10/10 Excellent
"We as a family (My Daughter and Grandson who is 13 years old) left our stay at the Margaritaville Resort in Costa Rica extremely happy with our trip. The only sad part of our stay was having to leave. We do plan on returning as our visit was above and beyond our expectations. The resort was clean, safe and the staff were so very friendly and helpful and the swim up bar was great! In addition, the Bartenders were so nice, made it fun to sit and we felt like family. My grandson and I played Pool, we also had so much fun at the Ping Pong Table, we played Jenga and enjoyed the Corn Hole Toss. We even went on the swings..even at my age I still enjoyed it! OMG, the Inclusive Breakfast was phenomenal!! The best inclusive breakfast I have ever had! Waiters and Waitresses all attended us with a smile and so courteous! We went on two tours and they were both amazing!! Ms. Flowers, our Tour Assistant at the resort was so sweet and so helpful. She made sure to listen well and made her recommendations and she was spot on! I am already missing my Costa Rica! I love Costa Rica!! PURA VIDA.... :-)"

"Almost everything was a dream. The Staff was friendly, the property is well maintained, the only thing that I was not extremely fond of was the food. I would recommend the Palace and yes, I would go back to the RIU Palace for another vacation."

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful, our room and the resort were always clean, the food was amazing. There was so much to do and the beach and pools were beautiful. Our only issue was our soaking tub in our room did not have warm/hot water, but I’m sure if we mentioned it they definitely would have accommodated us. 10/10 experience definitely will be back!"

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"
