"The view was incredible! I could spend four days by the pool. It was great to have the shuttle (4x4) to the beach. It is not a swimming beach at all, but it is great for watching the waves and reading a book. Drinks were delicious, though the good was hit or miss. (The tuna tartare was incredible; the seafood platter was a sad disappointment.) The staff were very kind and helpful and there was yoga on the weekends with a transcendent view."

Top Central Valley Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

8/10 Good
"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel and would highly recommend it. We accidentally left our wedding rings in our room while we went on an excursion. When we returned, the room had been cleaned and, thankfully, our rings were exactly where we had left them. We are so grateful for the honesty, integrity, and professionalism of the housekeeping staff. Knowing that our valuable and sentimental belongings were safe gave us such peace of mind. It says a lot about the character of the people who work here. Thank you for taking such good care of your guests and for reminding us that honesty and kindness still matter. We truly appreciate it and will remember this experience for a long time!"
