Northern Plains Vacations from $993

This place is about 1hour and 45min from SJO and it was the perfect trip for a few days to visit nearby Parrita and Jaco. We wanted a quiet romantic bitoque hotel and it’s exactly what we got. We walked to the beach (about 10-15 min walk) and then relaxed by the pool. The property views were amazing! The room was clean and comfortable.

Do not book this resort with Expedia if traveling with children! I had a very unpleasant experience when I was requested to pay double of what I originally paid through Expedia at the reception when checking in. I booked a 6 night stay at RUI Palace for one adult and two children 16 and 14 years old staying in 1 room. Expedia sent me a receipt confirming booking for 1 Adult and 2 children, but they sent my booking to RUI as 1 adult and 2 infants. When checking in I was told that there is an issue with my booking and I owe them a ridiculous amount of money to pay for my two children. Later it was brought down to a more reasonable amount. I argued that it was not my mistake and showed them a receipt where it says 2 children. The manager said that it happened several times before and it’s not their problem. No refunds will be issued, so I had no choice but to pay. It is RUI problem and they need to figure this out with Expedia. It’s as simple as sending people receipts specifying the ages of the children.

We had an excellent experience at Suitree hotel. It was truly a memorable experience that we will cherish for many years ahead. We especially loved the service at the Taru restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the chefs taking so much time to ensure a perfect presentation with true Costa Rican cuisine. A special thank you to

Excellent service, beautiful views, wonderful food and plenty of activities to keep you busy for days. The staff make this place exceptional. Extremely kid friendly. We were there in high season and it never felt overcrowded. The views though. Breathtaking. Worth every penny!!!

Beautiful setting and comfortable room in the Vista Suites. Lots of picture taking on the property of wildlife. Very friendly staff and great personalized service.
