How to Book a Stay
Reservations for Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, are now open for stays starting on December 15. Travelers have options for booking with either cash or loyalty points.
Cash rates for entry-level rooms begin at approximately $863 per night, though prices will vary based on seasonality and demand. For members of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, award nights can be booked starting from around 142,000 points per night. It is important to note that Marriott uses a dynamic pricing system, so the number of points required can fluctuate daily.

The opening of Siari follows that of Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve on Costa Rica's Peninsula Papagayo, and joins Zadun in San Jose del Cabo, signaling Marriott's continued investment in the luxury travel sector in Latin America.
