Veintisiete de Abril Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Veintisiete de Abril, Guanacaste

"Gorgeous setting, incredible sunsets, friendly staff. We loved looking out from our balcony or the infinity pools onto the bioreserve jungle below. We had an upper floor room (#9) right next to a tree that regularly had birds and howler monkeys coming through. Very peaceful. Spacious room. The food and drinks are at US resort-level prices, and there are no other places to eat within a 15-minute walk, so plan accordingly. The shuttle into town works well for daytime beach visits or lunch out, but the last shuttle back is at about 4:30 so if you stay in town for dinner you need to take a tuck-tuk back (uber not available here)."

"Miss the à la cart restaurants. Riu’s are better than buffets in all restaurants but one. "

"Great beach. Coarse shell sand but still ok on bare feet. Not overly busy and right off the resort. Waves not really big enough to boogie board on but good for smaller kids to play. Pool is very nice with lots of lounging areas. Entertainment area with pool tables, ping pong and fooseball - great for kids/teens. Spacious and quiet rooms with great amenities. Animals on the resort are a highlight (iguanas, monkeys, raccoons). Food was excellent with nice variety and good quality. Staff was helpful and friendly. No complaints other than our check in was very slow."

"Yes there and kept families engaged "

"Our family had a great time at RIU Palace. The staff is amazing! We made many new friends there!"

"Nothing for vegetarians or vegan "

"Great staff and the food was excellent. "

"Staff was less than friendly. Food was terrible. An animal pooped on the sidewalk and the poop stayed there the entire stay. I would never stay in this place again. The beach was great, however it is public. Very poorly managed. "

"Beautiful property and rooms. Food and beverage are quite expensive compared to quality and value. Housekeeping staff were wonderful. "
