Room Swim Up FAQs
What does the Room Swim Up look out onto, and is it worth the upgrade?
The private balcony or patio sits directly along the resort’s swim-up pool, so you step outside into the pool scene rather than just viewing it from a distance. For guests who want their mornings and afternoons centered on the water without a walk across the resort, it’s a genuine lifestyle upgrade rather than just a better outlook.
How are the beds configured, and how many guests can stay comfortably?
The Room Swim Up is set up with 1 King Bed, sleeping two guests. It’s built as a couples’ room rather than a family layout, so it suits two adults who want an easy, pool-centric base at Hotel Riu Guanacaste.
Can guests actually get into the pool from this room?
The room’s balcony or patio runs along the swim-up pool, putting guests just steps from the water rather than a poolside walk. It’s designed for that easy indoor-outdoor rhythm — coffee on the patio, then straight into the pool — which is the whole appeal of booking this category.
What is the bathroom like in the Room Swim Up?
You get a private bathroom with a shower/tub combination, plush bathrobes, a hair dryer, and both regular and eco-friendly toiletries. It’s a practical, well-equipped space for rinsing off after time in the pool or the ocean.
How does the Swim Up room compare with a standard room or a Family Room here?
A standard room at Hotel Riu Guanacaste gives you the same core comforts — king bed, balcony, minibar, safe — but without direct pool frontage, while Family Rooms are built around occupancy requirements for parents traveling with a child. The Room Swim Up sits in between as an upgrade focused purely on location: it trades extra floor space for direct swim-up pool access, making it the pick for couples who prioritize the water over square footage.
What's included for guests booking this room category?
Booking here comes with Hotel Riu Guanacaste’s full 24-hour all-inclusive plan: unlimited meals and snacks, local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, an in-room minibar and liquor dispenser, free WiFi throughout the resort, and free entry to Splash Water World and the on-site nightclub. You also get access to the gym (18+), tennis and beach volleyball courts, and non-motorized water sports at no extra cost.
Is this room better suited to couples, families or a longer stay?
With one king bed sleeping two, the Room Swim Up is built with couples in mind rather than families. Its combination of a quiet private patio and direct pool access also makes it a comfortable choice for a longer, relaxed stay where guests plan to spend most days poolside.
How far is the room from the beach and the resort's restaurants?
Hotel Riu Guanacaste sits directly on Matapalo Beach, so the sand is a short walk from the swim-up pool area, and the resort’s seven restaurants and multiple bars — including the Liberia buffet and themed venues like La Toscana and Ocotal — are all reachable on foot across the property.
Which parts of the resort tend to be livelier or quieter?
Because the Room Swim Up sits right on the pool, expect a lively, sociable atmosphere during the day with music and activity nearby, while evenings settle down once pool hours end. Guests wanting a fully quiet retreat might prefer a room set further from the pool zones, but for those who enjoy being in the middle of the action, this location is part of the draw.
What should guests know before booking that isn't obvious from the room description?
Check-in at Hotel Riu Guanacaste requires a minimum guest age of 18, and a government-issued photo ID matching the reservation along with a credit card is requested at arrival. It’s also worth knowing the resort is family-oriented overall, so while the Room Swim Up itself is designed for two adults, the pool area it borders is shared with all guests, including families, during the day.
