I had a good time at the Hilton Cariari Doubletree. the location near the airport is super convenient, but the cleanliness of the pool left something to be desired. The room was spacious and comfortable, though I had a slight issue with some food from the restaurant. Overall, it was a solid experience, just a few tweaks could make it perfect.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at Hilton Cariari Doubletree. While the nostalgic atmosphere and welcoming staff truly made me feel at home, I did notice some aspects that needed improvement, like the room decor and maintenance issues. The pool was good for soaking up the sun, but the dining options could use some enhancement to match the high expectations set for a hotel of this caliber.

Rooms

I had a mixed experience at the Hilton Cariari Doubletree. The location is great for a stopover and the cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, but the rooms felt outdated and I faced a few issues during my stay that could use improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were clean, but definitely needed remodeling. The decor felt stuck in the 80s, and there were no complimentary Wi-Fi options. I had a guest room with two double beds, which was adequate for my family but not very modern.

Service

The staff was friendly and quick to respond to my needs. However, the lounge access was a bit disappointing; it offered just free sodas and small snacks but no alcohol, and the coffee machine wasn't working during my visit.

Location

The hotel is in a nice area, about 20 minutes from the airport. It's a good spot if you have some time to enjoy the pool or nearby golf course. However, it could be inconvenient if you arrive late at night.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast was pretty good with options like homemade jams and fresh European bread. I really enjoyed it, but the buffet could have been refilled without needing to ask.

Facilities

The hotel has solid amenities including room service and a free airport shuttle. However, I noticed a lack of a bottle of water in the room, and my burger order didn't come out as expected.
