Very Good

It was truly beautiful and the resort was very clean and well maintained. I will definitely be back it was a great experience. Just be sure to fly out of Liberia and not San Jose.
The staff are amazing. As an environmental conscience country, there were limited toiletries in the room, so remember to bring everything you need, especially if you like bar soap, lotions, etc.
Everything was perfect from the swimming pools to the beach to the hotel rooms to the excursions. Food was average, but we had a great time. Highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Costa Rica , the Riu Guanacaste was very clean, the gardens were gorgeous but the food was not for me. I had a hard time finding something besides fruit and salad that tasted fresh. I am not a huge buffet person and trying to get a table at the restaurants was a lot of work. Besides the food, I would highly recommend the resort . The White party was so much fun too!
We absolutely loved this resort. It is GORGEOUS and very well maintained! It is right on the beach. Which is in a nice cove so it was really calm and the sand was soft. Lots of hermit crabs to play with at night time! The food was amazing! We ended up loving the main buffet and the Italian buffet the most. Steakhouse was hard to get into but worth going at least once. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The pools were great. We went to a couple shows and had a fun time. We didn't have young kids but they had a lot of stuff for the kids. Our kids are older teens and had a blast.
