10/10 Excellent
"The hotel staff was great, they were very welcoming. The room I believe had the nicest balcony and an incredible view, we loved it. The toilets are amazing, they come with a bidet and the seats are warm. The beds were very comfortable and the only noise we heard were the ocean waves. The restaurant below is aesthetically pleasing, great service and the food was very very good. The pool was awesome. There’s also another restaurant above that’s a sushi bar. They gave us different choices for breakfast. We only had two minor incidents: the WiFi didn’t work on our room, hence we had no tv and the main door frame was falling apart. It has secure parking. Although it may not seem like it, it’s family friendly, we went with our 5 year old. We will definitely be coming back!"

"The staff and employees truly made our experience exceptional. The company should recognize just how important its people are to the success of the business. Any time we had any major concerns (and we had a couple), it was addressed immediately, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. What stood out most was how committed they were to providing an outstanding guest experience. This included the housekeeping team, manager, bell staff, restaurant and bar personnel, pool staff, spa and massage team, as well as Mitchell, Adam, Marcus, Massiel, Roy, Tony, and other teams member. Everyone we interacted with was professional, attentive, and genuinely focused on delivering excellent service.Because of the people who work here, we will absolutely return. They made a lasting impression and were the reason our stay was so enjoyable."

Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort

Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort

8/10 Good
"We stayed at the Los Sueños Marriott as a family and overall were satisfied, particularly for the rate we paid. Our family room was large, spacious, clean and well maintained, with a generous balcony. The balcony is shared with the neighbouring room but divided by furniture. Our view was of the rear/service area of one of the restaurants, which wasn’t particularly attractive but didn’t bother us. The air conditioning appeared fixed and couldn’t be adjusted. The arrival experience could be improved. We arrived at 2pm but had to wait until the official 4pm check-in, which feels quite late compared with many hotels. We didn’t receive a welcome drink or particularly warm reception, and limited information about the resort was provided. It was largely a case of finding things yourself through the app. Our booking included $80 resort credit per night, which was welcome, although food and drink are expensive so it doesn’t go far. We were also disappointed that many offers were limited to Marriott Platinum members; a happy hour for all guests would be a nice addition. Complimentary activities were a real positive, including 30-minute self-guided paddleboarding and kayaking. The pools are large and spacious. It’s a huge resort and clearly caters for corporate events, but this didn’t affect us. We visited in the July rainy season and enjoyed how quiet the hotel was. Overall, not our favourite hotel in Costa Rica, but a comfortable stay and reasonable value for the price we paid."
