El Capulín Vacations from $791

Food at restaurant was amazing and had a good selection. Ambiance of the place was great: peaceful and quiet. Gorgeous views and the suites themselves were beautiful.

The Riu Palace was awesome. We had a great stay, the staff were friendly and helped in any way. The hotel was kept immaculate the grounds lush even thou it was the dry season. All the restaurants the food was delicious. Definitely will be going back.

So clean! Had everything we needed…kitchen, washer and dryer, hairdryer. Was beautiful inside and we loved the pool/waterfall. Easy to arrange a golf cart and rides to/from airport through their recommendations. We loved it!

Resort is beautiful and rooms are updated and clean. The food is incredible! Swim out room was amazing. The resort is small. Approx 75 rooms and seemed like only 40% full between Christmas and new years. Out of all the restaurants, only 2 were open on any given night and get your reservation in by 9am to stand a chance of getting in. The service is beyond terrible. When ordering drinks, order 2 or 3 at a time as it takes 30 plus minutes to get them - even if there are few people. We ate one night at the italian restaurant and it took so long the waitress asked people to leave as they needed the tables for people waiting. This was while we were still eating. Same night we ordered 2nd round of drinks while waiting for food. A huge eye roll and a huff from waitress. 45 minutes later asked to leave and never did get 2nd drink. Water was muddy brown and dirty the entire time - not very enjoyable. This resort has nothing for daytime entertainment by the pool. Just very bad yacht rock themed music over bad speakers. Absolutely nothing happens anywhere at anytime. Everything closes at 10, which means drinks are done by 9:15. Closing at 10 means lights out and employees leave. If you want to get to town plan ahead. Taxis area minimum 1 hour wait. We got lucky with an uber which the front desk said is illegal- worked anyway. The one way shuttle ride is just under 3 hours from Liberia and just over 4 hours from San Jose so plan accordingly.

Everyone was very friendly. However, the pool was very dirty full of debris leaves trees. The one pool was shut down. The rooms were not overly clean showers were a bit grumpy I was a bit disappointing for the cost per night
