Los Sueños Marriott
Ocean & Golf Resort
Location
Accomodation
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.
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
- 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.
