Amazing hotel, right next to the airport, but still in a lovely walkable neighborhood. Rooms are semi outside, so it feels very natural and the pool is beautiful, breakfast is also wonderful. Great place to relax before or after a long flight. Second time there and will certainly be back next time I’m in Costa Rica!

We visited to celebrate our Honeymoon. This hotel was absolutely perfect. The wildlife, nature, and open design down the hallways were beautiful. The buffet breakfast is worth the extra expense for food to start off each day. We are gold status with Hilton so it was free for us. The service is amazing. Hotel staff are very attentive and seek to ensure you are satisfied with everything. The pool was very enjoyable with the pool bar. They also have a bar and restaurant immediately inside near the pool. This was truly a little oasis inside the city! We highly recommend!!

I am writing to share my disappointment regarding a recent stay at DoubleTree by Hilton as a Gold Card member. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below the standards I have come to expect from Hilton properties. 1. Lengthy Check-in Process: The check-in process took an unacceptable 90 minutes, causing significant inconvenience after a long journey. 2. Room Allocation Issue: Despite my reservation, the rooms I had requested were not provided. 3. Lack of Information on Member Benefits: As a Gold Card member, I was entitled to complimentary breakfast and Hilton credit, but these benefits were not communicated to me during my stay. 4. Poor Customer Service: The overall customer service was disappointing and unresponsive. 5. Room Maintenance Issues: The phone in the room was not functional, requiring me to walk to the reception twice to report the issue. 6. Unsanitary Bathroom Conditions: To my shock, the bathroom had cockroaches. This was unacceptable and left me questioning the hygiene and cleanliness of the property. This experience was deeply frustrating and not reflective of the quality or service I expect from Hilton. I trust that you will address these serious concerns promptly to ensure future guests do not face similar issues.
