We stayed at the Hilton Papagayo Resort this past April, We normally travel to All inclusive and this resort was just perfect for us. It had everything we needed private beach all you can drink and rooms with a view! We enjoyed the resort to the fullest but since we were staying for 10 days we really wanted to enjoy... More

This place is amazing. The people, the food, the rooms, everything was great. Oh and those lovely beds and pillows. There are 2 beaches both were very nice. There is also an adult only section at the resort located at the spa area which was wonderful. We went the 3rd week of May and although we had some rainy days... More

The pictures of the rooms on the website are a little deceiving. The hotel is definitely older, but I don't think the rooms are well kept. The day we got there bugs were everywhere. I was afraid to sleep with the lights off, so I made my husband keep the TV on. We killed bugs and spiders every morning &... More

We made the best of this vacation even though the deck was slightly stacked against us. We traveled during Easter so the entire country stopped selling booze for a couple days the hotel didn’t tell us that until we got there. There was also a "red-tide" so swimming was out. They also lost power during our stay and they dont... More

I must admit to being a bit unsure of what to epect when we arrived at The Hilton Papagayo, I had read the reviews for months before we left. They were across the board, from terrible to awesome. I know now to disregard all the negatives..This place is OUTSTANDING!!!!! Not sure what some of these people are talking about. Its... More

My hubby and I just came back from a 6 day stay at the Hilton Papagayo. This was our first time to Costa Rica and we loved it. The Hilton was very mellow and peaceful. It was not crowded at all which was nice. It was our understanding that it was the low season when we went so I'm sure... More

This is the first all inclusive I've been to with great food! I had Mahi mahi, sea bass & ceviche almost every day. The spa atmosphere & staff are wonderful especially Cindy, Lauren& Jennifer. Great, friendly staff everywhere you go. Beautiful grounds, comfortable rooms, howler monkeys in the trees outside the room. Will definitely be back! More

Amazingly beautiful grounds with rooms more like bungalows nicely spread out over the property. Dramatic views of the bay from rooms near the main pool. Beautiful trees and flowering plants everywhere. Four restaurants to choose from. All the food was excellent. We didn't try the buffet but like most buffets there were seemingly limitless options. There were plenty of choices... More

I don’t know how many of you have stayed in an all inclusive hotel before... but this resort was so much fun! My boyfriend and I spent a 5 night trip eating, drinking sun-tanning and swimming. To start you are probably wondering what is actually included with this package. As a guest, you have access to 3 dinner restaurants (reservations... More
