DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica
Wotif Verified Review
5 / 5
This is a very different Hilton stay. The place was beautiful, the restaurant was nice, service was good. Breakfast is not included the buffet is really pricey around 25 dollars per person but we had a really great time.
