Find your place to stay
The Westin Playa Conchal Resort and Spa offers a luxurious, all-inclusive escape on a sprawling 2,400-acre property in Central Guanacaste. Guests can enjoy a lagoon-style pool, seven restaurants, five bars, and a range of activities from non-motorized water sports to an 18-hole golf course. With diverse accommodations, including an adults-only Westin Club, this 5-star resort provides a sophisticated beach stay with choices for every traveler. Its all-inclusive plan covers select meals, drinks, and activities, ensuring a seamless vacation experience.
Playa Conchal gives a Westin Reserva Conchal vacation an inviting starting point: time along the beach, a swim in the lagoon-style pool and dinner without leaving the resort. Across the sprawling 2,400-acre Guanacaste property, restaurants, bars, family activities and golf give a day several possible shapes. Choose it for a coastal stay with room to be active or relaxed, and let the resort itself have time in the itinerary.
Seven restaurants and five bars give evenings variety, with 24-hour room service for another way to dine. Swimming pools and whirlpools, a fitness gym, activities center, weekly program and nightly shows widen the hours back at the resort. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling equipment bring active coastal time into reach, while tennis and the Westin Kids Club add ways for families to enjoy staying close.
Golfers can plan around the 18-hole, par-71 Robert Trent Jones course, while the beach provides swimming and snorkeling. Spa and beauty-salon treatments offer a quieter afternoon. The all-inclusive plan has precise inclusions and exclusions, so separate the activities you wish to arrange at extra cost from the meals, drinks and recreation already included.
Liberia airport is about 45 minutes away, and Tamarindo around 20 minutes by car for shopping, restaurants, bars and nightlife. Nearby Brasilito brings a fishing-village setting and souvenir browsing into the coastal stay. Arrange a taxi or transfer if you would prefer to leave the driving to someone else, then return for dinner or a show at the resort.
Accommodation choices make a difference to how a family or group uses the hours between outings. Deluxe Junior Suites and Family Junior Suites are 538 square feet and sleep up to four. Premium Junior Suites add a separate bedroom within 861 square feet, also for up to four. The 1,162-square-foot Family Master Suite has separate living and dining rooms and a Jacuzzi for two in the master bathroom, with accommodation for up to four guests. Air conditioning, cable television, mini-fridges, safes, phones and coffee service provide the shared comforts.
The adults-only Westin Club section offers a different stay, with a lounge, select premium alcoholic drinks, a private pool with Bali beds and concierge service, complimentary internet in the lounge and rooms, and preferential reservations for golf, tennis, spa and specialty restaurants. Club Rooms are 474 square feet and sleep up to four; Club Suites are 990 square feet for up to four, with a separate dining room and living room with a sofa bed. The Club pool has scheduled maintenance from September 1 through October 31, 2026, so consider those dates if that pool is part of what draws you to the category.

The alcohol choices in the inclusive was amazing! So much choice and water excursions (scuba, beach chair, beach towel, kayak, surfing boards) was a nice plus too. The rooms weren’t the as comfortable but it was kept clean and you definitely get your money’s worth at this resort! They also had covid testing on-site which was convenient

We loved it here! The staff was exceptional.

We had an amazing stay at the Westin. Everyone of the staff members we had interactions with were wonderful. From the housekeeping, greeting staff, kitchen, pool, etc... They all were so nice & accommodating while really making it their mission for us to enjoy our stay. The beach & pool are both fantastic. We spent our free day enjoying drinks and swimming in both with a little beach yoga in between. We enjoyed each & every meal here from breakfast to dinner at each restaurant. The food was top notch. Lastly, the nightly shows were a great way to wind down from each day after dinner. 10/10 stay

Food was just ok

The Westin blew us away. Took about a day to get our bearings but the facility was top notch.

After being at the Arenal Springs the feel of this resort was a let down. It was big and impersonal, but this was our own choice. The food was great, and the service was good, typical all inclusive. I wish we would have done another boutique resort for the experience but this was nice for the kids to get whatever they wanted w/out stress of extra money. The beach was amazing. The beach chair guy was very nice and accommodating. We enjoyed being able to shop & get excursions on the beach. The massage ladies were a bit annoying but manageable. The pool bartenders were mostly grumpy and made us leave the bar (because of covid) so that was sort of upsetting, but I guess understandable. Wearing a mask everywhere was also super annoying, they were very strict about it, which I guess is good for their standards. We were bummed we were unable to get restaurant reservations we desired due to it being filled up before we got there, which we felt was very unfair. The rooms were very well laid out and comfortable. Our refrigerator did not shut right so it didn't stay very cold, but we made it work. The beds were super comfortable! The guys enjoyed the golf course. Overall it was a fine resort but we would not come back to this resort if we were in Costa Rica again.

Great place!

Great place! Would definitely stay again!

We loved this hotel. It was beautiful and a perfect place to relax! We loved having the adults only pool and restaurant as an option, while still being able to go to the main pool and restaurants as well! It was a great, relaxing resort. The staff was very friendly.
Christiana O.
The staff was so helpful and nice. Everything was all inclusive and we felt like royalty! The hotel room did have some ants coming through the window, but everything else was amazing. The food, the animals, the beach and activities. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Did not want to leave...wonderful accomodations staff, pool, everything!! Loved it!

Huge, glamorous resort; one of the nicest weve ever seen. Iguanas, Coatis and exotic birds, beautiful palms and other trees and flowers are everywhere, gorgeous small beach (with $20 massages right at the entrance!). Massive creative luxe pools with swimup bars and food. Too many restaurants to count, dozens of bars, stores on site. Our room was basically a condo with a huge luxury bath and a living room. (some small maintenance issues but quickly fixed), we even had a private porch with comfy rocking chairs. Staff is off the chart with almost no exceptions; walking is great but there are shuttles everywhere you can just hop on. We needed an atm: they picked us up at our room on 2 minutes notice, drove us to the lbbby, waited an drove us back. we'll be back. Pro tip: pay extra for the club rooms (family club or one of the others). They're not just bigger and better located, but the best restaurant and the much better pool area are exclusive to the club rooms. That pool has 1/10 the crowds and noise, insanely great towels, a topnotch bar and restaurant poolside, palm trese shade, an inpool spa and concierges that cater to your whims. Way worth it..

Grounds could use a little more care. Disappointed with beach. So many offers of “massage” and ski jet tours. Couldn’t find someone to help with chairs one morning. Ended up staying by the pool instead.
Mark C.
Our first time in an all inclusive resort with this quality. Our Concierges Bergen and Jairo were outstanding. The food was excellent included breakfast, room service and dinners with great variety.
Susan C.
Cant say enough good things about this hotel. Our concierges, Bergen and Jairo, so very helpful! I could have spent more time here and skipped the zip lining and spent less time in the rain forest altogether! Wished we could have seen the beach from the resort but otherwise it was wonderful.
Eric H.
Excellent sevice. Food was good but not great
Steve M.
Very nice resort. We enjoyed the resort but glad we went to other places in country so we could really feel the local experience which the resort did not have.
Lovely resort. Excellent food. Friendly staff.
Kathy H.
Internet didn't work in our room half the time. We called multiple times but either they couldn't fix it or it would be fixed for a few hours and then go out again. TV also went out. For the price we spent too much time on repairs. Also did not like that by the time we got there it was hard to get reservations for dinner at the different restaurants. You should be told ahead of time to get reservations or they should hold reservations for when new people check in.
Anupma L.
nice location, good food the activity centre staff were a little reluctant in giving equipment and were a little rude rest all staff were awesome
Paul G.
another amazing vacation we had at the Westin
Kelly M.
Incredible staff at this resort we enjoyed it so much and felt welcome. We were able to experience all of the included options of our stay and we loved it.
Tara T.
For a name brand resort, it was really nice! The staff was great, the food was excellent, and the room was clean. For me, I prefer smaller more local resorts, so this was nice to try but not my favorite. I think it's a little expensive compared to other more intimate/cozy resorts I've been at.
Keith N.
Staff were great; food options were excellent
