Sardinal Vacations from $1,826

Highly recommend this place to family and friends—Costa Rica is the place to go. Pura Vida! We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Riu Resort and had an amazing experience. The staff was attentive, friendly, and very helpful, and we met some wonderful people along the way.

We stayed in the Ron Ron suite. Wonderful views. Great food and service at the restaurant. Hotel was difficult to find since it was the evening. The viewing platform had great views but lots of bugs and ants up there.

Love this resort, stayed at this in Cancun too and will keep staying at these. The food is good, drinks are yummy and you can add an extra shot to make them stronger. Plenty of activities to stay busy or just relax. Locals at the beach sell cute cheap souvenirs and reasonable massage prices. Monkeys in the trees by the beach eat fruit from your hands in the mornings and they took a man's sunglasses off his head but they were too adorable to be mad at.

Great location! But apart from the location, the experience of the hotel doesn’t match the premium price it charges. We don’t recommend it and won’t go back.

The property and villas were stunning! Staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. Everyone knew us by name! Loved having breakfast included with many delicious options. Having a stand alone villa was a treat. No noisy neighbors! We spent a couple mornings at the main pool and usually ended up in our plunge pool in the afternoons. The views from everywhere are amazing! Although we loved our Sunset Villa, it was warm in the late afternoon when trying to get ready for dinner. No way to block out the sun in the bathroom. The town of Las Catalinas was a bit of a let down. Maybe because we were there off season but other than a few restaurants, there wasn't anything going on. No shops or entertainment. Pretty beach but no place to rent beach chairs and make a day of it. The only excursion we did was a coffee/chocolate tour at Tio Leo Coffee. Highly recommend! It was about 1 hour away. Very relaxing trip, which is what we were looking for. Casa Chameleon made us feel very special.
