Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort

Marriott Los Sueños Resort & Marina was the perfect place for my family and me to spend Thanksgiving, and it turned our holiday into a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who were consistently kind, attentive, and made us feel like family rather than just guests. Our room was beautiful—spacious, spotless, and with a balcony that gave us incredible views every morning. Sitting outside with my coffee while the kids got ready became one of my favorite parts of the day. The pool area was a huge hit with the whole family. There was plenty of space for the kids to play, while my wife and I could relax and actually unwind. Thanksgiving dinner at the resort was outstanding. They created a festive, warm atmosphere while still keeping the quality and elegance you expect from a top-tier resort. The food throughout our stay was consistently excellent, from fresh seafood to local Costa Rican flavors. The marina views, peaceful beach walks, and nearby adventures made it easy to balance relaxation and fun. This trip gave us real family memories, and that’s priceless. We’re already talking about coming back.

The Marriott Los Suenos is a fantastic Marriott property! Beautifully located on the Central Pacific Coast, there is much to see. We were recognized as Marriott status members daily by the very attentive and professional staff. The service and attention to detail was fabulous. The rooms, pool, restaurants, and the swim up bar were all great. There were more restaurants here than at most Marriott properties, and they were all good. They even have a sushi bar in the lobby! We enjoyed renting a golf cart from the Marina Village close by and exploring the Los Suenos community in the golf cart. We also highly recommend Piko Travel (www.pikotravel.com) for your transfers to/from SJO Airport—very affordable and it’s a private transport in a nice van…..they were on time and highly professional. We also used Piko Travel for 5 different excursions we booked while there, and they were fantastic. This company if family owned and small and they really gave us the authentic Costa Rican experience. We did the Organic Coffee Farm Tour, ATV Tour, Mangrove Kayak Tour, and private guide tours of Manual Antonio Park and Carara National Park. We already have booked ourselves to come back next year and plan to use them again, as well as staying at the Marriott Los Suenos. Pure Vida!

Please if you are black/of African decent don’t stay here. PLEASE! Not safe. The manger Brenda (female) at the front desk was so rude and insulting. Told us to stay at a best western HOW INSULTING. After we booked reserved rooms here. They attempted to CHANGE the prices rate from $142 a night to $567 and when we asked why she couldn’t give a straight answer. Upon further looking around we are the only people of color here. They offered no other options after spending 5+hours flying to Costa Rica then a 3+ hour $300 taxi ride to the hotel. Left us sitting in the lobby. When we asked for more information on why or other hotel options she suggested a best western. Even as an American I have NEVER even been inside of a best western. Brenda was being insulting towards us. By even suggesting it. Then when we wanted to cancel she wanted to charge us a cancellation fee! Thankfully another gentleman stepped in and made sure we didn’t get charged a fee. What a mess. How disgusting to treat guest this way. Again it’s 8pm at night and we have been traveling all day. BRENDA needs to do better with treating ALL Bonvoy MARRIOT guests the same. We are bonvoy members. I will also be reaching out to marriot bonvoy member services to file an official complaint. We are beyond dissatisfied and upset behind our treatment. In a foreign country. Literally left us stranded. Either pay the exaggerated price or leave. How sad. But corporate will be called.

This is the nicest place I've ever stayed at. The staff treats you right, and they all seem like they enjoy their jobs. The views are magnificent. The pools are enormous, so even when there are a lot of people, it doesn't feel crowded. If you don't want to swim, you can relax on the beach, as it's very shallow and goes out 100 feet at low tide. The hotel always has events going on and I recommend doing the eco-iguanas tour as you will see two sloths during it. There is a famous golf course, soccer field, tennis courts, mini golf, and a marina nearby. You won't get bored at this resort as there is something for everyone. The only thing I would complain about is the food prices and the thickness of the walls. The food is a bit overpriced, since you are staying at a resort, you should expect it. The walls are a little thin; I was staying in an ocean-view room, and I could hear the family next door talking and yelling. Overall, this resort is 98/100 as you can see wildlife. I counted 60 iguanas, two macaws, two sloths, and some other animals I can't remember the names of. If you are staying in Costa Rica, check this place out as you won't regret it!

Great location once you get here. It's remote and a long drive from SJO airport. Very picturesque and relaxing after settling in though. Food is fantastic. Views are breathtaking. The pool and swim up bar were our favorite amenities. The pool is huge! The hotel itself is a bit old and dated, but the air conditioning the room is great for those of us from the U.S. who are used to not living without it when it's warm and humid.

Most amazing resort I have ever visited!! We went for my wife’s 70th birthday and from the moment we arrived to the last moment there we were treated and I should emphasize TREATED to the very best amazing experience ever. Every employee knew it was her birthday and knew who she was they went beyond everything I could imagine to make it such a special occasion. The breakfast was always excellent and dinners were a bit pricey but in line with other places and truly delicious. I have never had a tuna steak like the one prepared a Hacienda. In all if you want to be amazed by true hospitality book yourself here

The staff is the friendliest I’ve encountered at all the Marriots I’ve visited. There are plenty of activities for kids—mini golf, pools, art, soccer, ping pong. There are yoga and dance classes. A full spa with a beautiful view. The golf course is vast and and well maintained. You can see iguanas, macaws, monkeys and sloths on the property. Manuel Antonio park is about 1.5 hours away by car. Close to Jaco and easy to get to from San Jose airport.

We visited with approx 8 other couples to celebrate my husband and his friend's dual 50th birthday. A great time was had by all. We all got swim up rooms which was great because it gave us all a place to congregate away from the main pool. The rooms were not special, but clean and the A/C cranked. Good food and drink options. I can't recommend the breakfast buffet enough surprisingly. We ate, drank, visited the spa (reasonably priced), went fishing, ATVing, zip lining you name it. There was something for everyone and a good time was had by all.|||Coco's on Playa Herradura is a great off property restaurant option.
