Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort

Golfers, sportfishers, and families looking for American-style services favor this sprawling, Spanish colonial–style resort perched midway between the ocean and the rainforest. Los Suenos Marriott has created a fantasy pool system of canals, bridges, islands, and swim-up bars, surrounded by lavish gardens, plentiful chaises, and attentive waiter service. Besides the 201 large guest rooms and suites, and widely varied activities and amenities, the resort’s full-service marina and its Ted Robinson–designed, championship golf course are the biggest draws for guests. Guides are available for canopy tours and nature walks in nearby national parks.
