On the whole this hotel exceeded all our expectations, as we had previously read a whole load of negative comments on this site. My advice, ignore them! The food, staff, and facilities were excellent for a hotel of this price and calibre. WIFI is available for free, at both the reception area, and the main central bar / buffet area.... More

The Doubletree Resort in Puntarenas is huge! On the surface, everything looks great. We stayed there as part of an inclusive package and this was our last stop before returning home. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and accomodating. Check-in was efficient and our bags were quickly deliveried to our room. There are multiple swimming pools, bars, and... More

We just got back today from a week at the Doubletree Resort in Puntarenas, we had a great time. The staff works hard and are always pleasant. Our room in Building 3 was spacious, modern and clean. The food was above expectations. The bar staff and activities staff were also great. Swimming pools were clean and maintained. The local tour... More

The website said this is suppose to be all inclusive - however if you call eating at the poorly stocked buffet every meal (which was only opened limited hours) and the other 2 "nice" places to eat,in which you had to have reservations and they acted like these were already booked. Some how they found availabilty and lets just say,... More

Upon check in the wouldn't honor our ocean front reservation because they where "over booked". Even though other family members arriving before and after us got a rooms. Mold growing up walls and not hot water. Finally was moved to a room with hot water. WE have stayed in Costa Rica before and this ruined our trip. Would never stay... More

Before booking the doubltree resort in Puntarenas, I did some research and if I did listen to most reviewers, I would have picked something else. But I did stick to my first impression and frankly, I don't regret my choice. Most negative reviews come from Texans. You have to keep in mind that stars are given according to the services... More

We stayed for a couple days of R&R. The property is very scenic. The beach is only so-so, but the pools and the pier on the resort more than compensate. The staff is very attentive. The overall experience reminded me of a cruise ship on land. There were many activities including dance lessions, musical shows, etc. but also quiet areas... More

We're just back from a very pleasant week at this resort, first time stay. Generally clean, although I did kill a couple of cockroaches in the room. Pools are great, although there is not a lot of shade available poolside. Service very good, food quite excellent and varied. Would definitely recommend this resort for families. Beach is dark with some... More
