JW Marriott Guanacaste, a radiant five-star hacienda-style retreat on the serene shores of Playa Mansita within Hacienda Pinilla, weaves the essence of Costa Rica's rich biodiversity with luxurious tranquility, offering an enchanting escape where fiery sunsets and authentic charm captivate.

The 310 air-conditioned guest rooms and suites, designed for serene comfort, shimmer with elegance, featuring flat-screen TVs, plush bedding, and sleek bathrooms with premium toiletries. Each room boasts a private balcony with garden, pool, or ocean views, crafting an idyllic sanctuary for families, couples, or adventure seekers. Complimentary Wi-Fi ensures seamless connectivity, enhancing this opulent haven.

Culinary artistry shines across four gastronomic havens: Azul Grill offers beachfront dining, Tamarine serves Asian fusion, Sabanero delivers genuine Guanacastecan steakhouse flavours, and Mansita Restaurant blends local and international cuisine. Guests can revive their senses at the award-winning spa, bask in the spectacular infinity pool, relax in outdoor Jacuzzis, or energize in the fully equipped fitness centre. The Kids Club, equestrian centre, tennis courts, and 18-hole coastal golf course, paired with off-site adventures like surfing lessons, zip-lining, horseback riding, kayaking, and wildlife tours, are curated by attentive concierge services, igniting exploration of Tamarindo's vibrant scene just a short ride away.

Perched on Mansita Beach with access to four other Hacienda Pinilla beaches, 12 km from Tamarindo, and 70 km from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, JW Marriott Guanacaste offers parking and effortless access to Costa Rica's coastal adventures and cultural treasures. This luminous haven ignites an exquisite fusion of opulent luxury and the vibrant pulse of Guanacaste's biodiversity-rich heart.
