“Fabulous”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

Beautiful beach, weather, pool and hotel, what a winning combination! We stayed here for 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff , room and grounds were definitely 5 star. We loved everything about it. I especially enjoyed the balcony, with two comfy chairs and ottoman, a table and two chairs overlooking the pool. They even had... More

Problem with this review?

Dear Guest; Thank you for the 5 stars. Don’t worries about stay longer this time; our doors are always open for you and your family. Find Iguanas at the Hacienda is very common. I am glad this one didn’t bother you. We would be waiting for your next visit. Regards; Jesus Gonzalez General Manager More

“Stars Were Not Aligned For Us”

My husband and I booked an ocean front room for 4 nights as part of our 2 week romantic couple get away throughout Costa Rica. My expectations of a JW luxury property were not met. Positives: beautiful property, rooms are gorgeous, nice pool, loved the Nao "lobby" bar which had some nice food options and sushi, service here was good... More

“Beautiful Quiet Resort”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

This is a beautiful hotel! It is somewhat secluded and you have to drive on a dirt road for a little ways to get there but if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, beautiful, vacation destination then this is the place! We read reviews before we booked here and were somewhat hesitant about booking here with all the reviews... More

Dear Guest; Thank you for your wonderful comments about our Resort and service. Our Concierge has the information about the tides during the week, since usually the tide does rise at certain hours. I am glad you were able to walk along the beach and get to Lola’s, which is a popular spot in this area. Your safety is most... More

“A Nice Resort”

Reviewed May 6, 2013

I don't know why this hotel has so many negative reviews. It is a beautiful resort with very accommodating staff. The food and beverage are very good. The AC in the rooms was great. The pool and beach were great. Don't listen to anyone that says you can't swim in the ocean, there is an area with no rocks that... More

Dear Guest; We appreciate every single comment in regards to the hotel, it’s what helps us know what is working and what needs improvement. Thank you for your review, I am glad you got to relax during your vacation and swim in the ocean. Hope you visit us again in the future. Regards; Jesus Gonzalez General Manager More

“A nice resort on the ocean”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

Stayed for 6 nights with kids. A long ride from Liberia airport. Efficient front office staff, quick check in. Rooms are spacious. Bed quality is standard JW. Large balcony. Had an ocean view room overlooking the pool. Wireless has decent speed, but not in all restaurants. Unpredictable turn down service - some days yes some days none. Room cleaning time... More

Dear Guest; I appreciate all your feedback since this is the only way we can know which areas we need to improve. I hope your kids have had a great time with us. Your rating on our Restaurants is low for us, so if it possible for you to let us know what exactly was wrong so we may correct... More

“Beautiful Hacienda Style Resort on Beachfront Ranch”

This is the first time I have ever driven down a dirt road and dodged cows to get to a JW Marriott. This place is hard to find in the dark (as in "this can't be right" but it is!) The hotel is beautiful, well maintained and a contrast to funky, dusty Tamarindo. If you don't want to run up... More

Dear Guest; Unfortunately not all the roads in Costa Rica, especially Guanacaste where we are located, are paved. Finding cows as well as other animals inside the Hacienda is fairly common, it’s part of the landscape. I regret you didn’t try to our Steak House since I am sure you would had liked it, but I am glad you and... More

“Excellent Experience”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

We spent 7 days in Guanacaste, Costa Rica at the JWM. The food is very good. The dance instructor, Victor, is excellent. Great teacher of the Cha Cha Cha and Merengue. The service was pretty good. The pool is even better in person and the beach is very nice. We surfed in Tamarindo. The only negative is the road leading... More

Dear Guest; Yes! Victor is a great dancer. He can dance almost every dance that there is, so maybe for your next visit you may learn some other dances. Good to know that you really enjoy your time during your visit. Surfing and Dancing. Sincerely; Jesus Gonzalez General Manager More

“Beautiful, Upscale Resort, Lot of Local Activities”

A large,well appointed resort, with spacious, attractive, well furnished rooms, with excellent airconditioning and panoramic ocean views from the "Oceanfront" room we had. They have not spared any expense in making this a 5 star property for Costa Rica. The staff ratio to guests is very high it seems as there are countless staff members everywhere on the property.

We enjoyed our stay at the JW Marriott Guanacaste. Our family traveled here in November last year (2012) and we had a great experience. My husband and I traveled back to the same area just a few months later with his company and stayed at another major hotel chain, and we were more impressed with the JW. We didn't realize... More
