The staff incredible, professional, friendly and warm. The food was awesome. The buffet in the Arenal Restaurant was so good and fresh. Breakfast and dinner... More

The RIU Palace was more luxurious than other resorts I've visited. The hotel staff was super friendly, as well as the tour guides. The room was fancy and it had a chic decoration (Silver, Purple, whites), very IKEAish. The bathroom was nice, but the secluded small room where the toilet resided, missed a ventilation fan. The whirlpool tub was kinda... More
