We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at JW Marriott Guanacaste. The staff was friendly, helpful and always available. The pool was amazing, along with the beach. Our ocean view room was just as we expected -- breathtaking view! We highly recommend a visit here.

10/10 Exceptional

Spent a full week at the JW Marriott and had a really great time with my family (wife and 2 girls 10&11). The hotel was really great when it comes to the pool, beach, staff, parking, and rooms. But really the only downside, is that even for a guy who does pretty darn good for himself, the food prices are just plain crazy, and the selection is very mediocre. $24 for a ham sandwich people, $26 burgers, $22 chicken strips, and if you want to eat at the italian buffet $50 a person for mediocre pasta and pizza...I heard the country can be expensive but its just kind of ridiculous.

One of the best resorts at which we’ve ever stayed. The food at the restaurants we visited was world class, the staff was friendly and attentive (a special shout out to Marco for leading morning yoga practices on the beach), the fitness center was well-appointed, and every day felt like paradise!

For the price point it was a bit of a disappointment. Food and service on the resort was mediocre at best with the Italian restaurant being the worst. Would have expected more from a JW Marriott.

10/10 Exceptional

We just got back from a week at the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa and we had a such a great time. We flew in to the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (Liberia Airport), used the recommended transport ( Go CR Vision ) on the JW Marriott web site for our transportation to and from the JW. and made the reservation on line. They were ontime both times and had great service! The entire stay was wonderful at the JW Marriott. We visited all restaurants and used room service and had great service and food was amazing. The other thing that was a pleasant surprise was that every time we pointed out our youngest daughters allergies (dairy and gluten) they could always remake something on all menus that would accommodate her as well as me as I am a vegan. The Tamarine was my personal favorite and we ate there a few times. The coffee/ice cream shop was great for coffee in the morning. I honestly have nothing to complain about. The property was beautiful and clean, the service was wonderful and we just had a great time. We took one excursion, a catamaran / snorkeling trip and made the reservation via the tour office at the JW and that was lovely as well. We didn't have any safety concerns but also didn't go into any cities on the whole trip and generally stayed with recommended tour groups or transportation services. There are iguanas and geckos everywhere! Also didn't have any mosquito problems on the property at all!

Beautiful property right on the beach. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Many activities offered at the resort which is included in your stay, We really enjoyed the cooking class and mountain biking tour. There are also activities around the property in Hacienda Pinilla. We loved the horseback riding tour. The concierge and the transportation staff were very helpful and always made sure we were taken care of, especially if we had a schedule change. The property is 30 minutes from Tamarindo so we were able to do some shopping. We loved staying here and plan on coming back again.

Pricey is ok, but only if you provide excellent service and food. This resort keeps the high prices but does not offer great service or even good food. There are times during the day when many restaurants are not even open. The quality of the food and preparation was not great.
