The luxury hotel brand Riu announced the construction of a new hotel in Guanacaste Province.
The first Riu hotel was inaugurated in 2009 in Matapalo Beach in Guanacaste. The second hotel, Riu Palace, was opened in the same zone in November 2012. Currently, both hotels employ more than a thousand people.
"Thanks to the collaboration with local authorities in recent years, we have been able to develop a public-private partnership model that is essential to sponsor a Pediatric Care Clinic in Guanacaste," Carmen Riu, CEO of the hotel chain said. "With this, we can improve the conditions not only of our employees and their families but of the entire community near our hotels in Guanacaste."
The new
hotel to be open in 2025 will be
built in the same area and will
offer more than 300 rooms, a main
restaurant and a gourmet restaurant,
swimming pools, entertainment areas
for guests and parking for 150
vehicles. According
to the Ministry of Tourism, the new
hotel will generate more jobs and
will improve the economy in
Guanacaste. Riu is
one of many international hotel
brands investing in Costa
Rica. Recently,
the Dubai, United Arab
Emirates-headquartered ecolodge
brand ENVI Lodges announced their
first lodge to be located in Punta
Islita Beach in Guanacaste. In
2021, over 1.3 million tourists
visited Costa Rica.
