Top Hilton hotels on the beach in the world – The Points Guy

So, if you’re looking to book a beach vacation — with either your travel credit card or Hilton Honors Points — there are plenty of hotels from which to choose. Some Hiltons are family-friendly properties with kid-centric amenities like water parks and teen clubs, while others are best for romantic getaways thanks to their adults-only policies.

But which one(s) should you book for your next sun-and-sand-focused getaway? From the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, here are 14 of TPG’s favorite beachfront Hilton hotels.

Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa

Montego Bay, Jamaica

HILTON ROSE HALL/FACEBOOK

Best for: Families looking for a fun beach vacation without breaking the bank.

Why stay here: With a solid water park and a beautiful beach, the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa has a lot to offer at an affordable price.

Best way to book: Book the Hilton Rose Hall directly through Hilton’s website for the lowest rates, whether you’re using cash or points.

This family-friendly, all-inclusive resort sits on Jamaica’s northern shore in the tiny neighborhood of Rose Hall, an upscale area just outside Montego Bay. An ideal spot for beachgoers, the property overlooks one of the country’s longest stretches of private beach, which measures an impressive 2,500 feet long.

On its 400 acres, you’ll find two towers that house 489 guest rooms and suites, some of which have full ocean views. The decor is simple and beachy, with soft blues and warm neutrals. Amenities range from flat-screen TVs to coffee makers to private furnished balconies.

As this is a true resort, there’s no shortage of activities for each member of the family. Kids will likely love the Sugar Mill Falls Water Park, where a 280-foot waterslide, a kids zone and various lagoons await. Sports courts for beach volleyball, basketball, tennis and pickleball, plus life-size chess, dance lessons and nonmotorized water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding are also available without additional charges thanks to the property’s all-inclusive rates.

In between your visits to the beach, dips in the pools or drops down the waterslide, head to one of the 11 restaurants and bars to fuel up. Highlights include the Rum Factory, a barbecue restaurant with standout cocktails (reservations are required), and Mangoes, a Jamaican street food eatery by day and a seafood restaurant by night.

Rates at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa start at $304 or 80,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort

Los Cabos, Baja California, Mexico

HILTON LOS CABOS BEACH AND GOLF RESORT/HILTON

Best for: Multigenerational family getaways.

Why stay here: It’s located on one of the few private swimmable beaches in Los Cabos, giving it a serious edge over nearby properties.

Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elite-like benefits and on-property credits while still earning Hilton Honors points and elite credits for your stay, or via Hilton to redeem points.

Los Cabos, Mexico, isn’t known as a swimming destination — the shoreline is mostly rocky, and the waters are rough. However, if you do seek a sandy, swimmable beach, you’ll find a private one at Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort.

The hotel blends vacation-style amenities with impressive event spaces, so you’re just as likely to see families here as you are corporate groups. In either case, there’s fun to be found across the property. There are four pools in total, two of which have swim-up bars, as well as a spa and a kids club. Additionally, the property offers frequent programming throughout the week, so you can partake in agave tastings, craft workshops and beach bonfires, among other activities.

Dining options are delightfully varied: There are six restaurants, from the romantic Italian spot Vela to seafood-focused Mio. The Enclave Beach Club serves a selection of tapas-style bites as well.

When it comes to getting your nightly rest, there are 264 accommodations available. Each has at least a partial ocean view and a private outdoor space, plus decor that draws inspiration from Mexican culture. Upgrade to an AltaMar room for additional perks like free airport transfers, a daily cocktail hour and a dedicated concierge.

Rates at the Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort start at $315 or 80,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Hilton Barbados Resort

Bridgetown, Barbados

HILTON BARBADOS RESORT/FACEBOOK

Best for: Cruisers looking for a fun pre-embarkation stay.

Why stay here: With two private white sand beaches and easy access to both the airport and the cruise port, it doesn’t get more convenient than the Hilton Barbados Resort.

Best way to book: Book directly with Hilton to earn or redeem Hilton Honors points and enjoy any elite benefits.

If you’re flying into Barbados for a cruise, book a pre-night stay at this beach resort that conveniently sits just 15 minutes away from the cruise port and 25 minutes away from the airport.

Somewhat unique, the Hilton Barbados Resort’s grounds include the remains of a 17th-century fort. Given the resort’s location in Needhams Point, which has a great vantage point over Carlisle Bay, it’s easy to understand why this spot was chosen for the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There’s more to this property than its convenient location, though. The resort has two white sand beaches and an infinity pool complex with a view of the sand. For those who wish to be pampered while on vacation, there’s a spa with treatment rooms, saunas and a quartz bed featuring heated sand.

For meals, you’ll have your pick of five dining options. Choose The Grille for Bajan-inspired fare, or head to The Water’s Edge Bar for casual bites poolside.

After a busy day in the sun, retreat to one of 355 rooms to unwind. All come with ocean or bay views, plus bathrooms with separate tubs and walk-in showers.

Rates at the Hilton Barbados Resort start at $203 or 58,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Caribe Hilton

San Juan, Puerto Rico

CARIBE HILTON/FACEBOOK

Best for: Travelers who want a family-friendly and convenient option in San Juan.

Why stay here: This sprawling resort provides an upscale yet casual stay in the heart of Puerto Rico’s capital city.

Best way to book: Reserve your room via Hilton so you can earn or redeem points for your stay.

Since 1949, when it became the first Hilton built outside the continental U.S., the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has been a hot spot for celebrities (everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to Johnny Depp), business travelers, couples and families. It also claims to be the birthplace of the piña colada, which was reportedly invented here by barman Ramón “Monchito” Marrero in 1954.

The 652-room property sits on 17 beachfront acres near Old San Juan, and it’s filled to the brim with everything you could want during a beach vacation. There are three pools, a kids club, a hammock garden, sports courts and a spa, among other amenities. Though beaches aren’t technically private in Puerto Rico, the one here feels quasi-private due to the hotel’s location on a peninsula that doesn’t get much foot traffic.

Dining options are plentiful, too. There are nine venues from which to choose, including Morton’s Steakhouse, Caribar (of piña colada fame) and Mojito’s Caribbean Fusion, a cool lounge-like space that blends Spanish and Caribbean flavors.

The rooms themselves benefited greatly from a post-Hurricane Maria renovation to the tune of $150 million. They’re quite updated, offering a modern take on island decor via details like dark wood headboards and ocean blue color palettes.

Rates at the Caribe Hilton start at $292 or 68,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Hilton Playa del Carmen, an All-Inclusive Adult Only Resort

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

HILTON PLAYA DEL CARMEN/FACEBOOK

Best for: Romantic retreats or fun with friends.

Why stay here: This adults-only resort offers excellent value away from the overly touristy resorts in Cancun.

Best way to book: Book through Hilton to earn and redeem points.

Variety isn’t always an option when it comes to dining at all-inclusive resorts, but at the Hilton in Playa del Carmen, it’s the name of the game.

The adults-only resort has an astonishing 14 restaurants and bars, almost all of which the rate cover. (You do, however, need to make reservations.) The exception is Chef’s Plate, a gastronomic experience only available to those booked in a one-bedroom suite, a one-bedroom oceanfront suite or a presidential suite.

Having so many options is particularly impressive when you consider the resort has a relatively small footprint — it’s located right in downtown Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

When you’re not eating, you can lounge poolside, book a treatment at the Innan Spa (for an additional fee) or play tennis on the rooftop of the hotel. Yes, there’s a rooftop grass tennis court.

One more thing to note: All the accommodations here are massive suites that start at 653 square feet. Some even offer swim-up access to a semi-private pool.

Rates at the Hilton Playa del Carmen, an All-Inclusive Adult Only Resort start at $325 or 58,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Hilton Cartagena Hotel

Cartagena, Colombia

HILTON CARTAGENA/HILTON

Best for: Travelers seeking peace and quiet outside of Cartegena’s Old Town.

Why stay here: If you’re looking for a restful beach resort stay and only plan on taking a few trips downtown, this might be the hotel for you.

Best way to book: Book directly with Hilton to earn or redeem Hilton Honors points and enjoy any elite benefits.

Many travelers flock to Cartagena, Colombia’s walled old town, for sightseeing, strolling the colorful streets and nightlife, but if you’re looking for respite from all of that, the Hilton Cartagena may be the property for you. It’s a little less than 4 miles away from the historic part of town at the end of the Bocagrande peninsula, meaning the pace is slower, and the beach is usually less crowded.

While you could easily spend the bulk of your stay at the beach, save time for the three-pool complex, too. Though they can sometimes get noisy because of the families that frequent them, the pools offer a nice change of scenery from the white sand shore.

When you need some peace and quiet, retreat to your room. All 341 accommodations have substantially soundproof windows, plus blackout curtains, coffee makers and flat-screen TVs. The decor is mostly neutral, with pops of color on accent walls and drapes.

Dining options are limited here, with just one restaurant and one bar. However, Hilton Honors elites also have access to a 10th-floor lounge with snacks, soft drinks and sea views.

Rates at the Hilton Cartagena Hotel start at $139 or 35,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Puerta Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico

HILTON VALLARTA RIVIERA ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT/FACEBOOK

Best for: Families, friends and couples looking for a good value at a great resort.

Why stay here: Right on the beach but also a 15-minute taxi ride to the city center, this large resort has a lot to offer, including balconies and ocean views from every room.

Best way to book: Book directly through Hilton to earn or redeem points.

Just an eight-minute drive from the trendy Zona Romántica neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and a 30-minute drive from the airport, the Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort has the best of both worlds: It’s accessible yet feels secluded.

The resort has everything you need for a vacation. You can partake in group fitness classes, send the younger travelers in your crew to the kids club and/or teen nightclub, pamper yourself at the spa or take a dip in the two infinity pools. And, of course, there’s the beach as well.

Food and beverage options are also numerous, with 14 outlets, including Italian-inspired La Luce, the Cocomar seafood restaurant, Mexican-focused Maxal and bars like the Mojito Lounge and the Sky Bar. There’s even an international buffet with live cooking stations, should you prefer a lot of options in one venue.

As for accommodations, all 444 rooms are oceanfront and have balconies for enjoying the incredible views. If you’d like to upgrade your experience, book an Enclave room, which comes with a beach ba
