Reserva Conchal Beach Resort, Golf & Spa

We rented Casa Malinche #2 (5 bedrooms, 6 baths) in Reserva Conchal. There were 9 of us and we had more than enough space for everyone. The resort is massive and beautiful. We were near the main entrance so it was easy for us to take our rented golf carts out into the surrounding area of Brasilito (although a bit stressful to drive with the tour buses - but late evenings were fine and actually a lot of fun). The guys played golf and the ladies enjoyed some of the best spa treatments we had ever received at the Heavenly Spa. The Reserva Conchal concierge was super helpful as was the villa management company. We alerted the management company every time we had a private driver coming and they alerted the security gate so that they were able to pick us up directly from our front door. It was perfect! Eric Garcia on the beach was super helpful with transportation and very reasonable in pricing - much better than the Uber or Westin shuttle pricing we were quoted. We highly recommend Gracie La Vid and Gracie Mar Vista. Both were excellent and accessible by golf cart. Patagonia was also a lovely spot and very diverse menu close by. The Reserva Conchal Beach Club is gorgeous and everyone was super friendly. They will take chairs out to the beach for you. The food and drinks from Neenda were great. We did not explore the Westin, but had drinks and appetizers one evening at the beautiful bar in the W Hotel. The location is a bit of a drive to the rainforest attractions, but there are plenty of other thins to do in the area. Manta Ray Catamarans have reasonable and wonderful private charters for large groups out of nearby Flamingo Marina. Truly a wonderful place to vacation!

We rented an Airbnb condo at Reserva Conchal and LOVED it! The condo had three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms -- all bedrooms are ensuite. Two of the bedrooms had King beds and the third had two queens which was ideal for our party of six. We were on the third floor so we had a great view of the resort, golf course, and ocean in the distance. Lots of birds and Howler monkeys on the property. The pools are wonderful - our villa had a shared pool very close by and their is a giant shared pool at the Reserva Conchal beach club with poolside service for drinks and food and direct beach access. Free use of kayaks, SUPs and other equipment. Golf course rents clubs and it was easy to get a tee time. The restaurant at the club is great for dinner - delicious food. Service was good but a little inconsistent. The on-property concierge and hiking trails are fantastic. We did not have time to mountain bike, but would have loved that, too - bikes are availble at no charge. We also hiked in the attached Wildlife Refuge (make a reservation with the concierge a day ahead if possible). We did book a horseback riding experience with Pacific Horses which started right at the beach access -- superconvenient and excellent experience! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family and hope to visit again in the future!

We had the best family vacation at Reserva Conchal for 18 people ages 4-76 years old. We met Aaron on the beach and he helped us schedule a great full day tour with horseback riding, river rafting, ziplining, hot springs, mud baths, and also a catamaran sunset boat tour. He was very helpful and accommodating. Ask for Aaron on the beach and he will help you with anything you need! He has been helping my family for about 15 years now. Very trustworthy and can depend on his help! 10 out of 10!

We just came back from 7 great days in a condo at the Rerserva Conchal Beach resort. We rented the condo via the Marriott Homes & Villas site and was able to use some Bonvoy points, which made the vacation that much better. The local rental agent and their team were great. Communication with the local team, Rose and Elizabeth, was great as they were very organized and sent us all the information needed. They were able to get us an early check-in and a late check-out so we were able to get right into the condo when we arrived at 1pm and stayed until our ride to the airport came at 12pm the following week. Our condo, 3315 in the Cocobolo building was beautiful. It was Huge, with 3 bedrooms, but our 3 kids loved the chance to stay in the bunk room (2 bunk beds). The master bedroom had amazing views of the golf course , water, and even some of the mountains. Not sure why they put the central air unit right outside the master bedroom, but that is the only issue I have! The deck off the main floor was a great place to start our day with breakfast and to relax in the afternoon before heading out to dinner! We rented a golf cart, so our trip to the beach club was about 5 mins max since we cut thru the Golf course to the great beach club. Beach club and pool were outstanding. Plenty of kayaking, sups, and boogie boards to use. Chair service was great and the beach with it's natural tree shade was amazing. We ate lunch at the beach club 4 times and had our fair share of the amazing mango and watermelon smoothies. (both kid and adult versions!) Condo Pool was also great and served as our late afternoon or evening swimming location! Since we had a golf cart, we ended up eating at 4 local places and shopping at the local market just outside the resort. Papayo's at Hotel Conchal was great. Hard to believe a place in Costa Rica can make some good pizza (and we come from NJ)! We also ate at Patagonia Del Mar, Pleamar (via taxi), and Anders. While all were great, I have to say Anders was the best! We ate early so had the place to ourselves, but Ander and his staff was great. The food was fantastic. Highly recommend Reserva at Playa Concha. The Westin and W looked great, but if you like renting condos, this is the place, as you get the amenities of a resort, but the independence of renting your own place.

We did spend an amazing long weekend in Conchal resort. The pools were amazing, accomodation really nice. Staff was very helpful. Spa, food and drinks were very good. Also an amazing beach very close to the accomodation. It was clean, with lots of shade if needed and not too crowded.

My husband and I booked a golf lesson + 9 holes of golf with Oscar David at Reserva Conchal, he was the most patient and gracious instructor I have ever encountered. He started with the basics, then we went to the driving range and then eventually on the course. I haven't played golf in about 20 years so his patience with me was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend this if anyone is looking for someone to teach them golf basics on vacation (or at any other time). We had to leave the following day, but if we were staying longer, we would have booked him a second time. Thank you so much Oscar, I may start playing golf at home!

Most recently my wife and I traveled with our entire family to the resort. We reserved 3 rooms via our travel agent. The food was just o.k. Our daughter and grandson's suitcases were inadvertnly placed in the wrong van by hotel staff going to visit a volcano. My daughter realized the mistake at the airport when she could not find her bag. It wasn't until a day later that the hotel realized the mistake and located her two bags. My wife Kristine has spoken to the hotel manager's on a number of occasions over a period of 2 days.We have spoken to Margie on Sunday at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. My wife spoke to Yovan on 2 separate occasions on the 20th. My wife had him on speaker phone and I was able to listen to the conversation. Initially he accused us of not paying our bill, which is ridiculous since we booked the trip through a travel agent. and it was paid in full. After discussing it we simply told him we wanted our suitcases sent to us. He suggested that we travel back to Costa Rica to pick them up, which is also ridiculous. He indicated that he had no mechanism to send them back to the U.S., which I don't understand as Fedex, DHL, etc... provide this type of service. Other than being very condescending and rude to my wife he was no help. We had to enlist the help of a local tour guide in the area to retrieve the suitcases. The treatment by Yovan was very unprofessional and hostile. I'm sure this is not how Westin wants their guests treated.

This place is 5 stars! Really amazing. Private with a secure entrance & a guard seems like 24/7. Beautiful scenery on the property & views from our condo. The pool was so clean & well tended to. There was all kinds of wildlife on the property including monkeys, iguanas, & insects of all varieties & that's just what we saw. We didn't go to the Beach Club so I cannot say anything about it, but it was nice to have the option to go. We kept ourselves busy doing other activities & exploring. The condo itself has a fully stocked kitchen with eating & cooking utensils. Full, clean refrigerator. Nice decor. Trendy & classy. The A/C got very cold, which we liked especially at night. We hope to be back again sometime soon!

Traveling with our two kids having space is very important. This was a much better fit for us than the Westin Andaz or W because the kids had their own rooms and we could spend time on the balcony or in the living room at night. The views from the balcony are gorgeous. Only real complaint was the AC rattled in the master bedroom but to be fair we didn’t call and ask them to do anything about it. It’s a bit of a hike (7-8 mins drive) to the beach. We enjoyed the beach club area very much and spent most of our days there by the pool and beach. We saw a lot of howler monkeys near beach club and on the drive and coatis when we walked around the Westin. We also saw deer within the property one night. Lunchtime food was good and we had some dinner there but preferred to eat out for a change of pace with the two Gracia restaurants as our favorites. Beach club WiFi is a bit spotty unless you are near restaurant. The concierge Karol was also very helpful. Our daughter got stung by a scorpion one night and we didn’t know if it was poisonous (they are not!) and she answered us after hours and got the clinic to go above and beyond. We really appreciated that touch.
