This hotel has from the inside gives you the feeling of an elegant Spanish colonial neighborhood, with a laid back touch of hammocks hanging in the corridors, but from the beach side, with some rock on the walls, they try to give a more modern look. The rooms are spacious, well decorated, but the a/c makes a loud noise when... more

We enjoyed our stay at the JW for the last 3 days of our honeymoon. We thought the grounds were very nice as they were understated but very authentic of the Guanacaste region. Our room was beautifully appointed & spacious. The pool is beautiful and almost looks as if it will flow directly into the ocean! We ate at all... more

The JW Marriot was awesome! The room was extremely comfortable. I spent a lot of time on the screened in patio looking over the gardens and reading.

The service was top notch from the valet, to reception to the servers. The room was very comfortable and stylish. We had lunch on the... more

We had the opportunity to stay at the JW in the Guanacaste Region while attending a conference for about 5 days. The hotel is brand new and really is quite beautiful. It is situated directly on the Pacific beach within a 5,000 acre development known as Hacienda Pinella. Our room was on the fifth floor and was nice sized with... more
