Residences in Costa Rica

"We had an amazing time here. We thoroughly enjoyed the different pools, swim up bar, and mountain view from our room. Our bed was very comfortable and the free breakfast was amazing. We would definitely come back if given the opportunity."

"The property is great! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back here again."

"Resort had lots of different food options. The room we had (I believe directors suite) was huge!! Foam party was lots of fun, and being able to see mo keys right in the beach was an added bonus. "

"Very convenient to proximity to airport. Very clean the rooms are beautiful "

"Property can do with a face lift. Looks old and a bit run down. Rooms are big but bathrooms are very small and old. "

"Costa Rica as a WHOLE is very plush and everywhere on the RIU property vs. outside heading toward excursions/airport is photo worthy.Things to be aware-There's only 1 bathroom area outside of the lobby and 1 swim up bar area. They have 3 bars & 2 bathroom on areas inside the main lobby area. Which drinks are now served until 10:00am so if you are at the pool earlier( I'm there by 6:00am lol) than you'll have to grab any type of beverage wether alcoholic or not at the 24hr sports bar before heading to the pool area. Definitely feel like they should serve breakfast in the Ocala restaurant besides the pool area with views of the beach or at least have a drink fountain machine available since there are no servers until 10:00/10:30. Also there were only 2-3 servers waiting poolside for the entire outside lounge areas which made the wait even longer.Besides those small things the servers/cleaners were AMAZING & nice and the property area was clean. Even the local sellers on the beach we're extremely nice "

"Only had a couple of nights but they were wonderful. Good size room with a huge bed which was very comfortable and balcony with view to the volcano. Thermally heated pool was incredible, with a swim up bar and great service. We are vegan so we’re pleased that the hotel had a separate vegan menu with a good selection of tasty food. We ate in both restaurants and enjoyed the view from the 5th floor one especially. If we had to criticise it would be that there was no choice for vegans at the pool bar and little hot choice at breakfast. However when we asked for something the chef made us an amazing “grub” one morning and a tomato dish the other morning. There was the usual fruit and bread and the oats were with water and lots of toppings available. Service was excellent throughout. There is clearly a focus on this. We booked a tour through the hotel to the hanging bridges and other tours are available although of course you can probably get them more cost effectively by going direct. Wished we could have stayed longer; the sounds of running water around the thermal pools and jacuzzis is so relaxing!"

"Very convenient to airport. Has an airport shuttle. Dining menu has gluten free and vegan options which was a lovely surprise. "

"Late night flight. Efficient shuttle. Close to airport. Free breakfast for kids. Was perfect for what I needed to start my vacation. "
