Top Playa Grande Hotel Reviews

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

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

8/10 Good
"Overall a very nice property but it could take things to the next level for the price. For example, my family of four was always only given 3 towels every day even when we consistently asked for 4. Dinner reservations were difficult to get and impossible for our larger friend group who met us there. Nightlife was a little lacking. There were activities but nothing that exciting. The sports bar shut down the audio on the night of the final four basketball games for a county music performer when everyone in the area just wanted to watch the games. Staff was overall friendly, but we’ve been to other resorts where it felt more genuine. Again, overall we can’t complain. We had a wonderful vacation. Just some minor things that stood out."
