Courtyard by Marriott La Paz sits on the coastal road toward Pichilingue, at about kilometre 7.5, on the water beside an 18-hole golf course. It is one of the larger hotels in the city, with around 150 air-conditioned rooms spread over several room types, most of them Deluxe or Premium rooms with a king or two queen beds and views toward the golf course or the marina. Rooms are modern and practical, with a flat-screen television, a refrigerator and free Wi-Fi, and the property has an outdoor pool, a gym that stays open around the clock, a bar and lounge, a coffee shop and an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests rate it very highly, around 9.2 out of 10 from more than a thousand reviews, which is an unusually strong score for a hotel of this size and a good sign that the service is consistent. It is the most business-like of the resort-style options in town, and a comfortable pick for families and for travellers who value predictability.
Location and getting around
The hotel is outside the historic center, a few minutes by car from the Malecón and close to El Coromuel and El Caimancito beaches and the convention center. The drive to the airport is a little over half an hour. Because the walkable seafront is not at the door, the hotel suits visitors who are comfortable with taxis, hotel-arranged transfers or a rental car, and the property itself recommends having a car.
Free self-parking on site makes that easy, and many boat and snorkel operators can arrange pickups from hotels on this road.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are air-conditioned and offer a comfortable bed, a work desk, a television and a refrigerator, and some have marina or golf views. There is an elevator, laundry service and room service, including late-night orders. The outdoor pool is open through the evening, and the fitness room is available around the clock. Breakfast is served in the restaurant as a buffet that is charged separately rather than included in every rate, and meal hours differ slightly between weekdays and weekends.
Check-in starts at 3 pm and check-out is by noon. The minimum check-in age is 18, and pets are accepted for a fee, so confirm the current policy if you travel with an animal.
Who it suits and good to know: families, golfers, business travellers and anyone who prefers a larger hotel with reliable facilities to a small boutique. It also works well for combining boat days and beach time, since mornings can start with an easy transfer to a marina or pier and afternoons can be spent by the pool. Children can usually stay free in existing beds, though cribs and rollaway beds may not be available, so ask before you arrive.
Rates change by date and rise in the busy winter weeks, and cancellation terms differ by rate, so compare a few options and read the conditions. If your priority is walking to dinner and the sunset promenade every night, a Malecón hotel is a better match, but for space, parking and a pool, this is a strong choice.
