HILTON PAPAGAYO RESORT COSTA RICA ANNOUNCES DEBUT OF TRADITIONAL HILTON FULL-SERVICE OPTIONS

05-15-2008

Resort Offers Guests Last Chance to Experience Luxury at All-Inclusive Rate

 

Miami (May 12, 2008) – After completing a multi-million dollar renovation, Hilton Papagayo Resort Costa Rica announced today that as of Nov. 1, 2008, the resort will offer the traditional options associated with a full service Hilton property, instead of the all-inclusive package available now.  The change is part of an extensive makeover covering almost every aspect of the property, including a brand new open air lobby, new Kidz Paradise club, a brand new world-class spa, and complete upgrades to the resort’s 202 guest rooms, restaurants, and swimming pool area.

 

On Nov. 1, 2008, the resort will debut an array of new services associated with a traditional Hilton full-service resort.  Guests will be able to enjoy room service, new and unique items on the resort’s dining menus, a new choice of upscale liquor brands at all bars and restaurants, and new meeting space.  Additionally, travelers will only pay for the food and beverage services they consume and have more freedom to explore the resort, its surroundings, and local restaurants.  Kids will be happy too as the Hilton Papagayo Resort Costa Rica will implement a no additional charge for children policy, as well as children dining discounts at on-property restaurants.

 

Guests at the resort will still have complimentary access to all non-motorized watersports, fitness center, karaoke, dance lessons, and live music at the bar. 

 

Now through Oct. 31, 2008, guests can experience the newly-renovated resort facilities while taking advantage of the current all-inclusive package, for rates starting as low as $149.00* per person per night.

 

All-inclusive dining options include three restaurants and two bars.  La Cosecha Restaurant presents live showcase cooking buffet-style and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, serving international and local cuisine, with a specialty theme each night.  Grill del Fuego provides Italian cuisine in a quaint atmosphere, while El Dorado specializes in creative Costa Rican cuisine in a formal setting.  And, Hilton Papagayo Resort helps guests get a smart start for their first meal with the Hilton Breakfast Program, a color-coded system that identifies whether the menu item is low-cholesterol, low-fat, high-fiber, low-calorie, high-energy or an indulgence.

 

Guests will also find an array of on-property diversions to enjoy at the Hilton Papagayo Resort, with two outdoor swimming pools, non-motorized water sports, tennis courts, on-site tour desk to arrange eco-adventures, local arts and crafts store, and nightly entertainment.  The new Kidz Paradise club features activities for children of all ages, including games, nature walks, and the club’s very own “volcano” - a grass mountain with steps and a top that opens up, two slides on either side, painted to depict lava.

 

The pinnacle of the resort’s relaxation options - a brand world-class spa with 13 treatment rooms featuring spectacular garden and ocean views, separate swimming pool, a fitness center with Precor® equipment, and an array of creative and unique treatments incorporating everything from volcanic stones to local fruits.

 

The Hilton Papagayo Resort is a proud member of the Certification for Sustainable Tourism Program, where it has been recognized with a three-leaf rating from the Costa Rican Tourism Institute. 

 

For reservations or more information, guests should call 1-800-HILTONS or visit ww.hilton.com.

 

*Rate is per person per night and includes taxes, gratuity, all meals and drinks.  Rate is subject to availability, now through Oct. 31, 2008, and subject to change without notice. Service of alcoholic beverages is subject to local laws.  Certain restrictions may apply.
