March 15, 2025 Riu Management: I’m writing to address our recent vacation stay at the Riu Guanacaste of which we choose to return to since our first trip approximately ten years ago since we loved it so much and had such a pleasant time. Unfortunately, this time around we were note so happy and very upset with our return. Housekeeping treated us putting it blunting awful. We had to ask everyday for our room to be cleaned upon coming back from the pool at the end of a day. We thought ok one day, but it became each day. Then when one day they did do it, they put the wet bath mat back instead of a clean dry one. When the young pool staff came around asking for input to guest and we gave our input on the housekeeping we found it to get worst as the week went on. One day we came back on the green clean up card was off and the red do not disturb was put on, the neighboring guest said she saw housekeeping do that. We noticed our patio door was unlocked and I know I always checked that this was locked before we left all the time because I did not like being on ground level. Front desk managers were not very nice nor helpful either. We were not very pleased at all with their responses telling us staff if they see a door open, safe open or patio door open they will not clean. To us, this was clearly a self-set up to not have to clean at this point as the neighboring guest clearly so this done and told us so. Later to find in speaking with other guest, same issues were happe

The food staff was very rude. No reservation, first come first serve. Staff was rude and after waiting for an hour for dinner, they said to wait in lobby. Tried to fix mistake after going to front desk. They made reservation 2 days later, when we arrived staff was again rude out said with an attitude, oh you're in the corner and pointed, didn't even bother walking us to table. Spending a lot of money, will never return to rui resort. They need to take school for manners and class. Never again. Don't bother with this resort. Shops at resort are way overpriced. 50.00 for sunscreens. Food not worth it

We have stayed at Riu resorts before so we were really excited to be staying at another, but this place was very underwhelming. The food was okay, the distance from the new part of resort and to the beach was annoying. There was a ton of construction taking place and it was very loud at all times of the day. Specially during breakfast...Staff was fine, but nothing over the top. Overall I would not stay at this particular Riu again.

It was a nice big resort. The entertainment at night was really good. The food in the buffet was what I expected, not the best, but I always found something to eat. The restaurants were hard to get into because they got fully booked super early and they didn’t take reservations a day early. The drink options were not good, even the syrups they used for the drinks tasted too artificial. I wished they had better options for whiskey, Vodka, and tequila, I couldn’t believe they didn’t have Cacique their most popular rum. Regardless of those things, I had a wonderful time there. I love this country and its people the excursions were amazing and unforgettable. I would come back.
