Absolutely Stunning Beachfront Hotel with Amazing Restaurants and Kind Staff! Our trip to Costa Rica was completely last minute- we booked our stay at The W Reserva Conchal just 3 days before arrival. We had never been to Costa Rica before, and all we knew was that we wanted a beautiful beachfront hotel. Because, we've stayed at Westin properties in the past, we trusted the Bonvoy Brand Hotel, but this resort went far beyond anything we expected. The beachfront was absolutely stunning. We swam in the ocean almost every day and the hotel provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and full food and drink service right on the beach. It truly felt effortless and relaxing. The pools were gorgeous, clean and overlooked the beach. The cabanas were a wonderful bonus- available at no charge as long as they were not being used. We also loved that the pools are open 24 hours a day, not that we needed it, but it was nice knowing we could take a late night swim if we wanted. There are 3 restaurants on site, and every single one was excellent, and tasted like special cuisine. Each restaurant offered a standard menu plus themed specials on select nights, which made dining exciting and different throughout our stay. But what truly made this resort exceptional wasn't just the food, the beach, or the beautiful property- it was the people/staff! I have never experienced such genuine kindness and hospitality. Every staff member treated us with the warmth, patience, and open arms. The level of service was beyond impressive- it was heartfelt! The on-site tour company was also incredible. They arranged jet ski rides, ATV adventures and an unforgettable excursion to Arenal Volcano that included a boat ride, hiking, hot springs, and both lunch and dinner. Everything was seamless and perfectly organized. I have to give a special shout out to the following tour staff who did an amazing job: Kenneth, Keilin, Jonathan, Emmanuel. And if you're lucky and get Marco as your Volcano tour guide, you're getting a true gem! I truly cannot say enough about our experience. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way, and we cannot wait to return! Westin, you absolutely outdid yourselves. Not just with your accommodations, and dining, but with your INCREDIBLE STAFF!!! While I don't recall all names, I'd like to give a special shout out Idia, Aaron, Geovanni, Edwin, Roberto, Jose, Dariem & besst mixologist Fabian. From the bottom of my heart thank you, you made our stay one that we'll never forget and truly lived up to your slogan "Pura Vida!"
