In a word, The Westin Golf and Sap Resort is OUTSTANDING. From the moment we arrived, we knew it wouldn t be the last time we visited. The grounds are impeccable, the service is the best we have ever experienced and the Royal Beach Room we stayed in was heavenly it had a spa bathroom with a huge soaker tub my favourite, along with a rain head shower with wand and the most comfortable king size bed I have ever slept in. The attention to detail here is impeccable, the finest linens, food, drinks, and service. Yes we had a concierge, actually three of them throughout the week, who were there to help with anything we needed. The restaurants were all unique and each served a delicious selection of food to stimulate your senses. There was no wait time, the service was excellent, the waiters were fluent in English and aimed to please. We were offered specialty house drinks that were both unique and exquisite in taste I tried white sangria, house sangria and house rum punch with passion fruit they were all deliciously unique and available with or without alcohol. The beach was divine, we walked it earlier in the day, it gets very hot early here in the tropics! The beach is covered in sea shells, hence the name Playa Conchal, yes you need to wear flip flops on the beach since the sand and shells heat up in the sun by 11 am at which time you can barely tip toe around. There are trees that out line the beach for shade cover so do not fear and the Pacific Ocean is so very refreshing. About the rain season, we were there in the beginning of August 2018, they told us they were in the rainy season this is why everything was so lush and green. We only saw sheet lightening a few nights, and felt a sprinkle of rain one morning around 6 am for less than 5 minutes. It was hot and extremely humid. It was amazingly beautiful everything I though Costa Rica would be and then some. We are naturalists and bird watchers. This resort was the perfect match for us we saw a variety of indigenous bird species, families of coati, families of howler monkeys, flocks of parrots, lizards, iguanas, butterflies, grass hoppers, fruit bats, dragonflies, 4 species of herons .. This place caters to everyone; there is yoga, a fitness room with treadmills, activities at the pool, their amazing 8 hole golf course, hiking trails, beautiful beach and wildlife all in a natural setting. I have a hard time comparing this to anything else, this place was uniquely heavenly, we are counting the days when we return. They provide a shuttle service around the resort, this place is massive and Costa Rica is hot, we took that shuttle more than we thought we would, especially at night since it is easy to get turned around in the dark. This resort has left nothing to chance, there are maps all around the facility, you are given your own personal map at check in along with a flash light and umbrella, and there are house phones all around the property that connect you with a 24 hour operator so you can ask for a shuttle, it doesn t matter if you aren t sure of your location, they know where you are calling from. We were here from Canada celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary it was MAGICAL. Thank you to all the staff that make this place the luxury resort that pampered us.
