The Double Tree Cariari is as good as it gets for this area and almost as good as it gets for the San Jose area. I am a frequent business traveler to San Jose and have stayed at many fine places ( Intercontinental, Marriott, Marriott Courtyard, Ramada Heradura) and I have never been treated better. Some places might have a... more

I stayed at this hotel for three weeks. The hotel is clean, however I would not recommend staying at the hotel for this reason. They I called US using the hotel phone provided in the room. Since, this seemed to be a reputable hotel, I used the credit card option for calling the US. However, on receiving my credit card... more

First off...skip ORBITZ for international travel! They're horrible. If you run into trouble of any kind, you're completely on your own. We stayed @ the Melia Doubletree for 10 days at the end of June and absolutely loved it! The lobby is gorgeous in marble & stained glass with fresh flowers. Our room was done all in teak wood with... more

Stayed at the Doubletree Cariari one night prior to going to Osa and on return for one night prior to flight back home. The rooms were part of a package deal with Crocodile Bay Fishing Resort. Found them to be clean, the beds very comfortable with quality linens (important to me), and the hotel really much nicer than I expected.... more

There are a few (overpriced) shops on the ground floor and a (small) casino as well. The hotel was perfect for what we were looking for (just a... more

They sent a maintenence man, and he worked for awhile on it, but said, "Esta muerto". Now 10pm at night, we have multiple phone calls of... more

Our trip was from February 1 to February 17, 2008. We stayed at (and wrote reviews for) the following hotels (if you are interested in the others): Hotel Vista Caribe, Playa del Carmen, Mexico Doubletree Cariari by Hilton, San Jose, Costa Rica Cabinas Espadilla, Manuel Anotonio, Costa Rica Garden Court Hotel, San Jose, Costa Rica Days Hotel - Greenspoint, Houston,... more

The hotel is okay. Do not pay more for the, "Royal Service." It is not worth the extra charge, more

We stayed at the Melia for the first three nights of our honeymoon. We thought it was great. The entire staff was quite friendly and we liked that it was not in the downtown area. The hallways to the room are really beautiful as is the lobby. The front desk helped us a lot with restaurant selections and calling for... more
