Marriott Guanacaste Celebrates
its Grand Opening in Costa Rica
Marriott International celebrated this
week the grand opening of its 310-room JW Marriott Guanacaste
Resort & Spa in Santa Cruz, Costa Rica. The resort is operated under
a franchise agreement with Hotel Real de Pinilla, a subsidiary of

International-branded hotel in the country.
The new resort is located approximately one hour from the Daniel

Hacienda Pinilla Beach Resort & Residential community. Perfectly
situated on the Pacific Ocean, the new and growing development
offers an 18-hole golf course, equestrian center, tennis courts, as
well as the JW Marriott Guanacaste Spa.
“We are delighted to work with Real Hotels & Resorts, and to see our
award-winning JW Marriott brand grow in Latin America, “ said Ed
Fuller, president and managing director of international lodging for
Marriott. “Costa Rica is an exciting leisure and incentive travel
destination, especially for eco-tourism, and attracts a diverse
group of visitors. Coupled with Marriott’s global reputation for
service and quality of product, we are confident this resort will be
successful.”
Speaking for Real Hotels & Resorts, President & Chief Executive
Officer Ricardo Poma, said “Our company is thrilled to be working
with Marriott on this unique project. Our goal is to position it as
the preferred resort for travelers to Costa Rica.”
For dining and entertainment the resort features six dining outlets
including two specialty dining restaurants offering traditional
Costa Rican and contemporary international cuisine, as well as a
variety of other restaurant options for guests.
For conferences and social events, the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort
& Spa has over 75,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, ranging
from intimate conference rooms to larger ballroom facilities.
The current Marriott International lodging portfolio in Costa Rica
includes the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San José, the Los Sueños
