I love this place. Been coming here for over 15 years and it still doesn't disappoint. Everything about this place is just beautiful. The Breakfast buffet is a must. Massage is another must have when you visit here. Honestly there's nothing I can say that will be anywhere near the experience of enjoying sunsets in the pool with a cool breeze cocktail in one hand and your loved one in the other.

Amazing! One of the best resorts I've been to. A bit of a drive from Liberia but absolutely worth it. Beautiful, clean, great staff and wonderful views. I can't wait to come back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the JW Marriott in Costa Rica! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was top-notch—every staff member we encountered was kind, welcoming, and eager to help. One moment that really stood out was when we were running late returning from an excursion and showed up over an hour late for our reservation at the steakhouse. We expected to miss out, but they graciously accommodated us, and the meal turned out to be incredible. The food throughout our stay was amazing and surprisingly well-priced, especially for the quality. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool area was stunning—spacious, relaxing, and well-maintained. Overall, our stay at the JW Marriott felt like a true luxury experience without the inflated price tag. We also stayed at Secrets Papagayo during this trip in their honeymoon suite, and honestly, the service and overall experience at JW Marriott were far better—even at a fraction of the cost. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Costa Rica!
