Business travellers will appreciate such conveniences as a laptop safe and a photocopier, along with access to a conference room.

“JW Marriott Guanacaste presents itself as a sprawling Hacienda-style resort, though some details suggest it's striving to fully meet a true five-star standard; expect well-maintained grounds, a prime beach location within Hacienda Pinilla, and generally attentive service. I appreciate the several dining options, including the Beach Club, and the special perks such as the astronomy observatory and curated local activities that elevate the stay; improvements in some facilities would certainly enhance the overall experience.”
