The activity program blends resort-based amenities with Guanacaste's distinctive eco-adventure offerings. Whale watching, sloth sanctuaries, and canopy tours are off-property excursions that leverage the specific biodiversity of the Papagayo region — these are draws unavailable at Caribbean all-inclusives. On-property programming includes fitness classes, beach volleyball, and kids' and teen programs, though specific details are pending opening.
As one of 17 pools, this is anticipated to be a central hub for relaxation and recreation for all guests. Individual names, specific features like infinity edges or swim-up bars, and target demographics for the pools are not yet disclosed.
Expected to be designed for families, offering a fun environment for all ages within the resort's extensive pool complex. Specific features and amenities are awaiting official release.
An exclusive pool area intended for adult guests seeking tranquility and a serene atmosphere. Specific details for this pool type are part of the 17 pools whose individual features are yet to be announced.
A dedicated pool area tailored for younger guests to enjoy safely. Specific design features, depths, and any interactive elements are not yet confirmed for this and other pools.
Several smaller, more secluded pools are expected to be distributed throughout the property, offering quiet spaces for relaxation. Exact features and locations for these individual pools are not yet public.
The resort is situated beachfront on Playa El Jobo, offering 885 feet of pristine beach frontage. While specific details regarding sand type, typical wave conditions, or on-beach services provided directly by the resort are not yet available, the nearby marine areas are noted for exciting water activities like snorkeling and diving.
Complimentary access to the spa-adjacent fitness center. Specific equipment list pending — JW properties typically feature full cardio and strength setups.
17 pools distributed across the property — one of the highest pool-to-room ratios of any Costa Rica all-inclusive. Specific pool types and locations pending opening details.
885 feet of Playa El Jobo beachfront. Pacific coast conditions differ from Caribbean — check current surf and tide patterns for the time of year you're visiting.
Supervised kids' programming planned for the property — specific club name, age ranges, and hours pending opening announcement.
Teen-specific programming expected. Details pending — confirm at booking or check-in.
Evening live music, performances, and theme nights. JW properties typically run a lighter entertainment program than mass-market all-inclusives — expect quality over volume.
Group yoga and wellness sessions aligned with JW's wellness positioning. Pacific coastal setting makes sunrise yoga an anticipated highlight.
Courts on Playa El Jobo for casual and organized play.
Indoor games available for guests. Good rainy-day fallback — Guanacaste's dry season is January through April; the wet season runs May through November.
Deep-sea fishing through local operators off the Papagayo coast. The Pacific waters off Guanacaste have reliable sailfish and marlin — a draw for fishing travelers that has no equivalent at Caribbean properties.
Lessons available through local providers near the resort. The Papagayo winds make this one of the best kitesurfing coasts in Central America during certain months.
Seasonal boat tours. Humpback whales visit the Papagayo Gulf from July through October and December through April — one of the few places in the world with two overlapping whale populations.
Guided snorkeling near El Jobo. Some excursions may be included — confirm at check-in.
Professional boat diving to explore Costa Rica's Pacific reef systems. The Bat Islands (Islas Murciélagos) and Catalina Islands are the local benchmarks for diving quality.
Specialized excursions to a protected bird sanctuary offshore. Meaningful for guests with a naturalist interest — species counts on Isla Bolaños are high relative to its size.
Guided rides through Guanacaste's dry tropical forest. The landscape during the dry season (January–April) is visually striking — open savanna and hillside trails.
Off-road exploration of local beaches and trails at additional cost.
Combined nature and activity excursion. The monkey observation element adds a wildlife encounter to what would otherwise be a standard canopy/horseback tour.
Evening boat tours with drinks included. The Pacific sunsets off Guanacaste are among the most dramatic in Central America.
Day excursions to Guanacaste's waterfalls and forested interior. The dry tropical forest ecosystem is distinct from the rainforest typical of other Costa Rica regions.
Educational tours to local wildlife rehabilitation facilities. One of Costa Rica's most visitor-friendly wildlife encounters — appropriate for all ages.
