This review is long overdue and I'm still struggling with how to start it! Magical? Incredible? Gorgeous? Picturesque? Every single one of these adjectives apply and then some when it comes to the W Costa Rica! We went for our 20th Wedding Anniversary and couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate. Now, we had never been to Costa Rica or Central America in general, but there's a reason Costa Rica was tabbed as the Top Destination of 2024 by Travel and Leisure Magazine.. ok, now into everything that made this place special: Location: The W is situated in Reserva Conchal, roughly 90 minutes away from the LIR airport and the closer you get, the more beautiful it becomes. This place is truly gorgeous in terms of its scenery as it is built inside of a mangrove forest, and since it was rainy season, everything was green, lush, and full of color - I cannot stress how it felt like you were looking at pictures in a book when you walked around the resort. Because your on the most northwestern side of the country bordering the Pacific Ocean, the views are absolutely stunning. Just look at some of the pictures attached which show the view we had from our room every day! It's also incredibly safe as the Reserva Conchal actually houses a number of private residences as well as the Westin All Inclusive Resort. There are two separate security points with gates - one to enter Reserva Conchal and another to enter the W. Suffice it to say, only people who were staying at the W were at the W - it routinely took 8 minutes by car to go from the initial entry point to the W itself. Room: We opted for a Spectacular Ocean View room and it was worth every penny. We happened to be in Tower 1 on the 3rd floor and our balcony view of the Pacific Ocean was nothing short of incredible. Starting each morning by seeing the gorgeous blue ocean, mountains, and abounding greenery across the area was just breathtaking. We were there for 9 nights and honestly, it got harder and harder to want to leave when it was time to come back home! Since we had our kids with us, we had 2 queen beds that were quite comfortable. The bathroom had dual sinks, dual showers with a view of the ocean, and a private toilet. They offer turn down service every other day, which was a nice touch when we got back to our rooms in the evenings after a long day at the pool, beach (more on that later), or excursions. Food: You're going to hear this as a complaint from a lot of people and I'm honestly a little perplexed on this one. There are 3 different areas you can eat at the W - Cocina Mercado, Zona Azul, and Latitud 10, but you're likely eating from Cocina Mercado 90% of the time as they offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Not only that, but the W offers different cultural tasting experiences across Cocina Mercado and Zona Azul (i.e., Indian Night, Peruvian Night, Taste of Guanacaste to name a few) which were quite good, the Taste of Guanacaste in particular as it was authentic cuisine local to the
