As mentioned by other reviewers the surrounding area is very unappealing when compared to other areas in Costa Rica but the resort itself is very beautiful. Styled after a hacienda it is very open with an abundance of tile and gardens. Much attention is paid by the abundant staff to keep the ground meticulous. The main draw, besides the nicely... More

I travelled here as part of a Caravan tour. I did thoroughly enjoy the pleasant room and the awesome shower. The infinity pool was also very nice -- it is huge. And the air conditioning in the rooms was perfect!! (the lobby, however, is un-air-conditioned - and there is not enough seating in the restuarant to where you have to... More

This place is beautiful. The service was fantastic and the rooms were beyond compare. They were as nice as the rooms at the Sanctuary in Charleston, SC which is a five star US resort. The grounds were pristine and the included gratuity made life simple. The spectacular breakfast buffet is not to be missed. Everything ran right on time, from... More

I loved this hotel and the staff was awesome with only a few minor exceptions. Just going into low season only one restaurant open per night and they closed the bar directly at midnight in spite of 12 - 15 people asking for more time and drinks. I never did get a working coffee pot in my room during my... More

The resort is stunning. Beautiful rooms with luxury furnishings including marble, plush beds, dark wood furniture. It sits on a small bluff overlooking ocean. Service was very friendly and great - especially for Costa Rica. Pool huge and well maintained. Kids club lovely with nice staff and quality activities. Typical resort prices - high with lots of fees. But quality... More

We went to the JW Marriott for a wedding May 6, 2013. The rooms were lovely, but some, like ours lacked any view. Our "garden view" was to a rooftop lawn- but most faced the pool. The pool is really great- lots of nooks to feel private in, and open 24/7- so that was great. The staff was amazing- since... More

This is our last hotel stay with Caravan tour. We love this resort and will return when we go Costa Rica again. Everything about this hotel is excellent. All staffs are very friendly. We stay on third floor. The view from third floor is very pretty all around. There is a restaurant and a louge on third floor that you... More

This is a beautiful property with great dining experiences. At night you can hear the waves crashing.The bushes have speakers with soft zen like music. The rooms are beautiful with roll up screens on the patios. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Very nice pool and it is on a secluded beach. Staff could use a little more training to handle... More

My husband I and stayed three nights in May 2013. While this is the start of the rainy season, we had gorgeous weather. The hotel was booked at about 35-40% occupancy so it wasn't crowded at all. One side effect of that is that during the week, the Sabanero Steak House and Tamarine alternated being open. We didn't try the... More
