The W is a beautiful resort in a lovely location. The staff are attentive and personable. We stayed in high end suites for 5 days..However, we had to have 2 different rooms because they could not accommodate 5 people when we booked. However, our children were given a suite in another building, as they could not accommodate us in one location. This created more of a problem than I would like. In addition, their building, 4, lost water one day due to the pump not working, and we were told this is not unusual. We were compensated for our children not having water for many hours and having to trek to our room to shower, but that is not what we expect from a W. The golf course is excellent, which we used for 3 days, and the transport was responsive and timely. |Our biggest problem with this resort is the needless overcharges and cost of food. The cost of food within the resort was three times what is in the area, and the quality is not the reason. The food was good in their top end restaurant, and the rest was acceptable. $20 for a drink, smoothie or alcohol, is just an uncharge for greed. |For reference, We left Guanacaste and went to La Fortuna where we stayed at a luxury hotel where the food was delicious and not as expensive as the W. We will be returning to Costa Rica time and again, but we will no longer stat at a Westin property.
