We just got back from the Riu Guanacaste last week. What a wonderful resort! Don't believe any of the crabby reviews below. The towels are fine, the rooms and resort are scrupulously clean, and the staff is kind and friendly and really know their jobs. Just ask for more pillows and they appear immediately. The service couldn't be better. We loved the pools, which are simply beautiful , and everything is quite well done. We even caught the staff sweeping the dirt under the hedges! Nightly shows are fun and much better than we expected. Even though the beach has a few rocky spots, there are lovely soft sand areas to walk with the waves lapping at your ankles. We had perfect weather, and found the snorkeling in the north beach area to be just as good or better than going out on the snorkel boat. The food was delicious, with a large and varied selection, well done in all respects. In all, it was a magical vacation, one we look forward to repeating.
