Recent Reviews
Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive
5/5 Excellent
"Love the resort. There are a few things that needs to be fixed or updated but it appears that they will be doing that next year. When they update, they need to put restroom facilities NEXT TO THE different POOL AREAS. Walking long distance from the pools is a severe inconvenience. Staff was excellent."
