Why you should stay: Just because this 5-star resort has direct access to a beautiful beach doesn’t stop it from having a truly enormous lagoon-style pool — said to be the largest infinity pool in Central America. Two reasons why the JW Marriott Guanacaste (the only resort from an international brand in the region) has won over 95% of Travelzoo guests who’ve stayed there. 

What’s the big deal? With this offer, Travelzoo members can stay for three nights and receive free breakfast and a daily $100 food-and-beverage credit, saving $500 or more.
