I sent money to Expedia for the booking. I arrive to the hotel, the hotel says my booking is cancelled. Expedia pretends to not know what is going on, then the hotel reciprocates this same notion. Expedia, and the hotel, both stole my money.

My wife and I stayed at many different RIU Palace across the world. This was one of the worse ones we stayed at. This resort lacked entertainment and engagement. I was shocked because every RIU is know for entertainment. They offered games by the pool, but didn’t try to include many quest instead they just had like 5 guest playing. It rained a good amount of time during our trip and the resort couldn’t seem to hold many indoor activities or events. When speaking with other guest, it seemed we all had the same experiences. On our last night, our room was having technical difficulties and wouldn’t allow us to enter. The staff tried opening it with their master key and it still didn’t work. We were placed in an empty room for the night. When morning came, we expected the room would be open so we can make it to our scheduled excursions but it wasn’t. We were told maintenance wouldn’t be in until 8am. Management informed us multiple times we would receive a one day refund for the inconvenience with the room door but they couldn’t process it since we purchased our stay through Expedia. The manager stated Expedia would have to email the resort directly for a refund. It has now been 4 days and Expedia has been trying to get a hold of management but they have been avoiding dealing with the issue in hopes we would forget they promised this refund. Overall, I would not recommend this resort. I would recommend other RIU palace in the world just not Guanacaste Costa Rica.

The staff was lovely. There were multiple elevators broken for the entire 6 days we were there. Great View.

Had a great time for my birthday! They even decorated my room with balloons. The dinner restaurants are hard to in get if it’s busy. But other than that I enjoyed myself. The bartenders are were amazing and the front desk staff made me feel celebrated & welcomed.

AC in room was not working. I called the reception desk multiple times and eventually the receptionist told me there is nothing they can do about it.

I really loved the staff and I did enjoy the resort but there are a few things that need attention. I like that you can go to the other Rio resort as well. I will say the buffet was great for breakfast and lunch but at dinner time it was not so great. The seating was a little unorganized at the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some people would just be told to sit anywhere and there would be someone sitting there already so it caused some confusion and frustration with some guests. The A La Carte restaurants were not explained properly at the front desk. We were told to go at 530pm to make the line and then we would receive a beeper to come back when a table was ready but that was not the case at all. We needed to go back once they opened and see if they had any tables for the night. The pool bar staff (Calero, Christopher and Richard) were amazing and the drinks were always on point. Pool entertainment was good. Naye always made her way around talking to everyone and I loved that she was so personable. Night shows were pretty good. The room was cleaned everyday but our TV did not work. I called a few times and went to the front desk several times and no one ever came to fix it. The beach was a black sand beach and wasn’t too pretty. The amount of solicitors on the beach was insane! We walked down there once in our 6 day stay and that was enough. I would definitely go back and give it another try.

The view is incredible. The bars, if the open erlier than 10am will be great, and more options open when the restaurants are closed.

Overall 5/5. Staff was friendly and quick to resolve all issues such as restocking my room, arranging transportation, etc. Not only so, but my room was decorated to celebrate my birthday. This place is so all inclusive that there is a 24 hour bar. Everything was wonderful. Toughest part is the pool closes at 6 but that does not ruin your stay. Book and have fun!

The property overall is good. The rooms are in need of a good update. I've stayed at better. Please be aware that the tub is in the actually room. There are no vents in the bathroom so bring some type of air freshener. The restaurant closes at 8pm there time and the specialty restaurant has limited seating so the host will redirect you mostly to the buffet area. That part was really annoying. The pools are great. During October when we went there wasn't that much children, so we enjoyed it. The food options were good. Please know that you can use the sauna and jacuzzi for free, no need for spa services. However you do need to reserve the spot in advance. Went with my husband for a nice getaway. Entertainment was ok. Between 8p-9pm. The lobby bar is the best place for stronger drinks.Overall experience was decent. Not sure if we qould stay here in particular, but decent place. It wouldn't be my first choice next time.

The employees were very nice and polite. The buffet Arenal should open at 6:30 to give time to eat breakfast before you start excursions. Thanks
