Lovely experience even after our stay at the neighboring W Hotel. Different experience but still top notch. This property is expansive with lots of activities and dining options. The concierge was super accommodating and extremely attentive. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Stayed at the Westin Conchal for the second time to celebrate our Anniversary. We can not say enough about the excellent service and staff who made us feel like family. Also, saw many familiar faces... Special kudos to Paco (Steven), Emanuel (front desk), Andres (Mitra/Cauri), Camaliel (La Sabana Steak House) and Urania (Costco Rep.) who all went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The food was delicious and drinks were on point. See you ALL next year... Amigos. PURA VIDA!!!

We love the Westin in Costa Rica. The resort is beautiful and clean. The food and drinks were great. We have no complaints and will be back! Very close to the entrance of the beach, look out for a man in a blue shirt. His name is Erik G, and he is very friendly and is the person to go to if you want to go on any excursions during your stay. During our stay, we booked a private sailing boat and it was fabulous!!!!! We thank Erik for helping us book the wonderful excursion!

Our family of 5 stayed here in August 2023 and will definitely be back. From the minute we walked into the resort we were greeted with super friendly staff that were helpful and genuinely concerned with making sure our family had a great vacation. We were able to easily book dinners for every night we wanted to. The food quality is very good and much better than a typical all inclusive resort. We went to the beach to snorkel and it was super easy to borrow the equipment from the desk right outside the beach entrance. If you are up early I highly recommend going down to the beach. If you walk to your left a little ways you can literally be sitting on a pristine beach all by yourself and enjoy the beautiful views and crystal clear water. A highlight for our family was being able to see the howler monkeys that live in and around the resort- they are everywhere and it’s awesome to see them in their natural habitat. The rooms are well appointed and we really liked the “village” setup all of the buildings are set up in. We ventured out for a day trip that included a cave walk and waterfall along with zip lining. We booked this through Erik G on the beach (you can not miss him - he wears a blue shirt and a hat with his name on it). Erik was very thorough in showing us options and worked with us to set up an excursion that worked for our family (3 children ranging from 18 yrs to 9 yrs). The trip exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful driver that took care of us for the day and the guide for our hike was outstanding. My wife also realized she left her sunglasses in the tour van later that evening. I contacted Erik to see if he could check with the driver. He was extremely responsive and later the next day the sunglasses were delivered to our room. I can’t recommend using Erik to help you with your tour enough. He’s awesome. This was one of our families favorite vacations and we will definitely be back to The Westin

We had a wonderful trip to Costa Rica. Westin was a beautiful resort with beautiful people. Beach is lovely, service excellent and we loved all of the wildlife on the property! What really made our trip was the many excursions we took coordinated through ConchalFun. We booked a jet skiing tour, private sail boat, day trip to Nicaragua, zip lining, ATVing, and the Rio Celeste waterfall/sloth reserve. All of these satisfied are need for adventure and gave us the opportunity to experience two beautiful countries, all arranged prior to our arrival, all seamlessly coordinated via Andre and whatsapp. My family had a blast!

This is not a 4 star hotel!! One of the worst vacations my family and I have ever been on. We had giant bugs take over our room on day 2 of our trip, and received no help or care from the staff. I’ve attached photos but mind you this is after the daily clean up. I have a young child and daily, we had to put barriers in our room to avoid the bugs. The staff was extremely unhelpful and wouldn’t allow us to switch rooms after multiple requests. Horrible! Especially with a young child. In addition the food is HORRIBLE. We ended up leaving the resort as much as we could in order to avoid eating such bad food. Multiple people that we talked to had got food poisoning and we wanted to avoid that at all costs. Think cheap buffet, microwaved food. It is the absolute worst. The service is also poor, we had to call to have our room cleaned and request towels each time. The staff just doesn’t really care. The list goes on about our poor experience but the bugs and terrible food take the cake. Westin has been contacted and provided nothing. It’s unacceptable to take a vacation and have your room infested with bugs and not even have the care to make a change. DO BETTER.

Great Resort. Great food. Nice wine selections both included and for purchase. Beautiful beach with lots of activity options. Would highly recommend for people with children or teens. I think it would be a nice option for couples as well. They do have an adults only pool and area. I had only one concern. They have an app to download to make reservations for restaurants and activities. It was very unclear and confusing when the reservations opened up. I was told different things by different people that I asked. I was diligent in opening the app and checking the reservation options two weeks in advance and because of my diligence I was able to get reservations at a different restaurant each night. Had we arrived and done as told by several people to wait till we got to the resort, we would have eaten at the same buffet restaurant during the entire trip, which would have been extremely frustrating. I also found that calling in advance of being at the resort, I never once was able to get in touch with a concierge. Once at the resort, calling from a hotel phone, I was able to reach someone.

My travel experience with my family at the Westin Playa Conchal was amazing! During our stay we experienced excellent service, exquisite food, and a beautiful beach and pool to spend hours having fun in. Housekeeping and room service were great as our rooms were kept clean as well as provided with a large variety of food and beverages that quickly got to our room after ordering. Westin staff are happy to assist and provide for anything you need during your stay. There are numerous restaurants to choose from, all of which have delicious food and great service. The pool at the resort is very clean and spacious, granting a nice balance between getting to socialize with other guests as well as having a lot of room for relaxing or playing without it feeling too overcrowded. The beach at the Westin is beautiful, with a lot of places to chill out or have fun in the waves. There are also amazing snorkeling spots right next to the beach, where you can find so many animals such as turtles, pufferfish, sea urchins, octopus, and a huge variety of fish all swimming around. The beach also offers activities such as jet skis, boogie boards, boat excursions, and so much more. Very close to the entrance of the beach, keep your eyes peeled for a man in a blue google shirt. His name is Erik G, and he is very friendly and is the person to go to if you want to go on any excursions during your stay. During my stay, my family went on a coffee and cacao plantation tour, a sloth-seeing tour, a rainforest hike to Rio Celeste, and a ziplining excursion. They were all extremely fun, and we thank Erik for helping us book these amazing day trips. The Westin Playa Conchal is such an awesome experience, and we will most certainly need to return and experience the sense of Pura Vida.

We visited the Westin with two of our daughters and their families with five children ages 4 to 13 July 21-30. The checkin process went very smoothly. We arrived early in the morning as our flight arrived shortly after 6 am. They kindly invited us to use the amenities while we waited for our room. The configuration of the rooms in the bungalows was perfect and the beds were very comfortable. The housekeeping was excellent. The outside porch was the perfect place to sit and enjoy coffee while seeing and listening to local wildlife. Every staff member we encountered were a true asset to the Westin. They were all very friendly and helpful. Making reservations for a group of 11 was very challenging as it was difficult for more than one of us trying to get them at the same time for the same location and then inside or outside. We did go early and the hostess was very accommodating trying to seat us all together. The food was good but it did take an exceptionally long time for the entire meal at most of the specialty restaurants - averaging over 2 hours which was too long for the young children. Spirula was our personal favorite. The steak house remained closed during our week there but thankfully the swim up pool bar which was also closed opened after a few days. Mitra Mart was a great option for families with young children. The beach was beautiful with chairs, umbrellas, and crystal clear water. Having bottles of cold water, perhaps available at the tour guides desk at the beginning of the beach would be a great idea. The main pool is very spacious with plenty of chairs. The snack bar near the pool was also closed for renovations and finally opened the last full day our entire family was there. The one lacking component for us was the lack of entertainment offered. There were very very few organized activities around the pool during the day and very little to do at night. We followed others advice and booked excursions with Eric G. On the beach. We had one family book a surfing trip, we all went zip lining which everyone loved, most of us hiked to the gorgeous waterfall at La Leona which was very strenuous, and my husband and I traveled to Rio Celeste where we enjoyed our Cafe&Cacao tour which was so very informative, our visit to the sloth farm with Christian who was the perfect guide. Luckily we were lucky enough to see a seven month old baby sloth close enough to touch, as well as a blue Jean poisonous tree frog. We then headed to the waterfall. Our tour guide, Gustavo, shared a wealth of information on our long trip there and back, as well as pointing out things on our hike to the waterfall. Each tour we embarked on was extremely well run from start to finish with very helpful and friendly staff. Thanks to Eric G. and the Westin our family has beautiful new memories of our first trip to Costa Rica.
