Your week at a glance
Why Playa Conchal works
Playa Conchal gives the week a clear center: a white-sand Pacific beach outside the resort and tropical grounds, pools, restaurants and bars within it. Three open days keep the pace relaxed, while the Lazy Lizard cruise and Congo Trails zipline add one outing on the water and one in the forest canopy.

Why choose one resort for a week at Playa Conchal?
Westin Playa Conchal Resort and Spa puts the starting trip beside Playa Conchal, with pools, tropical gardens, restaurants, bars and select non-motorized water activities supporting easy days close to the resort. The package’s open days are intentional: there is time to swim, walk the beach or settle beside the pool without packing and changing hotels midway through the vacation.
The two planned outings change the view without turning the week into a circuit. The Lazy Lizard catamaran follows the Guanacaste coast for swimming and snorkeling, while the Congo Trails zipline moves through the tropical dry-forest canopy. Travelers can keep those starting choices or compare water, wildlife and inland adventures for each tour slot. Private transfers connect LIR Airport in both directions, and a rental car can be priced as an alternative.
What should you know before choosing this Playa Conchal package?
- The starting stay is six nights at Westin Playa Conchal Resort and Spa; W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal is the upgrade comparison, and Hotel Conchal is the value comparison.
- The starting experience slots are the Lazy Lizard catamaran-and-snorkeling cruise and the Congo Trails canopy zipline. Each can be changed independently from ten relevant alternatives.
- Three full days remain open for Playa Conchal, the resort and a slower pace; adding another outing may change the schedule and price.
- This package best suits travelers who want one comfortable beach base rather than a multi-region route. Travelers hoping to see several parts of Costa Rica should compare a touring itinerary.
- The starting plan uses private transfers from and back to LIR Airport. Prefer to drive? Ask about swapping the transfers for a rental car.
