"Costa Rica getaway"

This hotel was new and nice. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The food was good and plenty to choose from. Large property and beautiful views. Large rooms. we booked through Delta vacations and it was a good value. They were cleaning the property 24 hours a day. If you are on the courtyard it could be loud some nights from the entertainment they has at the stages. I would highly recommend it.

"Follow up Review"

I posted a review back in January regarding the RIU hotel not giving us a refund for our hotel stay even though our flight was cancelled and we had booked everything through the RIU website. They have since refunded us for the hotel stay. We have stayed at many RIU resorts in various countries and have always had great experiences. I am glad that customer service was able to make things right.
