    Costa Rica is not an island!! As a Costa Rican I was irritated to hear it being referred as an island constantly on the video. Please add a subtitle correcting that. Thank you.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому

      My bad and mistake. As soon as I figure out how to add a subtitle correction, I will. Thanks for watching.

    Thanks Bill. Watched both the vids. Actually like the look of both properties but think we will go for the Palace out of the two. Planning a two week stay April / May 24. Only thing putting me off big time is the speciality restaurant reservation system. Cue up at 5.30 to get a booking or take a chance!? Certainly not my idea of fun when on vacation. Also the only resort I have ever been to that runs this system (we are well travelled). Riu need to rethink this.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the kind words. I agree on their restaurant system. I’ve found since travel opened back up, that is the number one difficulty in travel with both resorts and cruises.
      For 2 weeks, I would definitely stay at the Palace as it will give you access to both.

      @ruthmarsden-butts1433 Рік тому +1

      One thing I did do is check the square footage of the rooms and the reason why I chose the Guanacaste was the room size was much larger over all.

      Have been there before if staying at Riu Palace,can not have dinner Riu Guanacaste and if going to disco can not enter with your drink from resort

    Thanks for both the videos. Its helpful as we are planning on going. Im from Canada 🇨🇦. Just wondering what the currency is in Costa Rica.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому

      I used US currency and credit cards everywhere with no issues. I’m not sure about Canada but almost everyplace accepts credit cards.

    Between the two resorts which is better as far a entertainment? I no this resort has more of the themed parties.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому

      Both resorts have the same themed parties, just on different nights except the white party at the Guanacaste. If you stay at the Palace, you can go to parties at both as you wish.

    I’m nervous about the Guanacaste rooms.. are they really that bad?

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому

      I didn’t tour any of the Guanacaste rooms unfortunately. I have had clients go there with no major complaints. Personally, I usually recommend the Palace as you can use the facilities at both.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому +2

      It’s extremely safe here. There were many children there. I’m retired from the NYPD so safety is always something I am observant of. Thanks for watching.

      I don’t believe the Casino is open but not 100% sure. It closed during Covid

    You barely showed the beach/water. You can't have a video of this length & not show the beach in detail.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  6 місяців тому

      It shares a beach with the Riu Costa Rica. The beach is shown much more and discussed in that video.

    AGAIN calling Costa Rica an "island" ? After seeing both the Palace and Guanacaste, I would opt for "neither" !
    Too much generic "all inclusive", not enough REAL Costa Rica.

      I get it. It’s an isthmus lol. Scroll up in the comments.

    So if you stay at the Riu Guanacaste you can not use the Palace? When I made my reservation for June it said you could.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Рік тому +1

      Hi Ruth. Technically you cannot. The Palace can use Guanacaste but not the other way around. When we were there, nobody was checking though. Who booked your reservation.
