Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort
The flagship resort of the Los Sueños complex on Playa Herradura, this Marriott offers world-class sport fishing access, a championship golf course, multiple pools, and full resort amenities on a tranquil bay north of Jacó.
Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort sits on the shores of Playa Herradura, a wide and sheltered Pacific bay approximately 10 km north of Jacó in Puntarenas province, Costa Rica. The resort forms the centerpiece of the Los Sueños master-planned community, a 1,100-acre development that includes one of Costa Rica's premier sport fishing marinas and a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Ted Robinson Sr.
The hotel comprises 201 guest rooms and suites distributed across Spanish colonial-style structures overlooking Playa Herradura and the Pacific Ocean. Rooms offer standard Marriott amenities with ocean or garden views, private balconies, and suite categories providing expanded living spaces and premium finishes. The resort's scale and full-service facilities make it the largest hotel on the central Pacific coast between San José and the Manuel Antonio corridor.
Five swimming pools are distributed across the resort, and the beach club provides direct access to Playa Herradura, a sheltered bay widely considered safer for swimming than the more exposed Jacó beach to the south. The Ted Robinson-designed golf course winds through protected tropical forest adjacent to the resort. The Los Sueños Marina accommodates one of Costa Rica's premier sport fishing fleets, with charter boats targeting Pacific sailfish, marlin, dorado, and tuna year-round.
Dining options span multiple restaurants and bars, ranging from casual poolside fare to the signature La Hacienda restaurant serving Costa Rican and Latin American cuisine. The Vivo Spa offers a full treatment menu, and a casino and fitness center complete the main resort amenities. The Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program applies fully, with points earned and redeemed at standard rates for Category 6 Marriott properties.
The resort is particularly popular with sport fishing enthusiasts, golfers, and families seeking a large-resort experience with extensive on-site facilities. The Herradura location is convenient for day trips to Carara National Park (20 minutes), Jacó town (15 minutes), and Manuel Antonio National Park (90 minutes).

Tips
- Sport fishing charters through Los Sueños Marina should be reserved several weeks in advance during the December–April dry season for the best fleet and targeted species availability.
- Golf tee times at the championship Ted Robinson course fill quickly during dry season — reserve in advance via the resort or directly through Los Sueños Golf operations.
- Playa Herradura is one of the calmest beaches on the central Pacific coast; the sheltered bay is notably safer for swimming with children than the more exposed surf beach at Jacó.
- Marriott Bonvoy members should link their stay at booking to earn points on accommodation, dining, and spa spending at the full Category 6 rate.
- Car rental pickup is available through the resort, making it a practical base for day trips to Carara National Park, Monteverde (3 hours), and Manuel Antonio.
