Playa Pelada Tours and Activities

SuiTree was a wonderful place to stay for my first trip to Costa Rica. The reception on arrival was warm and welcoming. The room was exactly as pictured - no surprises and everything was in working order. The staff were excellent - every single person I interacted with was genuinely happy to be of service. Special mentions go to Grace, Carlos, and Johnny who made the experience exceptional! Since I traveled during the low season, the property was undergoing some renovations, but this was made known in advance of my travel. Also, with it being the low season for tourists - easily getting a table for breakfast and dinner and receiving such personal attention was very nice. Speaking of the restaurant, Taru, the food was phenomenal! I tried multiple different dishes over breakfasts and dinners and all were delicious. The only issue that I ran into was when taking an Uber, the maps for the drivers gave incorrect directions. I’ll mention that you can get transfers directly from the hotel, but I made a last-minute decision to go to the beach and used Uber instead. I approached Grace and explained the issue and she generously provided directions to the driver and made sure I knew the correct way to get back if the issue arose on return. Of note on Uber - it was very safe with both my drivers using trip recording for added security. For excursions, I used Wild Papagayo and highly recommend them. SuiTree delivered on being an excellent experience!

Property was beautiful, clean and spacious. Had everything we needed and was in a great location. Management was easy to communicate with and the amenities were just what we wanted.

The Riu is a MASSIVE hotel, with lots of rooms, huge swimming pools, huge restaurants, and lots of food. It's like a huge mall, people everywhere, noise and music. If this is your kind of hotel, then it's a great one. The Costa Rican green surroundings are gorgeous and the beach is nice. But I found it to be more entertaining/distracting than relaxing. It's like a neon-supersize-24hrs all you can eat place, which is not, personally, for me.
