Where You’re Staying

Escape to a Hacienda-style resort with rustic wood accents, red brick floors, and garden or pool views. Guest rooms feature pillowtop mattresses with cotton linens and custom duvets. In the marble bathrooms, relax in the separate bathtub before slipping into your robe and slippers. Presidential suites feature a private whirlpool just steps from the beach, a comfortable living area, and a spacious dining room.

Where to Dine

JW Marriott Guanacaste offers 10 dining and bar destinations within its footprint. Sample international premium cuts of meat at Sabanero Steak House, try Asian fusion with Costa Rican ingredients at Tamarine, or savor fresh Mediterranean fare at Azul. Palapa is where you’ll find classic grilled favorites, Pimento Italian celebrates local flavors, and Pimento Breakfast offers casual a la carte options for the whole family. Satisfy your coffee and ice cream craving at Waves and Cream and try a cocktail at Sandbar Lounge, Barracuda, or Rum Bar.

Where to Relax

Indulge in treatments like massages, facials, and body wraps while surrounded by the sounds of falling water, the smells of incense, and the feel of a passing breeze. The Spa by JW Marriott is also where you’ll find a plunge pool and steam room, as well as separate men’s and women’s lounges. Keep up with your fitness regimen with a variety of cardio equipment and free weights at the 24-hour gym. Spend lazy days by the outdoor pool with infinity edge or relax your muscles after a day of exploring in the whirlpool.

What to Do

Within the private reserve, guests can take a guided nature walk and bicycle ride. For the more adventurous, ziplining, scuba diving, and jungle boat tours are available. Trot through miles of beach and countryside trails on an invigorating horseback riding adventure. Kids can have daily supervised adventures at the JW Adventure Kids Club.
