"Two resorts for the price of one - RIU Guanacaste next door is open to Palace guests (but not the other way around)."
"Splash park kept my kids busy for hours, lots of fun."
"If you're looking for a place to relax, have the drinks and not worry about the food, enjoy a beautiful beach that also has snorkeling, kayaks, and paddle boards to use and the waterpark; then stay here."

“Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica in Matapalo emphasizes all-inclusive convenience, beachfront access, and multiple pools catering to families. I noted the Greek-style whirlpool and themed restaurants that try to add unique on-site value. For business or leisure, its conference rooms and spa services appear ready to serve, but the aging rooms are a concern.”
