JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa in Costa Rica offers the ultimate sumptuous Costa Rica vacation and a lifetime of memories. With 310 luxuriously appointed guest rooms, including 20 Junior Suites, and Presidential suite, this Costa Rica resort, with its Spanish Colonial theme, already has been labelled as one of the most exclusive resorts in Latin America. This beautiful resort is situated on a secluded Mansita beach on Costa Rica’s stunning north-western coast in a prime location within the famous Hacienda Pinilla, a unique and sophisticated residential beach and golf community. The hotel is located about 52 miles from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia. Designed around the concept of “rustic luxury”, guests enjoy an ideal balance between an authentic Costa Rican experience and the comforts of the modern world.
The JW Marriott Guanacaste is luxury on your own terms. My husband and I loved our stay there in August, 2009, and can’t wait to go back. The service was absolutely phenomenal and the staff will bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. With outstanding personalized service in a beautiful setting, the resort is aimed at anticipating your every need. And the meticulous attention to detail only serves to make your stay all the more memorable.
At the heart of the resort lies a large and elegant infinity pool, while the magnificent Pacific Ocean and Mansita or Calm Waters Beach is but a few steps away. The hotel features a free-flowing pool that covers more than 25,000 feet or area and provides a combination of private alcoves for couples and fun-filled excitement for families.
