"The only thing that was not what I expected was the food. The food could have been better in all the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was amazing w all the fresh fruits. The pineapple was the BEST! "

5/5 Excellent

"We have stayed with Rio Guanacaste in the past and enjoyed our stay and loved every part of it… However, this day was slightly different, although the entertainment staff was awesome, and the events at the hotel from shows to the bar and pool stuff was great room service was very reserved on filling the minibar and coffee in the room… I feel we had to ask continuously for that to be done and the servers at The main buffet we’re very standoffish and didn’t really do much ,This was the same at the buffet by the pool, where in the past they were always right there to greet you and wait on you from cleaning dishes to refilling your drinks… I didn’t need it done, but it was nice to have this service in the past and I used to tip well for it, even though it wasn’t the same this trip we still tipped and just hope it gets better in the future, especially for an all inclusive"

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

5/5 Excellent

"Our stay at the Westin was great all around! Only complaint we would have is the temperature of the pool. It was really hot water...I would rate it at the temp of a hot tube, so there was no relief from the heat. Staff was awesome and very accommodating. Food was good and it was easy to make rsvp's for the restaurant's via the app. There were excursions offered thru swiss travel at the hotel and also Erik Garcia right outside the resorts had great options. All around a great time and felt very safe!"
