Nicoya Vacation Packages

I like the whole experience starting from the airport to checking into the resort. The room was beautiful and what i love most about the room key was a magnetic bracelet. The food was delicious na variety everyday. The atmostphere was good relaxing n the entertaiment was wonderful. The tour guides for the activities were very knowledgable, speak english. The checkout of the resort was not stressful. I love it.

Best hotel stay ever..

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel future travelers should know what to expect. We specifically booked this resort expecting a luxury experience, but unfortunately it was one of the biggest disappointments of our trip. The room was extremely outdated and had a strong musty, damp smell that never went away. It honestly felt like the room needed a complete renovation. The biggest frustration was that we learned the neighboring RIU Guanacaste has been fully remodeled, while this property has not. After seeing the difference, we wished we had booked there instead. While the grounds, beach, and pools are beautiful, the accommodations simply don’t match the price being charged. The food was also very inconsistent—some meals were decent, but many lacked flavor and variety. For a resort of this caliber, we expected much better. I do want to recognize the staff. Most employees were friendly, courteous, and worked very hard. They were one of the few highlights of our stay. Unfortunately, friendly staff couldn’t make up for an outdated room, the persistent musty odor, and an overall experience that didn’t meet our expectations. If you’re considering this resort, I highly recommend comparing it with the neighboring RIU Guanacaste before booking. Based on our experience, I would choose the Guanacaste every time. We came to celebrate my son’s 13th birthday and were hoping for a memorable family vacation. While we made the best of it, the accommodations were disappointing.

The food was decent, but there are periods of time where there is very little food options available. Most of the staff are very friendly. We had a little trouble trying to get someone to come in to get a lizard out of our room for four days. Would love to have more music in the pool areas and more options for activities throughout the day. There are times where it feels like the resort is completely deserted so you will definitely get bored if you don’t have any activities planned off the resort. It definitely lends itself more as a family resort so if you’re looking to turn up, this may not be the place for you.

Love to stay there, clean, close to everything, I booked the golf cart with them as well. Easy and very helpful with all the questions I had.

Everything about this property was perfect! The staff was exceptional!

Nice room with living room and outside balcony. Nice Pool and beach area. Happy hour for drinks.

Alejandro and Yucsan are the reason I would return to this Waldorf property. Extremely helpful and clearly passionate about their jobs. I’m self employed so I know first hand how difficult it is to find staff of this caliber. Wonderful experience thanks to truly wonderful people.
