The property is beautiful and the staff very helpful and accomodating. There is a good variety of onsite restaurants and bars. The Pool is magnificent. We will definitely stay at this resort again.
JW Marriott is an excellent resort. Beautiful property,extremely helpful staff. Excellent restaurants and a large gym. Beach is beautiful. Golf course conditions were poor.
Great experience overall! Beautiful place, friendly service, and a relaxing stay. I recommend planning activities and reservations ahead of time to make the most of your trip!
It was a wonderful oceanfront property and we had a fabulous vacation. The staff and food were excellent. My only suggestion is that they need some more nighttime activities not only for children, but for the adults, some live music some activities by the pool not everyone wants nothing to do after dinner ends at 8 o’clock.
Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!
This property is amazing! My family and I had such a relaxing time. The staff is super friendly, the rooms were clean and very family friendly as my son loved the pool and the beach access was so convenient.
We have stayed at many all inclusive! This is by far one of the best! Food was so good we were in shock! Staff was so friendly and helpful. Pool was perfect temperature, easy beach access, suite was perfect! I really can't say enough positives. We traveled with children and they had a blast! Do the all inclusive! If not it is very pricey!
Absolutely beautiful. Lots of onsite activities and it was really easy to plan excursions and trips into the more populated areas. The only thing that needs improvement was the food. Sabernero Steakhouse was delicious but all of the other food was extremely low quality for the price. Definitely expected way better for a resort of that caliber. The staff was excellent, the property and rooms were clean. They were very on top of resetting and cleaning the rooms each day as well. Overall, I’d highly recommend as long as you don’t have any expectations for great food onsite.
Beautiful property with an extraordinary pool and amenities. Our room was large, comfortable, and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and there were lots of activities at the resort. The only drawback in my opinion was that the resort was somewhat isolated and it was a 25-30 minute drive to get to restaurants and shopping in Tamarindo.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Every member of that staff that I interacted with had a smile on their face and was happy to answer any questions or help in any way. The room was clean and spacious. Highly recommend upgrading to the garden or pool view room. The resort had everything we needed!
The JW Marriott was the perfect weekend getaway. The staff were friendly, and very attentive to your needs. I opted out of the All inclusive package, but guests confirmed that several on site restaurants were up to standard and near worth it. The sandbar was convenient, and offered the opportunity to watch the World Cup. The property overall was spacious, and grounds were well kept. I’d rate the stay 8/10 since we found a live scorpion just before hopping in bed for our last night. The hotel staff didn’t not offer anything, but an apology. They stated it is the norm. Overall, Thank you. The scorpion is forever going to live in my thoughts.
