JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa

We stayed in a garden view suite with a private pool. The room was excellent!

We had a wonderful experience at the JW Marriott Guanacaste. The resort is beautiful, the location is terrific, and the staff is incredible. Ariel at the front desk, Jeanneth at the breakfast buffet, and Alfredo at the valet stand all went above and beyond to ensure we had a terrific trip. We'll be back!

Spent a beautiful awesome 4 nights / Sara here last week! The resort is located in a HUGE private property and is a 10 min ride from the entry gates! The beach is absolutely gorgeous with clean white sand. ! Very private attached to the hotel and LOVED waking there ! A multi pronged leaf- shaped pool adds to the beauty of the atmosphere of course! The pool bar and grill were great and service by the poolside was excellent! The rooms were comfortable and clean with the balcony overlooking the ocean ! A WORD OF CAUTION! Do NOT leave balcony doors open ! RACOONS come into your rooms for candy and snacks etc ! Staff were courteous, friendly and helpful! Karin who was housekeeper for us was excellent too !

Great room, views, activities and especially service. Friendly and attentive staff. Whether you want to trek into the surrounding nature or just relax at the pool or on the beach, you can do it all here. The resort definitely lives up to the JW Marriot name.

Beautiful resort, great service and lots of things to do in area. Although excursions were a bit far concierge coordinated everything for my family. Will definitely return.

The JW Marriott Guanacaste is a beautiful, secluded property. During our stay, we found the staff to be attentive, the rooms were clean, and the food was good. The pool is spacious with meandering borders, so they can fit many chairs at the poolside. We were there in June, so the property didn't feel too crowded. Some of the cons for us included the cost (hotel and food), lack of an authentic Costa Rica experience (which we did not expect by staying at a large chain), and the extreme seclusion (it takes 10-15min just to get from the hotel to the front gate of the property, so all excursions are at least 30min away). We selected this property because our friends were staying there also--while we had no major complaints, we would probably pick something that suits our own family better in the future.

Staff was amazing.

The Most Beautiful Gracious and Special place you’ll ever go and never want to leave! Stunning Spanish Hacienda right on the ocean. The most beautiful pool in Costa Rica! Latin Dance elegant dining and a warm and welcoming staff!

The pool area is nice and not overcrowded. The pool bar drinks and staff are great! The beach is great for a nice morning walk.

Beautiful property and amazing amenities. Truly a luxury experience that matches the price tag. It was great to stay here for 2 nights and relax. The beach and pool were fantastic, as was all the food we tried. Their restaurants are phenomenal. However, we only did 2 nights because there isn’t much else to do. A great little reprieve from the adventures of Costa Rica.
