Traveled to CR in June on a Tauck Tour; (I would DEFINITELY recommend Tauck Tours!); and we stayed in the Hilton on the first 2 nights. The hotel is actually bungalows set in the mountain. The property is hilly, but they provide a free shuttle service; but it's still walkable. The black sand beaches are beautiful; I went snorkling right... more

This was our second trip to Costa Rica and to Guanacaste. Our parents accompanied us on this visit. We flew into Jan Jose on a Friday, for a little business, rented an SUV and took the 3.5 hour scenic drive to the Papagayo Peninsula. The roads are in much better condition now, than our first trip 4 years ago. If... more

We spent 5 days (4 nights) at the Hilton Papagayo, Sep 26 - 30. We truly enjoyed our stay, despite it being nearly empty. The flu epidemic, recession and high price of food at the hotel restaurants I think has put many people off. It wasn't just the Hilton though, every hotel in the area was just as empty. We... more

I would highly recommend this place for couples but not so much for younger solo travelers unless you're going with a big group of friends. The facilities were amazing and the service was top notch. It has its own beach and is a perfect getaway if you're looking to settle in just one spot in Costa Rica and not really... more

After all the reviews I read on hotels in costa rica on trip advisor, I decided to go to the hilton for the very good reviews it received and the price the hilton was offering. This was also the first time in a long time since I did not go all inclusive and I thought it was a big mistake!... more

This is a great hotel, and was perfect for my first trip to Costa Rica. The property is very spread-out, and the shuttle service that takes you around is fast and convenient. The staff are incredibly friendly, which made all the difference. The rooms were really nice, and having a flat-screen TV was fun. The spa was beautiful, and I... more

We spent the last four nights of our 3 week Costa Rican vacation at the Hilton Papagayo because: (a) it is very close to the Liberia airport; (b) we paid only $59 per night through a great promotion on Orbitz. We knew it wouldn't be the best place we stayed during our trip, but thought we'd be okay with the... more

My wife and I spent the first and last part of our honeymoon in Costa Rica at the Hilton Papagayo Hotel & Resort. I want to break this review down into four parts: (1) location; (2) service + food quality; (3) room quality; and (4) trips. The location is absolutely beautiful as the Hilton Papagayo resort is nestled in the... more

The hotel is positioned in a beautiful secluded bay of the Papagayo cost, which had suffered from a number of development projects criticized for menacing that very little left of the ‘wild’ Costa Rica. Perhaps due to this and to its isolation, the resort has a feel of a beautiful getaway place which could be anywhere else in the world... more
