We just returned from our Wedding-Moon at the Hilton Papagayo! I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for an intimate getaway. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our bungalow with private pool was very clean with a spectacular view. It was private and away from the public. Easy walk down to the main area, but I recommend shuttle... More

The Hilton Papagayo was a pretty good all-inclusive resort. I don't know that I'd go back there on my own but if someone booked me a trip to stay there again I'd do it. Overall, I think the it is more of a 3.5 star than 4 star resort. I would definitely recommond leaving the resort during the day because... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort for 4 nights and 5 days and could not have asked for a more amazing experience.

I am a Hilton Diamond member and therefor did not consider other resorts for our trip - that was a mistake.
