Three months after the opening of their first hotel in Costa Rica, the Spanish chain Riu is planning on opening a second complex in Guanacaste.
The construction will be in Matapalo, on the same land where the first building was built.
The difference is that the second one will go by the name “Palace” and will be of the Premium category, more sophisticated and with some 500 rooms.
Both structures will occupy 5 percent of the property, which measures 939 acres. The building to be inaugurated in November is valued at $150 million. It will be an all-inclusive establishment centered around the family.
The layout will be 701 rooms divided among six floors. It will also have a gymnasium, casino, discotheque, spa, and five conference rooms.
The decision to invest was made in response to the potential the owners noticed in the area.
Right now the company is taking measures to be environmentally aware.
Riu is the 16th chain in the world and the third in Spain. Last year they saw 2.1 million tourists pass through the doors of their establishments.
