Property is dated but getting a renovation. My complaints were the tub did not feel safe while showering because of design and the elevators were out a lot. They are renovating in July so hopefully these will no longer be issues. Great staff! Beautiful country! We had a lot of fun!!

Property was good - no issues. But the hotel staff gave us a group of 7 folks random rooms across several floors, was very very inconvenient. Walking between rooms took up most of our time at Riu. Not cool! We made reservations months ahead for double-beds, but still we had to negotiate to even get our selves basic rooms - ended up with one king bed and far off locations....not close to each other. Unacceptable !! When I quoted expedia guaranteed rooms and double-beds they suggested we talk to Expedia....not to them !!

Worst Riu resort I have ever been to, the rooms are very old and beat up, but I don't even care so much about that, the AC was working in my room so that was ok, but it was not working in our friend's room and they wasted a night because of it, eventually they gave them a different room, my other biggest complaint about the room was that they put 2 full size beds together to make a king size and it was like that for everyone in my party, my girlfriend kept falling in the middle of the 2 beds, not acceptable. They still use physical keys instead of swipe cards? THE BIGGEST PROBLEM... out of the 7 people in our party, 2 of us got food poisoning!!! and on 2 different nights! we ate different things, I have a strong stomach and I've been going to all inclusive resorts for a long time, I have never had food poisoning in my life until this, violent vomiting and diarrhea... simultaneously! it ruined 2 days of our trip and the other person experienced the same exact thing. Lastly the RIU party was ok, but doesn't hold a candle to the RIU party at other RIU resorts that I've been to, no acrobatics, no robots, no silent party, the entertainment was ok, but boring, a lot of old people in the resort, not a young crowd and the pool with bar? OMG it was disgusting!! we were about to go in and realized how dirty it was, filthy!!! never went in the pool. I will never go back there. Listen up RIU, this resort is ruining your reputation, you need to shut this place down and rebuild it

Eating anything but the main buffet is kind of a pain unless you want to stand in line at 530pm everyday. Food not labeled properly for dietary restrictions. No understanding of vegan restrictions. Only wine and beer with all meals, no cocktails in restaurants or buffet. The road to the resort is long and in terrible condition. If you leave the resort you will get stuck in major traffic…like hours waiting. The hotel app didn’t even have our entire section of the hotel on it, no map available. Hotel was reasonably priced, clean and the rooms were large.

The staff is amazing. Everyone was so friendly and eager to assist with anytbing we needed. We did not have any trouble gettimg seated at any of the restaurants and we tried out everyone of them. All were great. The different night events were very fun and the beach was so nice, never crowded and we were always able to get lounge chairs for our whole group. We will definitely be returning to the RIU Guanacosta
