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 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.
