"The room and staff here were amazing. The breakfasts were amazing. My wife’s favorite was the chia pudding and I really like the French toast. Kids liked the pancakes and omelette. For how nice this place was we were surprised it wasn’t busier. Would definitely stay here again. Pool and swim up bar were nice. Walking distance to beach was fast.

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Love the resort. There are a few things that needs to be fixed or updated but it appears that they will be doing that next year. When they update, they need to put restroom facilities NEXT TO THE different POOL AREAS. Walking long distance from the pools is a severe inconvenience. Staff was excellent."
The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"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. "
