It was a wonderful oceanfront property and we had a fabulous vacation. The staff and food were excellent. My only suggestion is that they need some more nighttime activities not only for children, but for the adults, some live music some activities by the pool not everyone wants nothing to do after dinner ends at 8 o’clock.

I tried to do a lot of research to see best places for staying on the ocean. I like to swim and snorkel. The ocean was pretty but only a very small section was available for swimming and that area had pretty big waves. The rest of the resort was terrific! Just don’t go if you are avid beach and ocean lover.

Absolutely beautiful. Lots of onsite activities and it was really easy to plan excursions and trips into the more populated areas. The only thing that needs improvement was the food. Sabernero Steakhouse was delicious but all of the other food was extremely low quality for the price. Definitely expected way better for a resort of that caliber. The staff was excellent, the property and rooms were clean. They were very on top of resetting and cleaning the rooms each day as well. Overall, I’d highly recommend as long as you don’t have any expectations for great food onsite.

Beautiful property with an extraordinary pool and amenities. Our room was large, comfortable, and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and there were lots of activities at the resort. The only drawback in my opinion was that the resort was somewhat isolated and it was a 25-30 minute drive to get to restaurants and shopping in Tamarindo.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff very courteous. My daughters enjoyed the kids club. The pool was large and beautiful. I felt the rooms were very clean and spacious. The hotel does have its drawbacks. it’s isolated from everything and the road to get there is under construction so you have to drive through a long dirt road to get there off the gps and in part you lose cell signal. There are lines to check in, lines for breakfast, lines for restaurants. Could be better organized. The food at the restaurants was ok nothing to rave about. I had much better food outside the hotel. The breakfast buffet was pretty good though.

Our stay at the JW Marriott Resort Costa Rica exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. The property is absolutely stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds, a spectacular pool, and breathtaking views that create the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable. Every restaurant we visited served delicious food with excellent service, and there was a great variety of dining options to enjoy throughout our stay. Whether we were relaxing by the pool, walking along the beach, or enjoying the resort’s amenities, every experience felt first-class. What truly sets this resort apart is the people. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel like valued guests. If you’re looking for a luxury vacation in Costa Rica that combines beautiful scenery, outstanding service, and world-class amenities, the JW Marriott Resort Costa Rica is an exceptional choice. We can’t wait to return!
