The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Amazing

Exceptional food,service-no complaints I don't know what you expect me to say as I have no complaints except having to type a long review I hate typing and it takes me forever I discovered the dirty monkey drink and the bartender at the main lobby as were leaving on sat dec 3 @11:00 did an amazing artistic touch with a chocolate picture on the top of our drinks! PURA vida! The

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Perfect resort

This resort was awesome - the staff were all very friendly, cheerful and courteous. Food was amazing and at every location I ate at. There was ample to do and the best part of all was that it was not yet crowded at the end of November- beginning of December.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Excellent experience

Overall a very good resort. Beach not as nice as many resorts and pools were a little cool for old folks like me. The meals were amazing. Taste, selection, presentation, service, all exceptional and 5 Star IMO. Beautiful grounds and constant maintenance and enhancement going on. Exceedingly friendly staff at every contact point. Off site excursion program very well organized. It is far from some of the real features of Costa Rica though but wonderful for a high end vacation experience.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Great place for a reunion!

This was a 40th year reunion for a group veterinarians and included 40 people. All were accommodated in close proximity in an adult only area which was perfect. Because this was shoulder season the resort was never too busy or overcrowded. The staff were friendly and attentive and very helpful with just about everything. The golf course was in reasonable shape given there was a hurricane the week before. Green fees were discounted because of that which was a bonus. Excursions were availabl [... read more]e for zip lining, a river cruise, trips into Liberia and even to Nicaragua. A sunset Catamaran cruise with snorkeling and other water activities was great. Driving time to off site activities was at least 1 hour. The beach is near by and provided opportunities for snorkeling, bicycle and horse back riding. The food was exceptional in each and every restaurant. It was the perfect getaway for catching up.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: I've been to over 30 five star all inclusive's in the Caribbean and Mexico. This one is ranks in my top 3

Rather than repeat what everyone says about a great five star all inclusive as my title says it all, I'll make only a few observations. I went with a group of 38, one of whom was in a wheelchair. He travels frequently and said he'd never been to a hotel that was more sensitive and accommodating to his needs with the one small exception that the shower lacked grab bars. They found a chair for him instead. I've been to other hotels with a Royal Beach club equivalent and would recommend using that  [... read more]option if you appreciate a quieter pool, pleasant, non intrusive music playlist, and a very nice spot for breakfast and lunch nearby ie. the Faisanella. If you'd like a delicious burger and GREAT fries or a pizza, order ahead at the bar right at the pool and eat from your lounge chair. There is a bit of a wait as it comes from another kitchen so enjoy a Dirty Monkey in the meantime. Their Clubhouse could be improved upon with a dedicated private bar rather than someone disappearing into the back and improving the lighting and seating arrangement. You can get drinks there but the atmosphere is a bit lacking IMO, compared to other private clubhouses I've seen elsewhere. We'd take our drinks in the evening to the small patio outside which was candlelight and very pleasant. Our favourite evening bar was the Imperial bar where live music and the fire/ fountain made for a fun atmosphere. Our entire group thought it was a terrific resort and wonderful holiday.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Wonderful from beginning to end!

Everything met or exceeded expectations. We enjoyed the bus ride to the resort, learning about the socio-economic conditions in Costa Rica from our tour guide and actually arriving within one hour as were were told. Driving through the gates to the resort was like stepping into a new world. We had expected the grounds to be tossed after Hurricane Otto had passed to the north just the day before arrival. We were greeted with lush and well- cared for landscaping and everything clean and well prese [... read more]nted. We were guests of the Royal Beach Club and enjoyed the concierge service, private guest pool, restaurant and service always with a smile and genuine concern for our enjoyment and comfort. The staff were terrific. I found it very personal when most staff made a point of knowing my name - making the stay very welcome. I was impressed. The staff went out of there way to make our stay enjoyable and always were willing to share the location of a large group of Howler Monkeys. On more than one occasion, the trolley drivers stopped beside as we were walking, to ask if we wanted to see the monkeys. We simply jumped aboard and enjoyed the monkey antics and when we were steady, they took us to our original destination. Service above and beyond. As part of a group of 38 persons celebrating a class reunion, the resort was accommodating to our requests to have two special group dinners during our stay. Not an easy task to manage this size group but they made it enjoyable. My wife and I relished every meal we had at the various restaurants. On several occasions we had reservations that needed adjustment as friends wanted to join our table or we were invited to join others. The staff were wonderful to simply say, " Yes, we can do that." My personal favourite was the lamb skewers at the Mediterranean Restaurant. Best lamb ever. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. In fact, every washroom on the property was presentable and clean, whether it was first thing in the morning or after late night cocktails and entertainment at The Imperial Bar! I was impressed with everything about our vacation. Pura Vida!

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Great Resort!

We recently returned from this resort for a stay between Nov. 6-12 and must say it's a great resort. Takes ~ 1.5 hours to get to the resort. Very large resort but doesn't take long to walk from the furthest bungalows to the pool, restaurants, etc. They also have little passenger transports to take people from place to place, either hop on one as they're heading by or a phone call to pick you up works too! Staff members are great & super friendly. All grounds are kept in great condition. Th [... read more]ey have 6 a la carte restaurants of which we got to 5 of them. All fairly good and a number of vegetarian options on all menus. Mediterranean and Japanese were our favorites. Portion sizes vary at restaurants so sometimes it's hard to say how much to order. The buffet was also good - usually lots of variety for lunch. Breakfast was standard and good each day. The pool is huge! Some days it was cleaner than others, a couple days it was quite dirty looking - should probably have a couple staff cleaning 1 - 2 times a day. They have a beach but very few lounge chairs out - not sure if it's a "resort property" beach or not as lots of locals and vendors are out there. Always had security at the entrance/exit to beach but locals are quite friendly. Pool service was hit and miss. Some days they'd have a person getting drink orders, other days nobody. Could definitely use another person or two. Could've used 1 more bar by the pool, sometimes it got a bit busy but never waited more than a couple minutes. Lobby bar closes fairly early but I suppose with only 1 restaurant to serve it doesn't make sense to keep it open after the restaurant closes. They do have a late night bar with live music and DJ's every night. Lots of indoor seating with TV's for sports, but could used more outdoor seating. It can get quite busy but is a nice way to wrap up your day. Overall I would recommend this resort. Would go back but likely not often as the "bang for the buck" is quite as good as Mexico or other destinations that may be closer to home.

Westin New York at Times Square: Fantastic hotel

Excellent service, clean rooms and friendly staff. Concierge and hotel security were very helpful and had great tips for touring and transportation. There were 3 of us staying in a room and the hotel was aware but only 1 set of bathroom amenities. Had to ask each day for extra shampoo. Otherwise everything else was excellent.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: A delightful experience

The hotel was lovely and the setting was perfect. I was very impressed by the staff. Everyone was so helpful and pleasant. They made an effort to remember our names and said hello to us each time they passed us. There was no request too big and everything we asked for came in a timely fashion. Their English was fantastic and I can't say enough about their desire to please and accommodate us. For an all inclusive we were very impressed by the food. The beach was great and so was the location. Aga [... read more]in I believe our trip was as pleasant as it was primarily due to the fabulous staff. The made sure we had a seamless experience. There were shuttles to move us around the property but we chose to walk and experience all the beauty and glory that is Costa Rica. We were greeted by monkeys and coatis' and sharing the pathways with iguanas made us feel like we were really getting the best balance of natural environment and modern conveniences. Overall it was a perfect trip and would definitely recommend this property for families and couples or friends looking for a wonderful place to vacation.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Great resort for nature lovers

Set within a nature reserve, you don't get the clear cut views of the ocean like some other more modern resorts. You do get animals in their natural habitat though and its wonderful. I love sitting by the pool and listening to birds and monkeys and watching the friendly iguanas. Staff is warm, friendly and try their best to please. Loved the Riu Palace too but prefer the Westin for the nature.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: The PERFECT vacation from beginning to end!

We absolutely fell in love with Costa Rica and this resort. We upgrade to the Royal Beach Club package and felt like royalty with access to the adults only pool, concierge, etc. The entire resort was beautiful, it felt very exotic and so lovely. The food was incredible. We loved EVERY meal we had all week long. The beach is stunning. So peaceful and such raw beauty. We enjoyed the sunset every evening. We can't wait to return to this resort and to Costa Rica!

Westin Playa Bonita: A resort perfect for us

We loved this resort. The food at the buffet changed every day and it was always great. No issues with dirty water or washed vegetables. Staff were so welcoming and lovely. We felt truly at home for 7 days

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Great location... but....

Let me start by saying the staff is amazing at the Westin. The rooms are dated but the beds are comfy. Lighting in the bathroom is not great. The resort is huge so expect alot of walking. Lots of chairs by the pool if you are up by 9 am. Our mini bar was never refilled... we had to call everyday for water and beer to be brought. The food is great at the a la carte restaurants but the buffet is terrible... everything is cold unless you get the made to order pasta or omlette. Make your dinner rese [... read more]rvations as soon as you get to the resort... it took me 35 minutes to try to get through to the reservation desk which is insane. They can only book until each Thursday as a new schedule starts friday... so that left us without reservations on friday, saturday and sunday because we had an early excursion on the friday and by the time we got back to the room to call they were totally booked... which left us with buffet ...but we complained and were able to get 2 reservations. When we complained they told us its because of the big groups that they have this issue?? The resort has lots of wildlife to see which was my favorite part. We used Aaron on the beach for excursions, he was great and less expensive than the Nexus tours. Take a walk to Brasilito if you want to bring home some coffee or gifts as they are not as expensive as the gift shops. It was a great trip but I wouldnt recommend this hotel to my friends, you pay a premium price you expect a premium service.

The Westin Maui Resort and Spa: The agent from TriPadvisor was tOp NOTCH !!!

The overall vacation was SUPERB !!! Hawaii & the people are very Nice & friendly !!! Hotel was Fine ~~~ some flaws & areas that I was not happy with !!!! Beach & weather & adventures experienced was GREAT !!!

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Tremendous Resort!

The grounds were beautiful and well kept; our unit was spotless, spacious and the bathroom was very well appointed; the staff were extremely attentive and genuinely proud of their country and wanted to make sure you experiened all that you could; the water and beaches were stunning - you could walk at least an hour either way or walk the ATV trail; the food was excellent, the best we have experiened at any all inclusive and the wait staff were terrific.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Great all-inclusive resort

Spotless, well maintained property. Rooms clean, spacious, modernized, with many amenities. Grounds well maintained. Many restaurants to choose from, but reservation system difficult to navigate. Food excellent. Beach is public so be aware that vendors are there. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend Royal Beach section( adult only) for a premium experience.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Dream vacation

I don't have a single negative thing to write about the Westin Conchal. The resort is beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff is accommodating. We traveled in a group of six and all of us will be returning in the future

Westin New York at Times Square: Nice Hotel, great location!

Nice hotel, great location, 1 block from Times Square, centrally located to lots of attractions! Room was clean and chambermaidb service was great! Never tried the restaurant but looked nice! only complaint would be that a fridge in the room would be nice, no where to keep drinks cold and if you have leftover food which we did no where to keep it! There is bar fridge fully loaded but you can't take anything out of it or you will be charged! Staff was friendly and helpful if you had questions! Oh [... read more] and a pool would be nice after walking around New York in the hot weather! But no big deal!

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Great vacation

Very happy with the property, and the service was always friendly. Clean and large room, well maintained gardens and pool area. We are really well at all the a la carte restaurants, and waiters were helpful and courteous. The beach is nice and water is clear, but surf and vendors discouraged many from using it.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: Honeymoon luxury

I was impressed by the service, especially the 24 hour room service which was our favorite for breakfast (better than the buffet). We were celebrating our honeymoon and were given wine/chocolates however nothing else that the "honeymoon package" describes. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I loved the yoga classes and other daily activities available. I would definately return to CR and to Westin
