Location

With a sweeping volcanic sand beach flanked by rocky headlands, Herradura Bay is named after its shape, for herradura translates as ‘horseshoe’. With a backdrop of lush, green mountains behind its perfect golf course, Marriott’s Los Sueños development sits near the marina at the northern end of the horseshoe. Nearby attractions include the vibrant surf town of Jacó and the Carara National Park. The capital city is only 90 minutes away from this beautiful spot on Costa Rica’s Green Coast.

Accomodation

If facilities, efficiency, service and lots of dining options are what you need, then Los Sueños ticks the right boxes. It’s relatively large, but we rate it because of its accessibility, its quality and its setting between the beach and the lush, forest-clad mountains.

There’s a variety of room and suite options, all of which are expansive and luxurious. Some even come with an in-room hammock, and it’s hard to beat the indulgent option of a swim-up room next to the adults-only pool.
Fear not if you have kids, for the provision of swimming pools snaking through the manicured grounds at Los Sueñnos is copious. Indeed, this is a very family-friendly place, so it’s perfect for keeping all ages happy.

An elegant place for a cool drink is in a deep sofa by the grand piano in the Great Room. Then decide which of the dining options suits your mood. Could it be Zoe for Mediterranean fare by the pool, or La Panga for the best birra tacos? Otherwise, there’s Casa del Café, 18 & Greene, or Bar Ocho. Choice is what this place is about.

Experiences

Well connected to a couple of national parks and a host of locations where you can experience thrills, adventure, wildlife, or just tranquillity, Los Sueños provides plenty of things to do.

  • Venture out to Carara National Park, across its famous ‘crocodile bridge’. It’s a good place to spot cheeky and vibrant scarlet macaws, of which there are more than 150 living in the reserve.
  • Take a stroll along the peaceful sands of the bay to the Los Sueños marina or just spend time using all the facilities in the grounds. There’s beach volleyball, floodlit tennis courts, and the Sibö Rainforest Spa & Retreat.
  • Tee off at the resort’s on-site golf course, an 18-hole, par-72 beauty designed by Ted Robinson. It almost redefines the word ‘green’.
  • Head along the coast to nearby Jacó. This laid-back beach town has a great art and surf scene. With Playa Herradura, it hosts the nation’s annual surf festival.
  • Enjoy paddleboarding and ocean kayaking on Herradura Bay, and if you’d rather see it from a higher vantage point, there are mountain bikes to borrow.
  • Another feasible daytrip from Herradura Bay is Manuel Antonio National Park, a place of stunning beaches, excellent hiking trails and abundant wildlife experiences.

The Los Sueños Marriott resort was recently awarded the IAGTO Sustainability Award for planting Tonka Bean trees extensively around the grounds of the hotel and golf course These trees are the food source and nesting environment of scarlet macaws.
Community

The Tonka Bean tree initiative has been run in conjunction with local schools, which means that children from the community have nurtured the seedlings and been involved in planting. The children have learnt about the ecology of the macaw and associated bird species.

The Marriott chain insists on the highest standards of environmental management in all its properties. They are constantly seeking ways to reduce and minimise their impact through monitoring and initiatives from their own dedicated Engineering Business Leadership Councils. For example, they have reduced per capita water use by more than 6% in the last ten years.
