We had our family of four at Riu Palace Costa Rica for Spring Break. The property was very clean, staff was wonderful, and the dining options were top-notch for an all-inclusive resort. We had a wonderful time and will likely return.

Everyone on the property was extremely friendly - I went with a friend for a girl's trip and we enjoyed every aspect of our trip, and would definitely plan to come again. Food was excellent, service was excellent, and the location was beautiful.

Rally enjoyed ourselves, staff was great, food was good, maybe a few more selections, opportunity to give the food a better beach vibe, all we wanted was ceviche, had to venture out for that.

The staff were amazing. Lots of pools and chairs never felt too crammed. Locals selling on the beach but were not too pushy.

Traveled here for my birthday and staff made me feel special and welcomed. The resort is beautiful and clean and the food and drinks were pretty good too. I would rate my experience 10/10. It is slightly more expensive than its sister hotel Riu Guanecaste but so very worth the money. I will only be staying at Riu Palace from here on out while in Costa Rica.

Safety alert! DO NOT WALK BY YOURSELF TO THE DISCO TECH AT NIGHT! Keep your eyes this is a trap for tourists who are by themselves. Also the food was awful and rooms smelled musty.
