Marriott Vacation Club at Los Sueños

Beautiful place and friendly staff

Excelente, el desayuno es perfecto mucha variedad tanto para nacionales como para extranjeros. Todo esta muy bonito y cómodo para compartir en familia o en pareja.

Small and magical This property is a wonderful Marriott.

The guard was extremely rude and disrespectful. The elevator's broken. It's not in the nicest area.

Great oasis. It was also great place to celebrate new years with a spectacular fireworks show from the marina.

The Marriott is part of a massive real estate complex. This was unfortunate to me as it felt like I was no longer in Costa Rica, but could have been in any US resort. It has all the pools and restaurants you want and a decent golf course. However, the golf is way overpriced. In general the MVCI suffered as being beholden to the Marriott hotel, so first night we were "treated" to a wedding with a large firework display and thumping music all night - no wonder the wildlife abandoned the area. And fundamentally that was my problem, it felt like a desert in the oasis of Costa Rica. If you want to go live by the pool and enjoy that entertainment, and you are used to to playing golf at $300 a round then the $250 a round will feel good value for you.

I've been to Marriott Vacation Club properties in Maui, San Diego, St. Kitts, Spain and now Costa Rica. We were there 2 weeks. There are some things that make this property similar to and different from the others. The similarities: Marriott staff were attentive and pleasant. The units were attractive and well stocked. We had a washer/ dryer in our unit. Housekeeping was particularly awesome. The most major difference is that the beach this property is on is not maintained. The sand is dark. There's lots of rocks and pieces of wood and some trash on the beach. No one went into the water. Another difference is that this property is quite far from the airport; it's over an hour away. It's also a distance from some sights, like the waterfalls. A pleasant difference was that they didn't hound us to sit through one of their presentation like they do at every other property--you know, the sales pitches that they say will last 90 minutes but in reality last 3 hours! It was so pleasant to not have to deal with this! There were 2 annoyances: a) Noise. just by the Vacation Club units there are trees that constantly drop their leaves. For many days during our stay there were people using very loud leaf blowers blowing leaves for hours during the day, most days. b) The Pickleball courts. They have 4 courts that were originally, obviously, tennis courts, so the Pickleball lines are laid out over the tennis court lines. They are not maintained. They had standing water in the morning and moss/ something green growing on some courts. Unlike the tennis court, the nets were sloppy. There were a couple tools to brush the puddles off the courts so we took care of the water. They do have paddles and balls you can use that were fine. The first day we played they gave us the paddles/ balls at no cost, but the second day they wanted to charge us $5/ paddle rental and a $22/ hour fee to use the court. Note that the maintained tennis court was free to use, because it was included in our reservation. So if you want to play Pickleball, make sure your reservation says it's included in the cost of your unit. The food was very good. Don't miss the breakfast buffet at La Hacienda. Let me comment on going there during the rainy season. The mornings were usually sunny/ mostly sunny. It clouded up in the afternoon, which, considering the intensity of the sun, was a good thing for me, and then it often rained at night. We found the weather to be good.

Exclusive location

Here’s a draft of your review in English: --- **Title:** Great Facilities, but Disappointing Timing and Vacation Club Experience I recently stayed at Marriott Vacation Club and while the facilities were excellent—clean, well-maintained, and comfortable—the experience was overshadowed by a couple of key issues. First, the timing between check-in and check-out (4pm - 10am) did not allow for enough time to fully enjoy the place. The rigid schedule significantly cut into the enjoyment of the stay, making it feel rushed rather than relaxing. Second, I was subjected to a three-hour sales pitch for the vacation plan, which was neither expected nor welcome. What was supposed to be a brief introduction turned into a prolonged session, taking up valuable vacation time. While I appreciate the effort to offer vacation plans, the aggressive sales approach and limited time to relax left me feeling disappointed. It would be great if future guests could have more flexibility in the check-in/out process and less pressure to sit through lengthy presentations.

We have traveled to dozens of Marriott vacation clubs and this is one of the best ...it is small..24 units.. staff was very friendly the pool area that you can use next door at the big hotel is outstanding.. the beach is not great but walkable.. we had a wonderful time.. the two bedroom unit was spacious and huge.. it had everything we needed ..including 2 free cleaning services..our view was on the far right side of the resort in the trees area with trees in front of us and we thought that wasn't going to be a good view but we soon came to learn that the Macaws flying into those trees are absolutely beautiful.. we took the golf course iguana tour and it was outstanding highly recommend you do this and it's free... the restaurants at the hotel were pretty good not great but expensive but we enjoy them nonetheless..especially Hacienda Kitchen.. we also went to the restaurants and Al Fresco next door and Marina with mixed results.. we most liked CoCos on the beach..$7 cab fare..used a local taxi..cheaper than hotel transportation...outstanding cocktails for happy hour 4:00 to 7:00 p.m... we used Piko tours for all our daily tours and they were amazing. We also went during the rainy season and very worried about this.. however every day was sunny in the morning until about 2:00 p.m. , only rained 2 afternoons and 1 evening..we took rain jackets and never used them and we also took binoculars and never use them because all the guides had them and we took heavy hiking boots and didn't need those either just a good pair of tennis shoes would have been fine.. if you have the opportunity to visit this Resort on highly recommend you do
