Independent Central America hotels

"I absolutely loved this resort. As someone who isn’t a big partier, I really appreciated the nightly entertainment and lack of clubs—it made for a fun but relaxing atmosphere. This location is close to many hot spots such as clubs downtown and riu SANTA FE. There are four different pools, and I never had trouble finding a lounger, which was a huge plus. Some pools are quieter than others, so it’s easy to pick the vibe you want. The food was phenomenal with lots of variety, and every restaurant we tried was delicious. The beach access is amazing—I spent most of my time there, and the servers were great at bringing drinks right to us. The staff overall were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, especially Aldo at breakfast. The resort was very clean, and the views are stunning. You can see the famous arch and rock formations from the pools and beach, and we even spotted whales a few times. If you prefer a quieter stay, I’d suggest avoiding spring break due to late-night noise. They have photographers who walk around offering professional photos for great memories (Neid) was awesome. The local vendors are super sweet. This location is also just a beach walk away from the marina which was nice. If you are a beach walker this location is great for you! Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!"

"We have stayed at the GR for about 10 years. Unfortunately, we are looking to try a different resort next year. We were just somewhat disappointed with some of the changes. We have gotten upgrades in the past, but they wouldn’t move us across the hall to a partial ocean view and they were NOT full.. The towels were very dingy and kinda nasty.. The staff were nice enough, but it was just different…. Also, the hot tub was pretty gross…. The entertainment wasn’t as good as it had been, and I think several of the entertainment staff have left with a change in the management. The evening entertainment was soooo loud it made it hard to sit through. They only gave us two bottles of water in our room, and there were 3 of us. When we asked for more water, they were reluctant to give us more. They wanted us to continue to use the same plastic bottle for a week and fill them at the water station down the hall. They now charge a small fee for room service. Never had that before. Again, the staff were friendly enough, but all of the small things added up and we were overall a little disappointed."

"Suitable for both children and adults! Clean, friendly staff, and the amenities including the free shows! "

"Everything was great until these “spring break idiots” were trying to act tough with other same age people running up & down stairs hitting doors yelling violently threatening each other to come out & fight. Called front desk TWICE to send security before someone got hurt but NEVER saw security show up AT ALL. This place would’ve gotten an 9.5 out of 10 if it wasn’t for that incident. Really ruined my mood & killed the great vibes we had. "
