The Doubletree Resort Puntarenas

Hilton is kicking off 2008 with three new properties in Costa Rica, two of which are offering introductory rates of $199.

The Doubletree Resort Puntarenas is actually the refurbished and reflagged Fiesta Resort. The all-inclusive has four restaurants, seven bars, beach access and plenty of entertainment. It's also close enough to national parks to make day trips for hiking and birding easy.

Rooms and public areas at the Doubletree Cariari in San Jose have been spruced up, and the capital city hotel also offers two pools, a pool bar, a fitness center and a casino. Both the Resort and the Cariari will open on January 1.

A few weeks later, the Hilton Papagayo Resort joins the party with rates starting at $539. While that's a bit steep for a hotel in Costa Rica, it's a bit further afield, on a quiet stretch of beach in Guanacaste. While it's secluded, it's not hard to get to: Liberia International Airport is a short 20 minute drive away.
