The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the nicest inclusive resorts that my wife and I have ever been to and she is from Alajuela Costa Rica, this is our first time that we stayed there we celebrated our fourth anniversary and my birthday and it was excellent. Staff was excellent. there was a miscommunication about the pricing on the anniversary package room, and they honored the price that I was quoted. I can’t say enough good things about this property and it’s Staff. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a matter fact I’m going to take my in-laws with me. Next time I go."

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"
