Family Beach Vacations - Tips and Deals

Hilton Hotels has opened its first property in Costa Rica - the Hilton Papagayo Resort Costa Rica. To mark the occasion, the resort is offering guests an introductory rate of $499 per night (double), all-inclusive.

Formerly the Premier Fiesta Resort & Spa, the 202-room resort has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, covering almost every aspect of the property. Influenced by its natural surroundings, the resort welcomes guests with a new open air lobby, as well as upgrades to guest rooms, gardens and public areas, meeting facilities, restaurants, swimming pool area, and a new world-class spa.

Located just 20 minutes from Liberia International Airport, the Hilton Papagayo Resort is nestled between the mountains on a secluded and government protected natural volcanic sand beach on the Bay of Papagayo in Guanacaste.

The renovated rooms include 71 bungalows and four new junior suites, each with their own private plunge pool. For recreation and relaxation, the resort boasts two outdoor swimming pools with a new pool area and deck, non-motorized water sports, tennis courts, on-site tour desk, local arts and crafts store, and nightly entertainment.
