Definitely worth the money to stay here. Gorgeous spa-like rooms, beautiful grounds, great food & the drinks are out of this world. Gorgeous views of the gulf and a lovely beach. My husband enjoyed some great snorkeling and I almost got the same experience sea-kayaking through the crystal-clear water. Had fun spotting an eel who got tired of me checking... More

We returned on Feb 3rd from a week at the Hilton. This is a resort, not a big hotel so it is spread out and has bungalows not matchbox rooms. Our stay was terrific in every way. I grew up on my parents resort and was reminded of the work it takes to keep them going. The staff were always... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hilton Papagayo during the last week on January 2012 and would highly recommend this resort. I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it is not a luxury resort, but it exceeded our expectations nonetheless. The average guest seemed to be 35-50, and most came without children (or they were just... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at this all inclusive resort. We enjoyed our stay. We started in the king suit and moved in to the the king suit with our own personal pool, and it was worth it. There was all kinds of wild life around the resort iguana's, even a friendly raccoon that came up to our back porch,... More

We just returned from an amazing week of fun in the sun at the Hilton Papagayo. We were a group of 6 who arrived on 28 Jan. We arrived at the beautiful new Liberia Airport and were taken in an airconditioned bus to our hotel. Beautiful grounds and a large spread out resort with breathtaking views and wildlife. Unfortunately, we... More

because some of the previous reviews were slightly harsh about what to expect from this resort. My husband and I returned from a week long stay at this property and we had a great stay at the Hilton. On several occasions throughout the week we commented that our experience was quite different from some of the negative reviews and we... More

An interesting place. seemed more like a collection of cottages rather than a hotel. I traveled with my family 9 adults in total and everyone enjoyed this place. I think I would be "nit picking" to come up with bad comments. Everything was "good" or "very good" but nothing was "excellent". Our room was clean and everything worked, but just... More

What a beautiful resort ! We had such a great time. The location is the best you can dream of if you want to get away from the busy city life. The staff is so pleasant and friendly always trying and often anticipating your requests. They smile all the time. The view from our room was spectacular and having a... More

Our party of 6 people has just returned from Hilton Papagayo Costa Rica Resort. We could share plenty of impressions and not all of them are pleasant. The worst being a surprise charge made by Hilton to a credit card of one of us. The reception service at the hotel asked for a credit card copy upon arrival on 27... More
