“New, clean high quality hotel”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

Hotel is fairly new (< 1 year old) and is in good condition. Great beach views from room. Large modern rooms with new fixtures and fittings. Friendly staff, quiet and very comfortable. Awesome breakfast (something for everyone) but service throughout hotel is very laid back (slow). If you are used to ordering a coffee or a drink and getting it... More

“EXCELLENT CONCIERGE SERVICE !!!”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

Although this was just a one night stop over (broken ankle made for a change in plans) this Westin met all the usual Westin standards---comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, good views, etc. What was EXCELLENT was concierge Ruth Aguirra's tireless efforts and thinking "outside the box" that got this Hawaiian resident back home---without 3 LONG layovers!!!! Traveling alone in a cast... More

“Good, but food quality can improve”

Hotel was pretty and clean; was there on a company's incentive trip. Staff were generally friendly, but did not take the initiative to replace stuff in room, etc. For Example, they will only replace 1 toothbrush in the morning, and leave the other used on the sink, etc. And it was a double sharing room. Seaview wasn't as nice in... More

Stayed with my wife and child recently at the Westin and had a pleasant experience. The property is lovely, of excellent quality and in a secluded beach (Playa Bonita which it shares with the Intercontinental hotel). While some people might not like the beach, I found it perfect for relaxing and enjoying the local birds, which frequent the cove and... More

We recently returned from a fabulous holiday at the Westin. I must say I was apprehensive to return to this property after experiencing many openning issues in Dec/11. However the staff and management have truly showed they are dedicated and hardworking. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with smiling faces and many "welcome back". I found it so... More

“Good choice if you want to be near the city, but not in it”

We stayed here about a week around Easter. Cost was about $200/night with breakfast. Our "upgrade" upon availability was not available. Good Friday to Easter, the hotel was absolutely packed with people from the city for a weekend at the beach. All restaurants were open (2 buffets, 2 sit down, and 1 snack bar that also offered a buffet, and... More
