"We had an amazing experience here-staff was great, rooms were clean and well appointed, housekeeping was excellent, food was excellent! We had a very smooth and first class experience at the W, can’t wait to plan another trip here."

"Stayed (family of 3) for 7 nights. Great location, staff was nice and friendly and made sure we have a great time. Strongly recommended."

"Gorgeous resort, maintained spotlessly, an amazing beach and some of the best all inclusive food I’ve ever had. The water park next door was so fun for adults and kids alike. And the best are the people - incredibly friendly and always smiling. We loved our stay. Thank you to the amazing staff at the Riu Palace! "

"I loved my stay at the cc beach front the staff was amazing , attentive , friendly , & made my stay feel like VIP treatment … the food was good & they have iguana all over & swim up pool bars & beautiful sunsets . I particular liked Danny boy & the guy who helps set up the tour guides , and there was this really pretty lady in the kitchen that always greets with a warm smile & a younger lady in the kitchen who was so friendly she reminded info my little sister . The staff was grade A .The only thing I wished is they had phones in the room so you can call the front desk instead of always walking . Oh the master suites are exceptional inside & out . "

"Everything was great! "

"Beautiful property and picturesque setting! The beach was lovely and we enjoyed to walk on the large and expansive shore. We were able to get lounge chairs for a small fee $4 for the day. The food quality was excellent and they had a variety of different options. The entertainment was wonderful and they offered a variety of differing experiences, the pool was also very beautiful and the water was warm. The rooms were large and the patios were very comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would recommend staying at the Westin hotel when visiting Costa Rica. "
