Top All-Inclusive spot!!
This was our first time in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this resort for anyone visiting Costa Rica for the first time. My fiance and I traveled to Costa Rica with his best friend and his wife. We had a great time at the resort. We booked through Costco Travel and highly recommend them as a travel source. Prior to traveling to Costa Rica, I checked out the reviews on TripAdvisor and the best one was from Feffer911. This review will add from our perspective. First, impression is that as an all inclusive goes this was top notch with respect to food and drinks offered. Second, if you don't want to leave the resort you do not have to. The property has everything except Sloths, tree frogs and snakes. But most of the animals roam freely on the property from Howler Monkeys to iguanas. Third, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms - We stayed in a bungalow overlooking the golf course. This was a very beautiful view. The rooms were very nice. One drawback would be where they have the closet. It is on the first floor. You have to go around the corner to get to the bedroom, so you have to walk around to the living room to get dressed, which is odd. Food - They have several restaurants. Two of them you don't need reservations; Mitra Market and El Ranchito. It was difficult to determine the dress code for the restaurants. Most reviews seemed to indicate that you have to wear dresses and collared shirts and pants for men. We found this was not the truth. If you download the app, the app will tell you the dress code. Most of them say casual dress for most of the restaurants. We had reservations at: Manglar, Faisanella and Bamboo. I would highly recommend Faisanella and Bamboo. The food from appetizers to entree were very good. We were not impressed with Manglar. They offered Octopus, which we ordered but it was served burnt. All of the restaurants have what they call a "Premium" menu that has an upcharge. In my opinion, the meals offered are top notch without you paying an extra charge, but that goes to preference. If I travel back, I would probably just eat at Mitra. They offer 4 different stations and are opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The versatility in what they offer is quite good. El Ranchito is only open for lunch time around the pool. Drinks - They serve alcohol!! Most of the drinks were very well done and the liquor is recognizable. LOL!! And they don't hold back on the alcohol like other places. Spa - Very Nice, but I wish they explained the different types of treatments better. I took advantage of the 80 min. detox massage. They also have a hot tub, mineral spa and pool that you can use once you have your treatment. Tours - We did a private tour with Costaricasbestchoice.com. If you want to take a tour, there are several different companies to choose from. We selected this one based on a recommendation from one of our golf cart drivers. The private tour, in my opinion was not more expensive than the regular tour. What it did offer us was the ability to go from each spot at our leisure. Our tour guide, Olman Sosa was great. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful. We went to Bijagua and visited Catarata Waterfall(note: less steps than the Blue waterfall to get to), a Natural rainforest, lunch at a local restaurant, Cafe & Cacao tour and a our last stop was for souvenirs. We had a great time. Be prepared all tours last several hours. We started at 6:30 and arrived back at 4:30pm.

Bamboo @Westin
This is a review for Bamboo @ Westin. We had a fantastic time at Bamboo. The service was attentive, the food was very good and the place was lively and well kept. Wanted to give a special shout out to Gabriel Salazar, Esteysi and Sady for making this super special!

AN EXCELLENT 5* GET-A-WAY!
The Weston Reserva Conchal all inclusive golf resort & Spain in a prime location in Guanacaste. The beach is reknowned as one of the top ten in the world. We opted for Club Class which offered us a room in Tower 1, and a butler / concierge. Jeffrey was excellent and made our vacation. All the staff were excellent and made us feel welcome. Our room was spacious with a good location and a balcony overlooking the pool. There was a stocked fridge and a good strong shower. The rooms were very clean and the housekeeping was excellent. Although it was an All Inclusive, you had to reserve dinner reservations every night, at one of several restaurants, all of which were very good, although you could eat at the vast buffet Matra, any time without reservations. Our favourite restaurant was 'Bamboo', an Asian fusion mix. Room service was no extra charge. Our morning breakfast was at the pool restaurant, and although the servers were very friendly, service was generally very slow. One had to be careful of additional 'guests' at your table. Birds including hawks would join you in order to get left over snacks. There is an Adult side and a family side, and with no kids, I advise the Adult side. There are many activities: Coffee Tasting Class, Ceviche Class, Yoga, Jet Skis, Banana Boats and of course Golf. The Nightly Entertainment was above average, This hotel is recommended

Great family vacation!
Beautiful resort. Food and drinks were great. Lots of variety and fresh options. The service has been good as well. The only areas we experienced slow service is at the bar, but the bartenders are very busy and working hard. We used Eric G to book an amazing excursion to the waterfalls, wildlife (sloths, monkeys, snakes, frogs and birds), coffee and chocolate farm and a local lunch. He’s in the blue shirt as soon as you enter the beach from the Westin. Our rooms were well appointed, clean and our convene took care of anything we needed. Lots of activities- beach yoga, coffee tasting class, ceviche class, and nightly entertainment. We will definitely be back!

Two Thumbs Up for Westin Reserva Conchal
This was my first all inclusive experience and it was so worth it. The hotel was clean, the staff were incredible, and the food - though the reviews I read weren't great - was surprisingly good. I booked activites through Erik on the beach (blue polo) and was so appreciative to his attention to detail and the spectacular excursions we experienced. I would book this trip again today!
