen hotel , buenas comidas, bonito lugar!!

La atención para los tipos de muy mala, todo es que sea un extranjero y la atención hacia ellos es inmejorable. Lastima que se desprecie al nacional.

Creo que la comida es buena, la atención y algunas de sus instalaciones. Sin embargo las habitaciones deben mejorar, las butacas de playa también, y algunas otras cosas....

Recomendado 100% muy rico todo.lo unico malo es la zona de parqueo q es bastante reducida..

Si pueden tomen el tour en el Catamarán al atardecer. Gran experiencia.

Es espectacular el servicio. ...el mejor inclusive en Costa rica

Se ha charraleado mucho! La comida súper rica, habitaciones ok. Las piscinas son bellas pero están muy calientes ... Yukkk

Excelente la atención... La parrillada del sábado es excelente

Mucha comida mucha variedad todo muy bien extraordinario los shows diarios, si deben mejorar en la calidad de servicio de los bartenders no son muy amigables se les nota la mala gana

Para mi lindo lugar y la comida excelente!

Se debe de venir entre semana, nunca fin de semana. Se hacen filas en los restaurantes .

Excelente comida, buena atención. Relax!!
