Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

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

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are wonderful and made the stay even more enjoyable. The grounds are very nice. The food was very good and exceptional for an all-inclusive. Many food options so that was nice. Only thing I didn't like was the amount of people selling to you immediately after you step off the grounds towards the beach. Nothing the hotel can do about it, but not ideal."
