7.6/10 Good! (1,292 reviews)

The hotel staff at the Riu Guanacaste made our trip super comfortable. They were timely in meeting all of our needs. The “Michael Jackson” show is a must see, as we were thoroughly entertained. And you have to visit the onsite steak house restaurant! The salmon is the best thing in the menu. However, there were two things that took away from our stay; (1) the check-in process. It took us over 2 hours to check-in. We thought that after flying over 5 hours and then catching a 45 minute taxi that the check-in process would’ve been more streamlined. However, this was not the case. The Riu has to do better with their check-in process. (2) The food. Aside from the steak house restaurant, the food onsite was mid at best. We found ourselves longing for McDonald’s, which is something we rarely eat. All in all, this trip was a success but we are not sure if we would revisit this location again.

We stayed in Guiones, within a few minutes walk to the beach. With our rental car, we were close to several beaches, each with their own distinct character. Playa Pelada had morning cool tide pools to explore.
