Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great Staff"

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning property! The infinity pool was amazing with its view of the Pacific Ocean. We are so thrilled to have found this location. The staff were friendly and attentive. We had a rattling AC in our room. We called up as we were heading out to dinner and by the time we got back it was all fixed. Every room has an ocean front balcony. This really made our trip great. "
