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.

If you’re staying at an all inclusive, this one was GREAT! Food was really good, our only complaint was it was the same types of choices just prepared differently at all the restaurants. Not a make or break it deal though, at all. I would highly recommend staying in the Royal Beach Club, the pool was nicer and quieter and just a lot more luxurious.
Brandi L.
Great hotel, food and animal life.
Mary C.
This was such a beautiful resort. Every staff member was so nice and accommodating. The beach was gorgeous. My only complaint was the sound of ATVs that interfered with the tranquility of the surroundings.
Marcela V.
Extremely convenient and great gym

The Westin is a large, very accommodating all inclusive resort that exceeded my expectations. Since my group of 7 persons are all adults, I'm very glad that I decided to stay at the adults only Royal Beach Club. I highly recommend that for all adults without children. I'm not sure we would have liked this resort as much if we did not stay at the RBC. All the staff there were outstanding. My only issue is that the service at the restaurants was a bit slow, but that was really ok. Also we had trouble getting an onsite golf cart for rides at times. But the pools and amenities there are very, very nice. The bartenders at the pool bar were usually always prompt to get drinks. One special moment was after 4 of us went on a local fishing trip and caught tuna, the hotel allowed us to bring the fresh fish to one of the restaurants to cook for us, just as we wanted it. It was delicious! Overall, the food at the resort was pretty good. We went to 4 different restaurants and all were very good. All over the resort are plenty of wildlife...lots of birds, iguanas, and monkeys. Generally it was a nice experience, but it may have been much more than I needed. It may have not been the best value, but since it was already paid for, it was fine.

I would have appreciated more night life. The staff were great and the food was terrific.
Laureen G.
Excellent in all areas
Michele P.
Beautiful beach and resort. Food and drinks were very good for all inclusive.
Jennifer J.
The hotel was a bit too big and the main pool was a little too rowdy for us. The staff was hit or miss as far as service and attentiveness. The grounds were beautiful and extremely well maintained. The reception areas were extremely helpful and nice. The private pool area and Faisenella were absolutely the best part of the stay.
Bill E.
Excellent property, clean, friendly staff. Would return 100%

We were very pleased with this resort. Eduardo was our very first shuttle driver escorting us to our rooms. He introduced himself and ask for our individual names which he remembered and would call out and waive to us every time we saw him around the resort. This really added a personal touch to the experience. The only negative comment I have is with their dinner reservation system. We could not get anyone to answer the phone. We tracked an employee down and asked them for help. They also could not get anyone to answer the phone and had to call a manager for assistance.
Brian L.
Our room had a/c issues, which we reported to the staff.
Robin M.
Everyone was very friendly and the place was beautiful.
Kathy H.
bad resort , this resort is like a Mexican style all inclusive with many young drunk punks, would not stay there ever again and would not recommend to anyone
Ken H.
we had to move rooms once ended up a pool side room and from then on it was a nightmare, loud music all day long and half the night, called the office 3 times to complain but nothing was ever done, everyday the music from the pool went on all day and then moved to the family club house until all hours of the night ,[ no sleep] just young drunk punks running around all night long, called front office but nothing happened to cure the problem, would not stay their again and would not recommend for any one looking for a relaxing holiday, stay far away and stay at the arenal springs and spa and you will be very happy your complaints will be looked after
Mike M.
Its a nice property, it could use another pool as it felt crowded. Our towels were dirty but got them changed right away. The food was good, the staff were very accommodating, I can't say enough about the friendly staff.
Susan M.
Hotel and food at all restaurants were great. Had a great time and learned a lot about the area from our bartender, Donald (Taco) Garcia at the Astria, a lovely man, great personality.
Alexander M.
food was terrific. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Donald Garcia, a bartender/manager in the Astria bar was phenomenal. In addition to great service he was a true ambassador for the resort. They are lucky to have him. It would have been nice to have more space around the pool to hang out.
Damian C.
A few of the staff were great, some were bad, most provided "OK" service but nothing special. A big step down in service quality in general from our previous resorts. Other than that it was great.
Joyce B.
Only one restaurant was poor service and poor food quality (Latin Americans). I would have liked more information on how to get into town to see more of the area. Saw the most wild life right outside our door than any other place.
Amanda N.
This property is beautiful!! The beach is gorgeous. The people are friendly. I was upgraded to the adult only section at no additional charge. That makes this person who doesn't have children very happy! On my walk to breakfast the last day I ran into about 30 monkeys having a blast swing and talking in the trees. Then on the way back from breakfast I ran in to a bunch coati. That really made my day! I got great pics and video.

Problem daily with the Air Conditioning. We complained numerous times before someone came to check it. They finally changed the unit. But it still never worked properly. We were lucky it wasnt too hot this week. We did not like the beach area and did not know you could not bring a chair or have drinks on the beach. This should be stated. Was a very big disappointment. WE had to take a 50$ shuttle to a local beach to lay on chairs. The food was excellent, but you had to have a reservation for every restaurant , except the main buffet which was not as good and fancy as the sit down places. We had an issue with a hostess not seating us because we were early for our reservation, the place was empty. We went somewhere else, and with lots of wonderful help from our Beach Club concierge he was able to get us a wonderful table and food without a reservation! We were glad we paid extra for the adult area. Was worth the extra !
