Playa Ostional Tours

Unique “treehouse” experience. Amazing forest/mountains view. It was quite of a delight to stay in such of eco-friendly environment. Great food at the Hotel Taru restaurant. Excellent customer service. Kudos to the entire staff but specially to Carlos Guzman for going above and beyond. Thank you. Pura Vida!

This was my fourth stay at different Riu's, and frankly this was the least favorite of the four. I had two rooms, 1 for me and my wife, and the other room for my 2 adult sons. Another couple joined us and had their own room. Bottomline all three rooms were unclean and very outdated. My room required recleaning and a change of sheets since they were dirty. The lack of care in the rooms shows and there are simple fixes the hotel could do if they cared to. Like the other Riu's I stayed at they have an onsite photography. At this location during our family photos on the beach our session was interpreted by a group of local men. Anyways, since the hotel lacks security on the open beach and basically allows anyone on the property my paid photo session was ruined. The lady taken our photos did not know how to handle this disruption and again there is no security, so I had to intervene. The country is beautiful and amazing, but this Riu location is not recommended.

Great vacation- would go again! Need to switch up food menus a bit but otherwise great time!
