Steakhouse (Guanacastecan style)

Steakhouse drawing on Guanacaste's cattle-ranching heritage — the region is Costa Rica's agricultural heartland. Local beef preparations with regional context make this more distinctive than a generic steakhouse.

Signature dishes: Kobe flatiron steak, New Zealand lamb chops, Costa Rican filets, Costa Rican gallo pinto

Asian-Fusion (Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Peruvian)

Asian fusion à la carte with emphasis on Southeast Asian spice profiles. One of the more distinctive flavor concepts on a property that could otherwise default to safe international formats.

Signature dishes: Red Snapper & Tuna Ceviche, Grilled octopus, Passion Fruit Glazed Sea Bass, Signature Tamarine Pad Thai

Seafood, Italian, Mediterranean

Transitions to a dinner venue in the evening with a refined grill menu. The dual-use format (poolside casual by day, grill restaurant by night) makes it one of the more versatile venues on property.

Signature dishes: Variety of tasteful ceviches, Grilled Mahi Mahi, Lobster dishes, Sea Bass and Goldenberry, Snookfish with Yellow Chili Sauce, Caribbean seafood casserole

International & Costa Rican Regional, American

International fusion buffet for breakfast and broader meal periods. The primary high-volume dining option alongside Cocina de Mercado.

Signature dishes: Chicharron Pinilla, Costa Rican Cocoa Beef Tenderloin, Coriander & Poppy Seeds Crusted Pan Seared Red Tuna, Pomegranate Liquor Sabayon & Soursop Cannoli, Hand-crafted Goat Cheese Cake

Italian

Classic Italian à la carte. Pasta, wood-fired preparations, and predictable Italian favorites — a reliable dinner option for guests who want something familiar.

International

Market-style international dining. More varied format than a standard buffet — expect rotating offerings based on seasonal availability.

Multiple cuisines

Multi-cuisine à la carte. The concept is less defined than the steakhouse or Asian fusion venues — suited to evenings when you want variety rather than a focused cuisine.

International

Beachfront dining with international menu. The location is the primary draw — eating on Playa El Jobo makes this a natural lunch anchor.

Lighter fare, Mediterranean

Casual poolside service during daylight hours — lighter preparations for guests who don't want to leave the pool zone for a full sit-down meal.

Signature dishes: Variety of tasteful ceviches

International and Costa Rican

Morning breakfast service at the Pimento venue. The Italian restaurant context shifts to a broader breakfast format — eggs, local fruit, and regional preparations.

Grill fare

Brasserie-style poolside dining. Casual structure without requiring a reservation — good for guests who want something in between snacks and a full à la carte meal.

Alcoholic drinks & global cuisine quick bites

The central cocktail hub for pre-dinner drinks and evening socializing. Full spirits menu in an architectural lobby setting typical of JW properties.

Signature dishes: Variety of caipirinhas

Coffee House fare

Coffee house format for all-day beverages and light snacks. One of the few all-inclusive coffee programs positioned as a destination rather than a utility stop.

Signature dishes: Denser and silkier ice cream

American

Poolside bar with American-style food and beverages. The WET Deck is a Marriott signature amenity across multiple properties — familiar format for Marriott regulars.

A la carte

In-room dining within the all-inclusive package. Extended menu expected for a JW property — confirm scope at check-in.
