(1,251 reviews) Me and my boyfriend visited Riu Palace in Costa Rica for the first time for his birthday. We met a lot of new people and had fun. I rate a 4/5 only due to food. Food was okay but not really great . But the entertainment 5/5. We did the spa there and LOVED IT! Very relaxing . Carlos was our booker and he was the sweetest❤️ the bartender in the pool Warren G is the best! We did enjoy ourselves. We always stay at Riu Palace out of the country.

(452 reviews) My husband and I stayed at Gaia after I found it online, and WOW- the ratings and photos didn’t even come close to preparing us for what awaited. I’ve truly never experienced a hotel like this before. From the breathtaking views to being surrounded by jungle, national park, and a macaw refuge, Gaia feels like something out of a dream. But what truly sets it apart is the people who run it. Every single staff member is attentive to every detail. It’s as if they anticipate your needs before you even realize them yourself. Our personal concierge, Catalina, made everything effortless. Alessio, our dinner waiter, and Anthony, who took care of us at breakfast, were equally wonderful, warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Their care isn’t just part of their job, but it’s who they are as people. Because of them, we felt immersed in Costa Rican hospitality and culture in a way that words can’t quite capture. Catalina helped us plan amazing excursions: a guided tour of Manuel Antonio, a 90 minute couples massage on-site, and a breathtaking waterfalls tour that became one of our favorite memories. With only about 20 guests on the property, everything felt intimate and serene. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted, upgraded to a beautiful room, and made to feel at home right away. And then there’s La Luna, the on-site restaurant that completely blew us away. After trying several restaurants in the area, this was easily our favorite. Thank you Alessio for all the wonderful Reviewed on 21 Oct 2025 [](https://expedia.co.uk/go/package/search/FlightHotel/2026-01-19/2026-01-26/?FromAirport=LHR&Destination=SJO&NumRoom=1&NumAdult=2&NumChild=0&hotelId=1351334&paandie=true&HotelClass=40&dealMarker=zALLmYVEhxaeEHSvSNjBEphUtuhoStekONbq94W1owZOY4bPQbA510ZHff6ogZQD) ![Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1760000/1753000/1752985/858b79cd_y.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ### Parador Nature Resort and Spa Save 100% on your flight £1,938 per person 19 Jan - 26 Jan found 1 day ago Return direct flight included London (LHR) to San José (SJO) 9.8/10 Exceptional!

They do have golf carts to take you around which helped. Bring some ones for tips. The views were outstanding. Monkeys and sloths everywhere. The only complaint is the drink prices are unnecessarily high and we were not impressed with the food from Arbol for the prices they charge. We had an issue with getting park tickets and reception was zero help and didn't upgrade our room with VIP access even though the hotel wasn't full. September is their off season which was nice that it wasn't that busy. Can't say enough about the staff mentioned above. They went above and beyond! Would absolutely stay here again.

The property does a great job of having constant transportation available to move around the grounds since it’s so big. Loved our room and the quiet pool area was very relaxing with beautiful views of the ocean. All meals were great! Favorite restaurants were Aqua and Portofino. We also loved their buffet and that it had authentic Costa Rican food as options. As for the staff they are all top notch.
