Caribe Hilton
Pools and grounds are gorgeous. The whole place has a beautiful resort feel. Ocean view is the best on the north shore—crashing surf on two sides and calm swimming lagoon to the west.

The Resort was excellent and fun. The inroom dining food was not that good but there are many other options on the property. We have already booked for July.

Costa Bahia Hotel Paseo Caribe
Ok but expect 2-Star service and poor amenities. The gym was ok. Parking was complicated. Many good walk to locations nearby. Don’t linger at the hotel. The staff are not very friendly.
