Marriott International has signed an agreement with Enjoy Group to launch two additional Autograph Collection hotels in Costa Rica. Anticipated to open in the last quarter of 2025, Villa Lapas, Autograph Collection and Marina Bahía Golfito, Autograph Collection are expected to join two existing Autograph Collection branded properties in Costa Rica managed by Enjoy Group—El Mangroove, Autograph Collection and Punta Islita, Autograph Collection.
“We are delighted to announce this new project with Enjoy Group, a renowned hospitality development and management company, and a long-standing partner of Marriott International in the region that has a proven record of developing exceptional products and destinations,” Laurent de Kousemaeker, chief development officer for Marriott International in the Caribbean and Latin America, said in a statement. “This agreement doubles down on Marriott’s commitment to building on the great success of Costa Rica as a travel destination and showcases the great appeal of the fast-growing Autograph Collection brand to our customers, owners and developers."
Villa Lapas, Autograph Collection is slated to rebrand in the last quarter of 2025 with 86 locally inspired guestrooms in the Central Pacific region. The property will have multiple meeting spaces, a reimagined restaurant and bar, a new fitness center experience, an outdoor pool and outdoor playgrounds.
Expected to debut in the Marina Bahia Golfito yacht bay during the last quarter of 2025, the new-build Marina Bahía Golfito, Autograph Collection, is slated to have 35 hotel rooms and 72 branded residences. Amenities will include meeting spaces, a restaurant, spa, fitness center and an outdoor pool. The Golfito region has five national eco-parks, botanical gardens and animal reserves.
In recent years, the Autograph Collection brand has helped drive Marriott International’s conversion strategy in the Caribbean and Latin America region, with nearly 40 open hotels and a pipeline of 13 properties under development.
