Doubletree Cariari By Hilton Review

The Hilton company took over this historic resort hotel in 2008. With its use of stone walls, an open-air lobby, and lush garden plantings, the Cariari has always had a warm tropical feel and it still does after recent upgrades and renovations. The rooms, which are done in subdued tones, have either one king-size bed or two double beds, although I find most of the bathrooms a bit small. The suites are similarly appointed, but more spacious and with larger bathrooms. The Royal Service rooms come with extra perks, including personalized butler service. There's a full complement of facilities and services here, and families can take advantage of the dependable babysitting, game room, children's menus, and easy access to the modern mall nearby.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; 2 bars; lounge; casino; large pool w/swim-up bar; small exercise room and spa; game room; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
