Traci, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were AMAZING such lovely people I truly cannot express that enough. However, location a little inconvenient as there is a required dirt path that you need to take to leave and come in. The path is so raggedy and bumpy it’s almost painful. Other than that this resort is amazing

GE, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property, huge pool, variety of restaurants. Slightly isolated from any towns (half hour drive to Tamarindo and they have a shuttle). Walked to a nice beach restaurant, Lola’s. Could advertise that the spa has a sauna, steam room and small pool. Spa prices were high for Central America but service was good. Really enjoyed the Tamarine Restaurant. Room was very comfortable with a large bathtub. Pool is huge. Nice property, about an hour and a half from Liberia airport. Found a less expensive van to and from Liberia airport than what the Marriott offered.
Maria, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the best resorts at which we’ve ever stayed. The food at the restaurants we visited was world class, the staff was friendly and attentive (a special shout out to Marco for leading morning yoga practices on the beach), the fitness center was well-appointed, and every day felt like paradise!

Food and beverage could definitely use some help. The food was not up to par with Marriott anywhere else and the drinks were watered down

8/10 Very good

For the price point it was a bit of a disappointment. Food and service on the resort was mediocre at best with the Italian restaurant being the worst. Would have expected more from a JW Marriott.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property right on the beach. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Many activities offered at the resort which is included in your stay, We really enjoyed the cooking class and mountain biking tour. There are also activities around the property in Hacienda Pinilla. We loved the horseback riding tour. The concierge and the transportation staff were very helpful and always made sure we were taken care of, especially if we had a schedule change. The property is 30 minutes from Tamarindo so we were able to do some shopping. We loved staying here and plan on coming back again.
