Costa Rica

The Resort:
RIU Guanacaste Resort

This new 5-star resort is located on the seafront in the beautiful region of Guanacaste, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. As well as a superb range of leisure possibilities, the hotel offers five modern, fully-equipped conference rooms, and fine restaurants.

Activities and sports facilities include: gym, table tennis, billiards, beach volleyball, hard surface tennis court, steam bath, jacuzzi, windsurfing, pedaloes, snorkeling equipment, kayaking, other assorted water sports, horse riding, and golf (17 km).

Playa Matapalo is in the region of Guanacaste, in the northwest of Costa Rica.  Guanacaste is less tropical, humid and exuberant than the rest of the country.  Its plains and dry forests are sometimes reminiscent of the African savannah landscape.  The interior is the land of 'sabaneros', the local cowboys.  Driving their herds on horseback, they have become authentic figures of popular culture.  It is a place where you can enjoy the possibilities offered by these privileged surroundings—relaxation and water sports on the beautiful beaches; diving or fishing in the waters of the Pacific; and eco-tourism in the volcanic areas and natural parks.
