The location and hotel facilities are simply amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a super relaxing yoga class with the most beautiful view with Yari ( I hope I am spelling right) who was fantastic. We wished we had stayed longer!

We were very satisfied with our stay at Rio Guanacaste. The hotel fully met our expectations, both from what we read on Booking.com and in reality. We stayed in a renovated room in a new building — it was spacious and comfortable. The food quality was consistently good across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a wide variety to choose from. Nothing extraordinary, but everyone will find something they like. The staff works hard, they’re friendly and responsive, always trying to help and move quickly. Cleanliness is well maintained, even when the hotel is busy. We also really liked the location — the beachfront is beautiful, the pools are great, and the bar service was solid. Nothing over-the-top, but overall a great value for the price. It’s slightly expensive for Latin America, but reasonable considering Costa Rica is one of the pricier countries in the region - its OK.

The staff: invariably prompt, courteous and smiling. The food at the three a la carte restaurants was tasty and abundant (again, the staff was great). My room, junior suite with a sea view, was spacious, comfortable and pleasant. Yet the cheap plastic furniture at the varanda was not very inspiring

    Our third time staying at this resort. We love the wildlife about the property and the staff are exceptional. Beach access and amenities keep improving over the years. Stayed in a master suite this visit and loved the outdoor seating areas off the rooms.

    The perfect way to end our vacation. Loved the ocean beach and the abundance of parrots flying around the resort. We even saw a family of monkeys around the property.

    We have stayed here 4 years ago and the resort has been sold and is completely different. My wife is disabled and has mobility issues. We chose this place because it was small and she could maneuver around.

    Wow! This place was all I expected and then some! From check in to check out I have never stayed at a resort with such helping, kind and genuine staff. They totally went out of their way to make your stay a successful and rememberable vacation. From Alphonso the manager to Joseph, Christina, Jordan and our bartender Dennis everyone was great and happy to make your stay special! The dining and kitchen staff were wonderful. Housekeepers went above and beyond their duties. We will definitely be returning in the future.

    Paradise resort with great pools and remarkable service. I'd like to address some of the occasional negative reviews regarding the dining experience at this resort: This is a moderate priced resort in a high price country. The food is excellent and we loved it, but it is not the 5-Star gourmet dining you get in a 5-times-more-expensive french ski resort.

    The resort is well kept and the staff is very nice and accommodating. My room was comfortable, especially the bed. Large bathroom with walk in shower. The food was pretty good. The best massages are given on the beach. Be prepared to see wildlife, this resort is in the middle of nature.
