The all new Riu
Guanacaste Costa Rica is scheduled for a late 2009 opening along the Pacific
coast of Costa Rica. The Hotel RIU Guanacaste boasts 701 inviting guest rooms,
four dining venues, six free-flowing bars, and five conference rooms. A host
of daily activities and nightly entertainment compliment the surrounding lush
landscape of the Costa Rica coast.
This new 5-star resort will be 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 will be offering five modern,
fully-equipped conference rooms, and a special gastronomy detail.
The Riu Costa Rica resort location allows guests to take in all of the sites
and sounds of the tropics. Bird watching, sport fishing and jungle treks are
all within reach of this new all inclusive resort. Pristine beaches and
tropical landscapes adorn the Guanacaste area of Costa Rica.
Guanacaste region, located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, in the north of
Costa Rica, surprises with its enormous, heavenly beaches. This world-famous
enclave amongst surfers is ideal for practicing all kinds of water sports,
including diving or fishing. The interior of the province, by contrast, offers
tourists the chance to visit incredibly beautiful natural parks, crowned by
majestic volcanoes and ancient caverns.
Annexed to the country in 1824 after its independence from Nicaragua, one of
the great attractions of the province of Guanacaste – apart from its beautiful
beaches – is that of enjoying its tradition, expressed through the delicious
regional cuisine or the typical dances. A mosaic of customs and landscapes,
Guanacaste is the perfect place for travelers who want their holiday to be an
unforgettable memory.
