Marriott International has opened JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort & Spa, the first all-inclusive resort under the JW Marriott brand. The company announced the opening on 6 October 2026 in Costa Elena, in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region.

The resort has 415 rooms and suites, 15 food and beverage venues, a Mindfulness House and the brand’s first next-generation Griffin Club. Marriott also describes the property as having the largest resort poolscape in Costa Rica.
