Travelers looking to get away from the chaos and confusion of populated urban centers would be wise to choose this destination. Aside from lounging along the beach and swimming in the ocean, visitors can enjoy world-class surfing at Tamarindo, Langosta, and Avellanas. Horseback rides along the coast are popular, as are scuba diving and sport fishing tours.
Set along the shores of a pristine private beach, the JW Marriott makes vacationing easy. It’s stocked with an armful of services and amenities – including a massive pool, four restaurants, a spa and more – that allow guests to choose how they’d like to spend their time. The hotel itself expansive, with a design that draws off the Spanish colonial style. Ocean views are offered around every corner, with hammocks and wooden chairs placed throughout.
The ocean is only a stone’s throw away. Guests can relax along the beach or on the sides of the expansive, resort-style infinity swimming pool. There is a Jacuzzi to soak in and a spa that offers body scrubs and wraps, manicures and pedicures, massages, waxing and more. On the other hand, there’s a gym – equipped with cardiovascular machines and free weights – and a volleyball court where guests can get their blood pumping. The hotel even offers complimentary fitness classes. Meals can be taken at one of the Marriott’s four exquisite restaurants, each of which embraces a different culinary style – there’s Mediterranean and Asian food, a steakhouse, and an international restaurant.
The rooms at the Marriott are both spacious and luxurious. They have tile floors, plush beds, and a furnished balcony with ocean/garden views. The bathrooms have two sinks, a hot water shower, and a deep-soaking bathtub. All rooms come equipped with air conditioning, a living/sitting area, and safe deposit box. Wireless internet and cable TV make it easy to stay connected, and a mini bar offers up an assortment of refreshing beverages.
