“Great Stay in Costa Rica and Nice private Tours!!”
We just came back from an amazing vacation in Costa Rica and stayed at Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica. From the moment we checked in, we felt very welcomed by the staff. Our room was lovely, spacious, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The facilities were always clean… more

“Another great RIU vacation!!!”
The title of my vacation at the RIU Palace Costa Rica has "great" in it...and the overall trip was great...but I only posted 4 stars instead of 5. The reason being was the rooms and elevators. The rooms are dated, and a bunch of times the elevators didn't work... I think the property is 16 years… more

“3rd Visit - Great Staff, Relaxing Stay, A Few Areas to Improve”
We just returned from a four-night stay at Riu Palace Costa Rica to celebrate my son's 30th birthday. This was our third visit, my Mother’s first visit, and everything from airport pickup to check-in went smoothly. I was thrilled that my request to have the room decorated was honoured, it was the… more

“Used to be a really nice place but not enough adult only space.”
We were there twice before, the last time 11 ago. We just loved every aspect of the resort both times. We just returned from our 3rd and last trip a week ago. Although we did enjoy most of the trip, you can really see the deteriorations: - so MANY KIDS. It felt like Disney World. - there are 5… more

“Good hotel, but nothing special. Misses the mark for the price point.”
Overall Impression The Riu Palace is a perfectly functional hotel, but the experience is "fine" at best. It is positioned as the premium sister property in the complex, but it consistently misses that mark. Even at a promotional rate, the value proposition isn't there because the quality of the sta… 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There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published.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.
