Very nice hotel, we went for two nights and we stayed 5 nights!!! It was difficult to leave. It is a beautiful hotel, the cabins are very nice among a beautiful park. We had a balcony overlooking the bay. The beach is so nice to swim, and it is very secluded. It was quite, we were during the low season... more

My wife and I spent eight, sun-filled, relaxing days in late September. We were lucky, it was supposed to be the Green (rainy) season. The grounds of the resort and views of Papagayo Bay were awesome. At check-in, I mentioned my wife's upcoming birthday, and on her special day, it seemed everyone wished her a happy birthday, from the shuttle... more

I travelled to Costa Rica for the first time in October. For anyone thinking of visiting the country I would definately recommend making the trip. Costa Rica is one of the most amazing places I have visited - the scenery and range of activities are fantastic and the people are really friendly. The Hilton Papagayo is a really nice hotel... more

Beautiful!

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
