The story
Los Sueños Marriott sits inside Los Sueños, a 1,100-acre gated resort community with its own marina, golf course, and enough on-site amenity that many guests genuinely never leave the property. La Iguana Golf Course, the resort's 18-hole par-72 championship course, has been named the best in Costa Rica by World Golf Awards — a real, independently verified distinction rather than marketing language. A rainforest-inspired spa, tennis and volleyball courts, a fitness center, and a large events space round out the grounds, all set among tropical gardens filled with butterflies and hummingbirds.
The pool — a lazy-river-style design winding through the property — is repeatedly singled out by guests as the single best feature of the resort, complemented by a kids' club for families and an adults-only Swim Up pool room category for couples wanting quiet. Dining spans a colonial-style restaurant serving Costa Rican and international cuisine, a Mediterranean seafood spot by Herradura Bay, and four bars including a taco-and-cocktail option. Staff are named extensively and repeatedly across years of reviews — Cindy, Wendy, Jorge, Samuel, Henry, David, Jeibi and Victor all appear independently in guest accounts, a genuine sign of consistent, personal service at genuine resort scale.
