We returned 2 days ago from a five day stay at this Hilton and are already anxious to return. As Hilton Honors members for many years, we have traveled extensively and have stayed in Hilton worldwide -- this hotel is absolutely top class and top of the line for Hilton and also top class period. Everything about our stay was superb. We took all of our adult children (there were 8 of us in total). Our timing was perfect -- the hotel was not crowded and we were given rooms that were basically adjacent to one another. The rooms were spacious, luxurious, very clean and as described were directly on the ocean (deluxe ocean view). We slept with our doors open to the heavenly sound of the waves. Even the turn down service provided special touches (your request for a sweet or salty snack is noted).
We had originally planned to use the shuttle service to eat the majority of our meals in town because of the cost of feeding so many folks, but we ended up eating at the property 3 out of the five days because it proved to be a good value when we added the cost of the shuttle or taxi into our plan. It also made for very relaxing days around the pool. (Pool was also not crowded while we were there, but we discovered that we liked the smaller, more private pool on the side).
We found the breakfast to be exceptional (though pricey if you are paying -- we had the perk of the Hilton Honor's breakfasts) and the service impeccable. We had the same waitress (Claudia) each day ,and she brought a personal touch and bright smile to our table. We loved the sushi at La Barq as well as the Baja burger and nachos at the other poolside restaurant. We also enjoyed the seafood at the mid-range restaurant.
Luis, the desk manager of the hotel was extremely accommodating and the concierge service very helpful.
I don't think we missed a single Happy Hour (drinks are discounted 50% and they are accompanied by nice complimentary appetizers) and would definitely return -- either with our adult children or as a couple. I would rate this resort as one of the best overall experiences of a lifetime....does that say enough?!!!
