“A Bit Disappointed”

The grounds were absolutely beautiful, well-kept and clean, as were the rooms. Check-in was fast and easy. Based in the appearance, I woukd have rated higher, but there were some disappointments throughout our 5 day stay. First and most concerning, several people in our party of about 32 had di… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews

There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.

Our criteria for collecting guest reviews

After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.

When will my review appear on the website?

Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.

How long will my review stay on the website?

Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.

Can I get a reward for my opinion?

No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.

Can a review be edited?

No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.

Will my review appear on other websites or publications?

Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.

If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?

No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.

  • Yes, guests at Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive have highlighted that: My husband and I just got back last week from here and I have to say it was such a great place. It was a very big resort with a lot of stuff to do. The rooms and the whole resort were very clean. The rooms were very comfortable to sleep in too. The food was good it was all mostly buffets except for the steakhouse which was excellent, but what I liked was each buffet was food that went with the title of the restaurant. So if you went to the Asian buffet you had sushi, and a variety of Asian food. Italian and Mexican buffets same thing. If u go to the Asian and Mexican try to get there by 7:30 because it gets busy and if it’s too crowded they will give you a buzzer. The entertainment was great. Loved the Michael Jackson’s show , and the show based on movies. The entertainment and staff at the pools were great too. I recommend to go to the foam party when they do it ,it was such a blast. The service was amazing. I recommend the Santa Cruz Bar by the pool . The bartenders Lizandro, Moises, Roanis,Harlen,Dayanna, and Deimer were the absolute best. They did such a great job and we enjoyed their company so much we had to go see them everyday! The American country sports bar was good too if you want to cool off shoot a game of pool and watch some sports. Lita and I believe his name was Miguel were so nice to us every morning we went in there too for a coffee and Mamosa, The tamarino bar was so nice and relaxing too. We didn’t go with kids but went to the side where they had waterslides and an ice cream place. Thought that was cool too. The restaurant by the pool where u can get burgers and hot dogs etc had such nice workers cooking the food there too and were very helpful. Love the fact that some evenings too while sitting by the pool before dark you were able to see some monkeys in the trees too. I could go on and on. All in all was a great time! Thank you for making our trip so great ! We would definitely return!
