About Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort

Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort sits on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, 800 meters west of the Herradura entrance in Jacó, and it is built for guests who want a long, easy holiday without leaving the grounds. Days here can start slowly. Order breakfast to your room, step onto a terrace or balcony, and decide between the beach and the pool.

Water is the main theme. The resort is beachfront, with sun loungers, beach chairs and sun umbrellas set out for lazy hours. There is an outdoor pool, an infinity pool and a pool with a view, plus a pool bar for drinks without leaving the water's edge. Younger swimmers have a kids' pool and swimming pool toys. For something more active, the resort has water sport facilities on site and offers snorkelling and fishing. A daily resort fee covers kayaks, stand up paddle boards and pool floats.

The resort also works well for guests who prefer to stay on land. Hiking, cycling, horse riding, walking tours and bike tours are all available, and the resort fee covers bicycles and the La Iguana Ecotour. Golfers have a golf course and a driving range, while the tennis court, tennis equipment and mini golf suit casual games. Families can use the kids' club, the children's playground and the kids' outdoor play equipment, and the restaurant serves kid meals. After a full day, the spa and wellness center offers massage services, beauty services, manicures and pedicures, with a sauna, a steam room and a fitness center. Yoga and fitness classes are on the schedule too.

Evenings are lively. Entertainment staff run live music, movie nights and bingo, live sport is broadcast, and a happy hour gets the bar going. Rooms are air-conditioned and include free WiFi, a minibar and a safe. Many have balconies or terraces with ocean, rainforest, garden or pool views, and some come with an in-room hammock. Free parking, valet parking, a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service keep the practical side simple.
