The Westin Reserva Conchal is a large Marriott all-inclusive on Playa Conchal, one of Guanacaste’s most appealing beaches.
The resort is strong for families, golfers, Marriott Bonvoy members, and couples who want a polished full-service resort rather than a boutique Costa Rica lodge.
The pool complex, beach access, wildlife, golf, and grounds are recurring strengths.
Food is generally considered good for an all-inclusive, but not the main reason to choose Costa Rica.
Guests who want a more local, exploratory Costa Rica trip may prefer splitting time with Arenal, Monteverde, or a smaller beach town.
Hidden tips
Upgrade to club-level access if a quieter pool and lounge-style retreat matter.
Use the resort as a beach-and-pool base, but plan off-property excursions if you want a broader Costa Rica experience.
Bring water shoes or reef-safe beach gear because Playa Conchal has shell/coral fragments in places.
Things guests wish they had known
The beach is beautiful, but it is not a fully private beach.
The adults-only or club-style sections can materially change the experience.
The resort is best for relaxing beach-and-pool days, not for an immersive Costa Rica road-trip style vacation.
Strengths from our research
Excellent Playa Conchal beach setting.
Huge lagoon-style pool with swim-up bar.
Strong family and multi-generation appeal.
On-site golf, spa, tennis, fitness, and kids programming.
Marriott Bonvoy participation adds points value.
Other considerations from our research
Large resort footprint can mean walking or shuttle use.
Food receives more mixed feedback than beach, pool, and service.
Beach vendors near public-access areas may surprise guests expecting a fully private beach.
Can feel expensive for travelers who do not plan to maximize all-inclusive use.

Room intelligence

Rooms To Avoid: Guests sensitive to walking distance should avoid farthest standard-room buildings unless they are comfortable with a large resort footprint.Guest feedback regularly notes the resort is large, though generally manageable.
Best Value Room: Junior Suite categories can be a practical value choice for families who expect to use the beach, pool, and activities more than the room.Exact value depends heavily on Marriott Bonvoy redemption pricing and the cash premium for club-level categories.
Best Room Category: Westin Club rooms or Royal Beach Club-style upgraded categoriesBest fit for guests prioritizing a quieter pool, lounge access, and upgraded service within a large family-friendly resort.

Go Costa Rica lists $35 plus tax per person for its shared LIR shuttle. The page does not explicitly specify the currency code or whether that amount covers one way or a return; confirm both, the tax and the full party total. Private transport requires a separate quote.

Marriott says the hotel does not provide a shuttle and links to Go Costa Rica as an alternative. That operator advertises a shared LIR service with a stop at W Costa Rica before Westin: airport departure at 4 p.m., Westin return departure at 10 a.m. with lobby pickup at 9:45 a.m. Confirm current availability and whether these times fit your flights before booking. Ask about luggage, child seats, meeting point and alternatives outside the schedule. SJO and TNO are different airport routes.
