Diverse Dining Options

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of dining options at Riu Guanacaste. The buffet offered a wide range of fresh fruits and delicious items for every meal. The Asian restaurant was a standout! I loved the sushi and the atmosphere there was good. Overall, the food was much better than I expected for an all-inclusive resort.

Spacious and Clean Rooms

The rooms at Riu Guanacaste were impressively spacious and maintained to a high standard. I appreciated the mini-bar stocked with beverages, and the daily cleaning was great. Watching howler monkeys from the balcony was a unique treat. It truly felt like a home away from home!
