Live the hacienda lifestyle at the W Marriott Hotel Guanacaste Resort & Spa. Ideally located close to Tamarindo town, beside Mansita beach and within easy reach of four other beaches at Hacienda Pinilla, it provides ample opportunities to go surfing, visit turtle nesting sanctuaries and observe the area’s rich biodiversity. But you don’t need to leave the confines of the resort for an active holiday; the resort has its own equestrian centre, tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course. All of the guest rooms have balconies either with garden, pool or ocean views, as well as soundproof windows, total blackout curtains, plush pillow-top mattresses and marble bathtubs.
