Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Food was great for all inclusive style"

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This hotel is beautiful. Is small feels really personal. The food is delicious is not a huge buffet but everything is great quality and they have plenty of what they offered. The staff at the buffet is friendly and attentive. Is all inclusive which is a plus for us. The pools are big but unfortunately they only had one of the bars open and only one bartender in the one that was open which is a lot for one person to handle. We all want to have a drink in our hands but it takes time. Adrian at the bar was wonderful he was “overwhelmed” at times but he did it gracious , with a smile, zero complaints but we all had to wait our turns. Adrian is a wonderful employee the hotel is lucky to have him. This place is pet friendly and we came with our rescue dog he was accommodated. We will come back in a heart bit!"
