I stepped out of my car and everyone already knew my name. The quality of service here is above and beyond anything I have ever had before. As a platinum Marriott rewards member with over 170 stays this year, I find that this is the nicest Marriott I have ever stayed in. The restaurants were fantastic, I suggest Tamarine for... more

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights celebrating our 10 year anniversary after staying at Tabacon (a must- spa is to die for!) and San Jose Marriot (very nice). All these reviews are very much accurate- beautiful place, Amazing Staff, probably the best rooms we’ve ever stayed in, but the location could be a serious problem if you... more

This is a great hotel if you want to just hang out, lounge around and just take in the sun. The grounds are beautiful, with a great pool and great staff. The spa is secluded with private bungalows. The only drawback is that the hotel is in a gated community and far from the nearest town. The beach was nowhere... more

This hotel was a highlight of our honeymoon. Because we were there in Oct, it was low season so they were running with only 20% of the rooms filled. So all the staff got to know our names pretty quickly. Overall, a fantastic experience and I'd recommend it. Pros: Pool was amazing. Really nice staff. Loved the breakfasts. Room service... more

I very much liked this hotel and the service was excellent. Our room was very nicely decorated with a wihirlpool tub in the bath and a very comfortable bed that just sucks you in. Just don't expect to save money because you're in Central America. I live full time in Costa Rica and the prices at this hotel are just... more

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in Mid October and really loved it. We drove there from San Jose and it took about 5 hours with stops. The roads were not bad until the very end where it was dirt roads for the last 30 mins or so. We had a GPS and this was a huge help.... more

Echoing all the reviews, this place is just amazing. Yes, it's a bit far away but I recommend renting a car to get around. However, I actually think its a great experience to drive away from more of the touristy places to Hacienda Pinilla (the complex where the hotel is located). When I'm going on vacation, I like to feel... more

Just got back from our 2nd trip to this lovely resort that opened less than a year ago. We used Rewards points for two rooms (one for my 70 year old parents and 1 for my wife, myself, and 4 year old daughter). While some international properties don't always feel the need to upgrade Platinums who are using points, we... more

We have stayed at many fine 5 star hotels in our lifetime, and this JW Marriott property is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The service and the property reminded us of the Four Seasons in Punta Mita. The rooms are decorated beautifully and the views are outstanding. This is a great place to relax and unwind,... more
