Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Traveled with Family (2 adults and 2 teens). Large property. Beautiful but felt very crowded which made it sometimes a little overwhelming instead of relaxing. Overall the food was good especially in the restaurants. Buffet was ok but craved more variety."
