Search Villas in Nicoya Peninsula

"My husband and I had an enjoyable two week stay. Our fourth floor room had a beautiful oceanfront view. We enjoyed the buffets’ large variety of tasty food options. The Japanese and Steak restaurants were also good. Staff was friendly. The resort was clean including our room. The room was tired with a broken bathroom light switch, a noisy constantly running toilet, and worn furniture. Our key fob frequently did not work so we had it reset numerous times. The Riu Palace apparently will be undergoing a major renovation later this year. The ocean is swimmable with a beautiful beach. No cabanas or palapas for lounging in the shade on the beach. Nice pools. No quiet pool or a shaded area for lounging over looking the ocean. The loud music could be clearly heard at all pools. We had no issues accessing shaded pool loungers. We ended up spending time at the sister resort right next door resting on quiet shaded loungers over looking the ocean listening to the birds. Overall, I recommend staying at the resort. "

"This hotel probably has the best location in town. The beach is great, it has 3 pools, includes a buffet breakfast and had some of the most inexpensive drinks we saw in Costa Rica. Our room was ready so they let us check in early which was great. There were however a few things that need improvement. We had no hot water at all aside from one afternoon (we were there 2 nights), we had an oceanfront sunset room and although it was convenient, for the price it should really be updated. Lastly there was very little shade at the main pool. Just a few covered chairs and no umbrella which made it uncomfortable since it was 93 and humid. Overall the property is nice and location was perfect. "

"The amenities offered are not actually available. There is no water slide, no life guard, no beach bar, no ball for basketball court, no arcade. It says there are 2 restaurants, there are zero restaurants just a buffet that is very basic. We were expecting more because of what was in the ad. The resort is outdated but clean. The views from the pools are great. "

"Our family had an amazing time at this resort. The entertainment staff made our experience memorable but the food could be better. "

"Absolutely stunning, better than the pictures. The staff was so kind, respectful and helpful. I will definitely be coming back here! "

"Spacious and clean room, large tv, balcony overlooking the pool; large pool with swim up bar, 3 dining options; amazing location. Wonderful staff. This stay far exceeded our expectations. I was hesitant as I hadn't stayed AI for a few years. We were a group of 3 families with three 17 yr old seniors having their last HS spring break before they all head off to college. All inclusive for the teens to grab a bite to eat whenever they wanted was ideal and on paper, Margaritaville looked a great option. In the end, This break was perfect for them. One activity per day off site and then return to resort for an excellent steak sandwich and fries or taco was perfect! A clean pool and fantastic beach a minute from resort was amazing. The new Marina development a few mins walk away also gave us somewhere off site to have a choice if we wanted to eat or drink elsewhere. My son scuba dives and to be able to walk to OceanConnect was perfect. The hotel also arranged transportation for the 8 of us which took around 1 hour 20 mins from Liberia airport. Thanks to all at the hotel - you were wonderful. "
