This Marriott is simply a great place. The people who work here are warm and friendly. Even though it is a "Marriott", it could very well be owned by local Costa Ricans because you feel like it belongs here. The structure is definately locally designed. The rooms are comfortable and updated. The food at the hotel is great and they... More

We have just returned from a four night stay at the Costa Rica Marriott. The architecture of this resort is absolutely stunning and the Spanish colonial decor is sublime. Although located outside the city, it is a 'business' hotel' with many resort attributes including a beautiful pool, pool decks and wonderful landscaping - it is definitely not your typical Marriott...

Rooms, common areas, gym, pool, and lobby were beautiful and clean. The restaurants in the hotel were more expensive than comparable ones in the United States. It is less expensive to take a taxi off-site to a local restaurant than to eat at the hotel's restaurants! The breakfast buffet is expansive and delicious - try to negotiate that into your... More

We don't usually do 5 Star but this was worth it and it was value for money. We treated ourselves to a 1 night stay at the beginning of our trip and at the end and it was such a good decision! My other half and I are fairly well travelled and usually only stay in 3 star + when... More

We recently returned from 4 nights at the Marriott in San Jose, the 1st 3 nights then our last night in CR. We visited the Osa Peninsula in between for 5 nights. The Marriott is conveniently close to the airport and has a complimentary shuttle which runs every half hour. The hotel is very beautiful with mountain views. Exotic flowers... More

When I recently traveled to Costa Rica I wanted to be IN Costa Rica - well you definitely aren't going to get that at the Marriott - you are like at the Airport..far from town ( a long taxi ride though taxies were easy to come by) -- and you are surrounded by rich americans -- which is fine, i...

This is the most amazing Marriott I have ever stayed in. My husband and I chose the hotel as a starting point for our trip to Arenal...one night at the beginning of the trip and one at the end. It had a free airport shuttle which I liked. The shuttle driver was right there to greet us and was a... More

My fiance and I LOVED THIS PLACE!! It is truly luxurious...we had just gotten done with an 8 day trip to various parts of Costa Rica w/o TV, phone, etc and this was just the place to relax and unwind before having to go back to the U.S. Upon our arrival, the service was impeccable and it was probably the...

My wife and I stayed at the Costa Rica Marriott for two nights in March, 2006 for a total of $686 including all meals, taxes, service charges, etc. The hotel is very attractive and the grounds are lovely. The pool area was especially appealing and a very pleasant area to just sit and relax or read a book. However, the... More
