DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent
"The best part if the property was the beautiful plants and layout out the property. We also, enjoyed having tje restaurant amenities on the property and bar. We stayed 5 nights and we enjoyed everyone of them. The sounds of birds and no mosquitoes . The staff was very helpful. And they even had a casino on the property to try your luck. The room was so spacious and to have 2 sinks was a plus in book. The free shuttle to and from the airport was a bonus. Not to mention various food choices within walking distance. We will be back.!! Great choice if your visiting Costa Rica. Oh, and BTW I would recommend to include the daily breakfast if you stay here. It's a money saver and a great idea. Amazing breakfast items to choose from its buffet style. With omelet a station."
