"This was our first time in Costa Rica, the Resort was absolutely beautiful and the staff was helpful and friendly. We stayed at the Marriot Vacation Club. Our room was clean and super cute. My favorite part was sitting on my balcony every evening, The only complaint that I would have is that the food was expensive but the views were well worth it."

"Stayed in the Estrella room, it was beyond beautiful. Long scenic walk to the room, kitchenette, and filtered water in the full sized fridge. Staff was very kind and helpful, since the hotel was 6 hours from SJO we had to leave at 4 am and to our surprise there was a staff member there to assist with checkout. There are no key drop-boxes, so I was worried about how we were going to return it. Overall an amazing stay."

"Always my go to place to stay if it’s available. Wonderful staff, food and location! I love that I can never leave the resort but still have an amazing time after it rained the entire time my previous visit. And even better to come back to after a day out playing in the area and relaxing on the beach for sunset while enjoying one of their many cocktails. It is also reassuring to see the same people working there year after year."
