The resort was great. The property was beautiful and the people were wonderful. The restaurants were OK--breakfast was good. The spa menu was a better--but it's adults only. There was lots to do--but you could also just relax in paradise. We used Andy Madrigal (Papagayo Holidays a & Adventures) who has a desk in the lobby of the resort. We... more

Clean, lovely and wonderful. Had a view of the bay. Rooms were small but very nice. Pool, bar and beach were great. Enjoyed walking the beach at night to see the hermit crabs everywhere. Enjoyed pool volleyball -- staff were fantastic. A tad pricy, but a lovely tropical paradise. more

Great trip!

We stayed at this Hilton for a week and overall really enjoyed it. The grounds are very nice, the rooms are mostly well-maintained and the staff are friendly. In spite of its black sand, the beach is actually very nice and the water is crystal clear. Overall I highly recommend this place. We paid $96 a night which was a... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Hilton from June 7-13th. We had a oceanfront room that was conveniently located to the pools, beach, and restaurant areas. Our room was spacious and well appointed with a lovely view of the bay. We ate at the bar and the restaurants several times. The food was fine especially the nachos and chicken... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hilton Papagayo and just got back 3 days ago. The resort is beautiful. It is well kept up and the staff are nice. The room we had was cleaned daily. The only bad thing was that we had to keep killing bugs in there. The water could have also been hotter while taking... more

We stayed at the Hilton Papagayo during our visit to Costa Rica. The hotel is actually on a bay with the Papagayo peninsula on the other side. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. As noted in other reviews, having a rental car is a big plus, because the resort sits in an isolated area. A rental car will allow you... more

The grounds on the resort are beautiful. It is very hilly, which I liked, because I like the exercise, however, for people who don't want to walk there is a shuttle that will pick you up. The wait for the shuttle was not long either. I liked the spa pool, which is an adult only pool. It had spa music... more

We had a great time at this resort. The service was great and the resort was beautiful. We didn't mind the short walk to our room and we never had to wait long for a trolley to take us back if we didn't want to walk. The spa was awesome. My only complaint is that the pool needed to be... more

The Hilton Papagayo in Guanacaste is a lovely secluded getaway spot. Located within 30 minutes of the airport in Liberia we were very pleased with the resort. We ended up in one of the hotel units (more on that later) at the top of the hill but our room had a view overlooking the bay. The resort was quiet at... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at Hilton Papagayo last week. We had a wonderful visit from beginning to end. The service and food was very good. Especially the breakfast buffet!! We only ate dinner one time at the resort. It was very good, but we were too busy touring the towns nearby. I would reccommend renting a car and visiting... more
