    ...Also, the room in which the sofa and rollaway were located had zero lighting, so it was quite dark all the time... They had karaoke a couple of nights at the bar, and we stumbled upon a band that performed outside Mitra one evening but other than that not much is going on... dancers/ singers / performers after dinner in the evening ( there is a open area across from the bar that looks like just wasted space, and could be for a more useful purpose such as nightly performances, or music, or something to entertain guests) ...

    Our family stayed in two Premium Jr. Suite adjoining rooms in Bungalow 29 for 4 nights/3 days... I recommend the upgrade to premium suites as this is a very large property and while there are golf carts to take you around, it's worth the extra money to be in proximity of everything...

The only reason I gave this resort a 4 instead of a 5 is because of our room...

    ...We paid for a Westin Club room - quite as expensive as many luxury properties that we have previously stayed at. When we arrived, and without telling us, they put us in a lower category room... So we paid for the expensive room, and they put us in the cheaper room (and said nothing)... This seemed off, so we checked online and found out that we should have been in a different room category... After much waiting and many explanations, we decided to just stay in the room... They said they would compensate us the difference, but then changed their minds and gave us a “room credit” instead, and less than the value of what we paid... We just wanted what we paid for or money back if we stay in the cheaper room... This whole stay, we have not had enough towels in the room (one towel for two guests) or they take away all the hand towels and don’t replace them... The room is adequate, but nothing fancy...

    ...We requested adjoining rooms for us, and our kids and he was quickly able to accommodate our request... The rooms we had were in bungalow 20, which is the furthest building from the beach and dinning, and although I was a little worried about this, it was great... The rooms are big enough for two people and probably small kids, but if you have teenagers, I recommend booking two rooms, this was our first time doing this and it was the best decision... The rooms were cleaned and nice, we barely spent anytime in the rooms, but they were well kept and very clean...

    ...Our arrival was welcoming and we were upgraded to the Westin club adult section (highly recommend for those without children)... We arrived early straight from the airport (7:30am) after an overnight flight and I did let the hotel know beforehand in the hope a room could be ready sooner than 3pm... We hung out by the adult pool all day, our room was not ready until 4pm!... Most hotels in my experience normally make an effort to get you a room sooner...

However, this resort claims to be an all inclusive resort, but every night there was at least one restaurant was closed, usually for a large group or corporate event... Those of us paying for a relaxing vacation are having our experience spoiled by the rowdy, over served corporate groups...

Just horrible customer service for a place that is as expensive as the Maldives... All of this would be less irritating if we didn’t spend so much money for subpar services... The room is adequate, but nothing fancy... The “exclusive” Westin Club is not worth it - anyone can access the pool, and the only plus is the breakfast at the restaurant...

The golf course was FANTASTIC, but greens fees are NOT included in your all inclusive so with club rental, it’s about $500 for two 18 hole rounds... Probably won’t visit this resort again; may try JW or W next time to avoid all inclusive...

    ...Rib eye steak were these thin pieces of over cooked meat... For supposedly the best all inclusive in Costa Rica (so we were told) it was definitely not even close to what we have experienced in Mexico... Don’t expect a beach view unless you go Royal treatment (along with the cost) and be prepared to be harassed for a massage every time you step out onto the public beach... Definitely a pass on this resort if ever doing another all inclusive in Costa Rica... Overpriced for the quality of meals, quality of accommodation and overall ambience of the place...

    ...Drinks were served in a cheap disposable 6 ounce cup... Not made with fresh local fruit... Food was ok, but not 5 or 4 star quality... Thankfully, we had not checked into our room and decided to stay elsewhere... Most disappointing was this is a Westin, but seemed like a cheap copy... They graciously refunded our money, so muchas gracias...

    ...Westin also mistakenly excluded our son on the reservation, and wanted to charge an extra $700 USD for him on arrival which we did not expect, even though they acknowledged it was their error... It was...average...poor value for money compared with other all-inclusives that we have stayed at (eg Sandals, Club Med)... After enjoying an excellent 5 days at another hotel near Arenal the Westin all inclusive seemed like a bloated, overpriced disappointment... We enjoyed our excursions and enjoyed Costa Rica, but would not return to the Westin again...

    ...People should be worried about the club situation though because we weren’t the only ones to deal with this while we were there and it was absolutely ridiculous... When I called the resort, they said that they could only put four people in a room, but that we could add an adjoining room for the extra child, we agreed and paid an extra $9k for another joining room because it's the only way we could get the club room... This was absolutely unacceptable so my wife went and talked to somebody and was basically told they were going to do us a favor by giving me a blue bracelet... which is absolutely absurd because we paid for the proper room... There should have at least been two bracelets for the two adults in the one room... I felt like this was absolutely ridiculous that they only gave ONE bracelet to a family of 5... Why on earth would only one person in our group get the club amenity bracelet when there would be at least four people who should’ve had blue bracelets?... It was a total waste of money that we had to spend so much money for a room that we didn't even need and then to hear that we couldn't even use the amenities we paid for without raising a ruckus just seemed like such a joke... I would not stay in the club level if you're expecting the amenities...

    ...The front desk agents were either completely incompetent or purposefully attempting to overcharge us. After a lengthy argument, I ultimately checked out with a significant credit balance on both of our rooms that we were not refunded or ultimately permitted to use at the resort... To make matters worse, the Resort made an unauthorized additional charge to my credit card on file with Marriott 5 days after we checked out... I’m not exactly sure to what the charge relates, maybe a Resort purchase that hadn’t posted?, but our unused credit balances were far in excess of this charge... Now I have to challenge the charge with AMEX as the Resort will not reverse it... Not what you would expect from a 5 star resort charging over $1000 per night...

    The service was excellent, beautiful and clean... Highly recommend Club access room... People would get up and put towels out very early and held chairs all day while they went to play golf or half day excursions... Be sure to make reservations before arriving at least for the 1st and 2nd night... Our concierge had reservations made before we arrived even though we didn't know it... Concierge Tower 1 Pablo during the day our first week and rotated to club pool the next week... Professional, kind and always checking to see if we needed anything... Jairo Vargas - evening concierge first week and day second week... Allan Arrieta - smiles all the time, happy and helpful... Xenia Ortiz - Housekeeper for both weeks... She didn't speak English but we were able to communicate how much we appreciated her...

    ...It was our first visit to CR and we will definitely be back after this experience. From landing at Liberia and being picked up after an easy pass through Customs, we had a fantastic time at the Westin... The service was typically outstanding, we had a couple of times of waiting for beverages but never more than a few minutes and the food was always very prompt... We booked a private dinner at the Gazebo on the lagoon for our anniversary and it was well worth the extra fees... To start, Luis with the banquet staff could not have been better!... He had all the cheesy stuff my wife appreciated, lights and perfect romantic music cued up, candles and flowers sprinkled all around, and champagne chilling in the ice bucket... Luis was the perfect host, it is difficult to be available for all requests while still granting us privacy and he blended the two perfectly... When it came time to book tours my wife really wanted to arrange everything before we arrived to ensure our choices would be available... She booked Rio Celeste through the hotel and Swiss Tours and it was a fantastic trip... I had seen several reviews mention Erick G in the blue shirt down at the beach and always like to find locals to help with bookings and excursions... I sent him a text before we arrived and he responded immediately... We ended up having a phone call before we even got to CR and had verbal commitments for a couple of tours... As soon as we got there we met up with him and he is so organized, so knowledgeable of everything CR, and very helpful deciding what tours best fit our needs... Do not hesitate to use him, he sends texts the night before each trip with tips on what to bring and who to look for and where to meet them... Lastly, the housekeeping staff was perfect... We ordered room service a few times and they were prompt and efficient and returned to clear dishes without being asked each time... The room was spotless, the mini bar restocked and adapted to our needs quickly and the grounds are beautifully maintained...

    ...This is our honeymoon and booked 2 weeks here it was through Tui. On arrival we were greeted very warmly and given a map of the resort which is very helpful... There are golf cart style vehicles to take you to where you want to go but we walked most of the time... You can also dial 0 in your room for free room service... Our stay was the standard all inclusive and didn’t pay extra for the adult only pool... I recommend the Pina Colada’s We went to Erik Garcia (blue shirt guy) on the entrance to the beach... We initially booked two trips and they were so good we booked 2 more... Highly recommend him, he will look after you and great prices... We booked a Tui package holiday it’s very normal to have a greeting meeting with aTui rep where they tell you about the area, tips, advice and excursions etc... The hotel staff will help in anyway they can and the local people are lovely and we learnt so much...

    Truly good experience: a bit crowded but we knew it would be in December, but still easy check in, comfy room by this I mean the bed as I am a difficult sleeper... Obviously we reserve the room much in advance and also makes PERFECT SENSE to reserve your activities and tours in advance as those companies also get booked up... This guy is the real deal when it comes to genuine care and professionalism... We booked a private boat with snorkel and a trip to Miravalles volcano to see and bathe in the best hot springs natural mineral thermal water... Westin we loved you Costa Rica we will agin be back and Andrei and Conchalfun team are friends for life...

Mitre Market was always a good option for the breakfast and lunch buffet... I was in touch with the concierge the week leading up to our trip, and even then it was hard to nail anything down... Once you arrive, they'll provide a phone number to make reservations... If you are looking to book excursions, make sure to find Erik Garcia on the beach... Erik was extremely helpful, and provided lots of recommendations... He will help you find the right trips or activities based on your interests and price point... Not only did he help book the excursions, but he kept in touch with us via text throughout the week to provide reminders about times, meetings, things to bring, etc...

    ...We made our reservations well in advance and requested a club room so we could take advantage of the club amenities... When I called the resort, they said that they could only put four people in a room, but that we could add an adjoining room for the extra child, we agreed and paid an extra $9k for another joining room because it's the only way we could get the club room... We were told that we would still have all of the club amenities because the twins were technically "free"... When we checked in, they gave my wife a blue bracelet and me and my 8-year-old a green bracelet... The girl at the pool called the manager, who told her the same thing... There should have at least been two bracelets for the two adults in the one room...

    ...The hotel was also not at full capacity because of renovations, which may contribute to this The Italian restaurant was great Good breakfast Cons: Check-in was a mess, room wasn't ready at check-in time... I tried contacting the hotel before arriving for dinner reservations and was ignored... Calling once arrived they seemed very confused... Was booked one night at the restaurant I didn't request, etc... There are only 2 bars (Pool bar and Imperial bar, which opens at 5 pm) The beach was just okay The staff at the restaurants were great and super friendly, but some of the service was questionable... Little info provided at check-in, when we asked how to find hiking trails no one could answer, and when I asked the concierge to assist with booking transportation to our next location they seemed baffled by the request and eventually just hung up on me without ever following up again...

He is a local entrepreneur who you will find daily at the entrance to the beach, who is reliable and has arrangements with many of the tour operators... On the beach you can get massages from the locals, ride horses, rent jet skis, etc... The spa had a great atmosphere, and the therapists were good...

We stayed in the royal beach club, the concierge, restaurant manager and waiters/waitress remembered our name, treated us as friends which made us felt really special... The restaurant booking experience could be improved a lot, it took long time for the restaurant to pick the phone and the let you know it was full...

    This resort is probably the best we have been to and a place I would go back to in a heartbeat! The service was amazing and the food was just as good as it can get... We requested our minibar to be stocked with baby juices and milk to have those handy at all times and that was really convenient... There is a store on the resort as well in case you run out of some of the necessities like diapers or sunscreen (a bit on the pricier side, but still convenient if something is needed)... A great variety of fresh fruit and juices was available either in the dining room or could be requested to be delivered to the room at any time... We were a little bit skeptical about booking an excursion in our situation, but Eric Garcia on the beach worked wonders... The moment he saw us, he knew what we needed to do and put together a customized all day tour perfect for our toddler and my pregnant self...

I addition, there are free activities like kayaks and bicycles and other ones that you choose to pay for... Finally , The beach is public with vendors and souvenirs ... I found local sellers who offer amazing massages and tours very friendly... We did a waterfall/hot springs excursion, fishing excursion, catamaran sunset tour, along with horses on the beach... We will definitely comeback to the Westin and experience the sense of Pura Vida...

We were told that we would still have all of the club amenities because the twins were technically "free"... The girl at the pool called the manager, who told her the same thing... This was absolutely unacceptable so my wife went and talked to somebody and was basically told they were going to do us a favor by giving me a blue bracelet... which is absolutely absurd because we paid for the proper room... There should have at least been two bracelets for the two adults in the one room... Why on earth would only one person in our group get the club amenity bracelet when there would be at least four people who should’ve had blue bracelets?... It was a total waste of money that we had to spend so much money for a room that we didn't even need and then to hear that we couldn't even use the amenities we paid for without raising a ruckus just seemed like such a joke... I would not stay in the club level if you're expecting the amenities...

    The Westin Reserva Conchal All-Inclusive Resort is a great choice if you have never been to Costa Rica. Located about an hour from the Liberia airport, it's a large property that is beautifully landscaped with the bungalows/villas dispersed throughout... It has a great beach, a very nice pool, and lots of activities... The staff are friendly and the food in the six restaurants is diverse, and good for an all-inclusive... The Marketplace doesn't require reservations and has 4 stations with different types of food; breakfast there in the morning was great... We did 2 tours-Rincon Ntl Park, where we hiked the volcano, swam in the waterfalls, did the hot springs and had lunch in a restaurant nearby; and we also did a sailboat excursion out of Flamingo Beach... On the beach you can get massages from the locals, ride horses, rent jet skis, etc... There are local vendors on the beach, but they aren't pushy... The resort has carts that make the rounds, but we usually walked to make up for the great food and drink we indulged... Not a golfer, but the course looked nice... The spa had a great atmosphere, and the therapists were good...

    ...The facilities were clean and everything was amazing. The people on the beach were all friendly and we ran into Eric in a blue shirt on the beach who gave us a great deal on a sunset horseback ride...

    ...My wife and I spent 5 nights at the Royal Beach Club, and we could not have asked for a better time. The facilities were spectacular, and the service was top notch from the moment we arrived till our departure... Most notably Ariel who serviced us at the pool was attentive, informative and very professional, He worked well as a team with Luis and Byron at the swim up pool making our stay a great experience... Our concierges Pablo and Bryan were always there to support us... I would also give a high five to Rachel and all of the staff at Fasanelli offering great breakfast and an awesome Mexican night... We as so looking to return, and this is the best All-inclusive I have been too so disregarding any other nay Sayers... Thanks again RBC club and Westin staff in total...

Miami, Florida1 contribution
Westin Reserva Conchal best of the best Westin we ever visited (we been to aboit 7 Westins so far) the beach here playa de Conchas is incredible unique bay with beautiful crystal clear water. The Costa Ricans are such amazing happy people we felt welcome and safe. Best part of this trip was our excursions with local company Conchalfun. Andrei the owner goes above and beyond to make sure you choose the perfect tours and takes time to answer questions at any time of day or night. We did the rio celeste combo with Carlos and was the most fun dsy ever. So haoppy we booked in Advance so no time wasted on the beach. We we harassed abit by a vendor but once he understood we prebooked he frowned and left us alone. We alos did the jet ski guided tour and the coast line is stunning! Happy place great vacation pura vida

My family stayed at the Westin for a week and found the services excellent, people friendly and rooms clean . The restaurants had good food and attentive service. The shuttle service to and from your room to the restaurants or activities was great. Room service was very prompt and cleaning service was excellent. My only gripe would be the pillows were poor quality. The adult only towers are the only rooms that have the typical Westin bedding. There are free activities, my kids enjoyed the boogie boards. There are local venders who offer massages, jewelry and handmade goods, and tours. They are very friendly. We used Erik G in the blue shirt for excursions and transportation to and from the airport (his shirt and hat says Erik making it really easy to find him). The excursions were amazing! We went horse back riding, on a waterfall hike to La Leona waterfalls, zip lining at El Roble, ATV riding, and on a crocodile river cruise with lunch at Ocho in Tamarindo. All of our tours were private and incredible! Was so worth it!! He is the best!! We will definitely comeback to Westin! We love Costa Rica-Pura Vida!!!

If you are looking for an all inclusive that has it all look no further. The Westin Conchal is a vacation paradise with it's immaculate property and most pristine location. We loved every aspect of our stay and would for sure return. The staff here are just so nice and always want to smile and make you feel comfortable. Wall gained weight as we just loved the food and kept eating all day. Thank God we took breaks as we did some amazing day trips and tours with CONCHALFUN a local company we found to be most impressive with it's customer service. We loved the fact that Andrei took his time to answer all questions and help choose the right tours for our family. We especially loved the pre booking process as we were able to visualize our week and choose what was perfect for our schedule and preference. We did a all day trip to Arenal volcano as we wanted to see the real rain forest and the biggest hot springs in Costa Rica. The long trip was worth it especially as Rodrigo our guide was so fun to talk with. We also did a private sail boat as we absolutely had to get on the ocean. It was spectacular let me tell you! We saw dolphins and tutles and even stopped for snorkel. We then did a all day combo with zip lines and waterfalls it was just what we needed as the kids love adrenaline. We will return for sure next year and use Conchalfun and Andrei for our transfers and tours.

My family and I all enjoyed ourselves at this resort. We really liked the design of the room though one of the rooms had a leak in the ceiling. We loved all the nature and wildlife on the property. It's a big property and isn't very well lit at night which was difficult sometimes. The pool and selection of restaurants was a highlight. Overall we found the food to be very good. However we did have an unfortunate incident where one of us was served something we told staff he was allergic to. I do think the resort needs more live entertainment. We did not notice many events on the itinerary during our four night stay. The beach itself is beautiful but it was disappointing that you cant get drinks and food (that are included in your all inclusive stay) on the beach. Instead there were people not affiliated with the hotel trying to sell you things. We booked two excursions through the tour company at the hotel and really enjoyed both.

We just returned from our amazing costa Rican vacation at the Westin and cannot stop talking about it everywhere we go. in our family it is unanimous: we are going back to Costa Rica as 1 week was not enough. This all inclusive far exceeded our expectations but honestly next time we will stay at b n bs to move around and explore more. The taste for adventure came from our tours with CONCHALFUN. We prebooked our adventurwees and are so glad we did as it gets busy and will get even busier we heard. Rio celeste was the best day trip ever with our guide Gabriel the most genuine and friendly knowledgeable person ever. We say so much wild life and that blue waterfall looks almost fake its so blue. We also did the jet ski tour and ATV tour to combine both land and water adrenaline. Finally we did the Tamarindo mangrove tour as we also wanted to have free time in town and Andrei took us himself. Do not waste time on the spot trying to figure out what you want to do as like I mentioned 1 week is so little time you want to just enjoy from the moment you arrive.

We loved this hotel and and great overall service. This is a truly special property as it is set in front of the best beach in the country so we heard. Absolutely great delicious food all day everyday and friendly staff happy to welcome you to their country. A Note on that beach guy Garcia he did not stop pestering us until exhaustion. We did not come on vacation to constantly be bothered each and EVERY time we passed by him. Truly unprofessional. We booked all our tours in advance and this is what bothered him. Do yourself a favor google CONCHALFUN and get in touch with amazing customer service who will help you plan your activities in advance so you just come to RELAX.

This all-inclusive resort stands out as one of the best and most stunning places I've visited in a long while. If you're seeking a genuine connection with nature, this resort delivers precisely that. Surrounded by lush foliage and wildlife, it offered the perfect sanctuary for unwinding and disconnecting for a few days. Costa Rica's heat took me by surprise on my first trip to the country. Coming from the East Coast of the USA, we anticipated warmth, but the humidity was on a whole different level. Packing extra clothes is a must as everything gets sweaty and damp swiftly. Rain was part of the experience, occurring for a couple of hours on two out of the seven days we were at the resort. When it rained, it poured, though it didn't last long enough to spoil the overall experience. The proximity of the beach to the resort was convenient, with staff readily providing beach chairs. Politely declining vendors selling knick-knacks ensured they didn't disturb our beach time. However, bringing your own drinks to enjoy by the beautiful, clear waters was necessary. Fish were only spotted near the rocks on the far right. While some label this as a family-oriented resort, I found it equally enjoyable for groups of friends or adults. The drinks were surprisingly strong and delicious, alleviating the need for the duty-free tequila I had brought. The staff, understanding the guests' desire to unwind, were friendly and accommodating, even offering cold towels and water upon our arrival—a thoughtful touch after a long journey. During our stay, two main drawbacks stood out. The resort closed quite early, especially the Imperial Bar, which shut down at 11 PM. This somewhat dampened the evening vibes, leaving us wishing for more activities on-site. Additionally, the rooms tended to get hot unless positioned directly under a fan or the AC unit. The pillows weren't the most comfortable either, though exhaustion often made falling asleep easier despite the discomfort. TV channel availability was limited, but connecting Netflix compensated for the lack of entertainment options inside. The room service may have taken a little bit to get to us, and the shuttles may not come at the most convenient times even when ordering them early, or ahead of time, but they were reliable when we were hungry or wanted to go to the lobby to leave and explore the country. Exploring beyond the resort was effortless, thanks to their taxi service, available until 1 AM. Venturing out to Tamarindo or Playa Flamingo was highly recommended, with Coco Loco standing out as a fantastic spot for a sunset visit. The vibrant atmosphere and incredible food made it a memorable dinner experience. As for dining at the resort, it was a mixed bag. The steakhouse, particularly the ribeye, was a standout, but the short rib fell short due to its excessive fat content. Although appetizer portions seemed smaller compared to what we're accustomed to in the States, being all-inclusive allowed us to order multiples, making it worthwhile. Overall, I'd rate this place an impressive 8/10. I'm eager to return, hopefully with a larger group of friends. It surpassed my expectations and proved to be worth every penny. Capture plenty of memories with photos and savor every moment. Pura Vida!

We had a great family trip to the Westin Reserva Conchal! This was our first time in Costa Rica, and the hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the food was very good for being all-inclusive. The rooms were also clean and comfortable, house keeping was excellent, and the beach access was great. One surprise bonus on the beach was a guy named Erik G with the blue shirt. We had a group of 9 people, including 2 in their mid-70s, and I was a little confused at first about what excursions to book for us before we arrived. On my first day, I met Erik and talked with him, told him about our group and certain physical limitations, and he organized two excellent excursions for us that were perfect for our group. The first was a river tour through Palo Verde, and the second was a tour of coffee farm, sloths, lunch overlooking volcanos, and zip line adventure near Rio Celeste. Our tour guide for both days was Jiberto and we really enjoyed talking to him - he entertained the whole time and went out of his way to get photos and show us native wildlife. Erik also connected me to a fishing boat captain where we caught 10 dorado (mahi mahi) on a 3/4 day trip, and then the hotel cooked the fish for us that same night! Overall it was a great family trip and we will definitely return to the Westin Reserva Conchal!

I'd give it 3.5 stars for this hotel. The rooms are clean and a great size for 3 people. The beds are NOT Westin brand, and ours were very lumpy as were the pillows, with cheap, scratchy sheets. We had to track someone down every single day for towels, they would take them out and not replace them, or take them and give only one. The food was not good. The music each night was very nice and we enjoyed sitting out listening and hanging. The pool was a perfect temperature and the ocean was great. The annoying thing is the minute you walk near the beach the people non stop asking if you want a massage on the beach is pretty intense..in your face intense, hanging over the wall of the hotel and doing this. The staff was all nice (except the man making the omelets, but it was hot over there, so I'd be grumpy too) Go early for breakfast or it's a super long line and wait, which would be shorter if it was a buffet vs being tended by staff. It was easy getting spots by the pool, as we were up early each day. We decided if we go back to CR, we would not go back to this hotel, but I do see that it's perfect for families with small kids. Our family of 5 are older kids.
