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.

While my stay had its highlights, it also had a few drawbacks. The extensive gardens provided a serene atmosphere and my executive room was clean and comfortable with its own balcony. However, I found the long hallways challenging and the dining options left much to be desired, particularly considering the price.

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I found my room to be quite outdated and in need of better maintenance. The musty smell was hard to ignore, and I also noticed some issues like a blocked shower head and loose sink taps. It didn't quite live up to the five-star expectation.

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 The location is great for a stopover and the cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, but the rooms felt outdated and I faced a few issues during my stay that could use improvement.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
6.0
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

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.

Additionally, the service could be hit or miss, which overshadowed some aspects of my trip.
