I originally hoping to find a RIU in Costa Rica for Adults only but could not find one which is why we choose the Palace. Other than that we had a great time at your resort.

Not sure how this is a Five star hotel class property. Property needs major upgrading. Almost no options for vegetarians. Food quality can be better.
