The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa, Costa Rica Reviewed in 2025

➞ What to Do

The Westin Reserva Conchal is right for many different types of travelers: relaxers, beach people, adventurers, and anything in between. One of the most difficult decisions of your trip will be how much to get out and do things and how much to sit back and indulge!

Playa Conchal is steps from your room and offers soft sand and calm shores. Paddleboarding, surfing, and jet skiing are popular surface activities, while a nearby marine preserve creates ideal conditions for snorkeling and diving. Sea turtles are known to nest at a nearby beach.

Nearby national parks, such as Rincón de la Vieja and Palo Verde, are within a day tour’s reach and can be arranged by the resort. Hiking to waterfalls, hot springs, and unbelievable views are top attractions in the jungle, along with seeing exotic wildlife and local communities.

After all of this, there’s a gigantic lagoon-style swimming pool with plenty of loungers and cabanas. If you stay in the Club Westin part of the resort, an additional adults-only swimming pool is available. Kids have access to all kinds of activities at the club, while the whole family can enjoy daily and nightly entertainment.

➞ What to Eat & Drink

With more than 10 unique restaurants and even more bars, there’s tons of variety on the menu at the Westin Reserva Conchal. All are included with your all-inclusive stay, but know that dinner reservations are required, and it’s usually best to make them before your arrival.

Breakfast is served at the main restaurant, Mitra Market, in an international buffet style. This buffet restaurant remains open for both lunch and dinner and offers different cuisine stations. Other lunch options include El Ranchito, a barbecue grill, and Caracola, a traditional Costa Rican and American restaurant.

Spirula Trattoria, a casual pasta and pizza restaurant, serves both lunch and dinner. Faisanella is another midday and evening option for international dishes in a more upscale atmosphere. Specialty dinner-only restaurants include Manglar, a relaxed seafood eatery; Bamboo, with an Asian-fusion menu; and La Sabana, a gourmet steakhouse.

A number of more casual bars and grills are available around the property, and there are even more options if you’re willing to walk over to the W Costa Rica next door. Room service is also available around the clock without a charge.
