Family friendly and everything we needed
Took our 18 month old and it was very family friendly. Food was decent at the usual buffets, was better at the specialty restaurants. Lots of activities for a wide range of interests: live music, kids games, water park, water sports, sports on the beach, games by the pool, beginner scuba lessons, etc. Having zip lining and animal park within 10 minutes away was nice too. There are a few stores on the premises, just very expensive but nice if you really need something. We enjoyed our trip and would come here again!

The overall property was amazing! The rooms were dated but we rarely spent any time in them! Loved the food but the biggest downfall was no dinner reservations and you had to be dressed and ready for dinner by 6:00pm to get a spot.

The property is really nice. The rooms on main side are very old and need updating. The first room we were in the ac and phone did not work but when we informed them they moved ud to one of the newer rooms. We also had to stay and extra day because out flight was cancelled. They quickly helped us extend our stay. The only complained we had is the food. It was not very good. That is the only reason I did not give them 5 stars but the customer service and other amenities were great.

I typically do not write negative reviews, however I have to expose this resort for fraud. I booked my stay at this resort from December 29th - January 02 using a travel agency. However, I unable to make it, because of severe thunderstorm/tornado taking place in Costa Rica for almost two weeks. I cancelled immediately upon discovering this. After, several back and forth, my refund request was denied for whatever reason. This resort stole over $1300 from me.

Nice older property and rooms. Staff is wonderful and the pools and breach area are good. My kids aged 15-19 had a great time. What I didn’t enjoy was that you must wait in line for the restaurant of your choice each night for 30-45 minutes to get seat right at 6 pm or you get a buzzer that will go off later which you will have 10 minutes to get your family or group down there. There is nothing else anywhere near this hotel so think you will have outside options.

Looks nice, but don’t expect much
The hotel looks very nice. Pools are nice. Beach is nice. Food was ok. This is an all inclusive and was suppose to refill the mini bar (they never did in 4 day stay). The maids never switched towels, but did take the 2 washclothes we had for 4 people and made the beds. You can hear everything in other rooms. If you get the 2 BR and they ask if you want king or 2 queens then know that 1 is a king and can’t be changed. The specialty restaurants were horrible service and even worse food. You line up 1/2hr-1 hr early to hopefully get a table at 6pm. And then you are completely disappointed. The steak house was the only one worth it. The service at pools, bars, housekeeping was terrible. This is a huge place so if you have trouble walking or stairs, don’t go here. The shows were very disappointing too. The white party was terrible. Most are just for kids and even things like bingo may be on the schedule and they just don’t show up.

11 of us travelled together and had 5 rooms, all together. One person wasn’t able to go because they didn’t receive their passport in time due to the postal strike in Canada. The hotel didn’t accommodate the cancellation for one person and issue a refund even though we kept the same amount of rooms, just one less person. We have stayed at many Riu’s before and this one was the worst of all. The rooms are dated - had hard time getting into the rooms, locks wouldn’t work, rooms had a strong musty smell and in 3 of our rooms toilets didn’t flush. The front desk representative was lazy and literally lied to us about the availability of the rooms, while we were willing to pay the extra fees to upgrade our rooms, promised us better rooms the next day but reserved same rooms for us but on a higher floor with no improvements or even better views. After talking to another associate we were able to move to the new wing on our second day which made our stay so much better. Food was good. No mimosas at this property.

The resort is a nice one - we loved our 4 night stay. Overall, the service was excellent. They had plenty of food options. The pools and the beach are great. The property is pretty and you have everything you need, but if you want a quiet resort, this isn’t it. It’s busy and noisy! We don’t usually go to resorts but the signs everywhere there said you aren’t supposed to reserve lounge chairs yet everyone was doing it - maybe this is just what people do at resorts?? It was annoying to not find a chair because someone’s flip flop or sunscreen is on it for hours. They had some lovely and talented dancers and performers in in the evenings over Christmas. The female saxophone player deserves a shout out, she was excellent! We really appreciated the efforts made to make the resort festive!

We were in the renovated property so it was good. Our view from the balcony was the mountain so could see birds in the morning and then monkeys. The pools were good. Easy access to the beach and had a fun time there. The waves were strong. They had some good activities but not enough. The food was good. The breakfast and lunch options was very limited. Other than the buffet, the dinner options was first come first serve so you have to stand in line to eat. Also the dinner was at 6pm which was way too early.
