Westin Resort.... I would like to know if anyone stayed at the Westin resort in Costa Rica recently. I just found out that the Westin used to be Paradisus. I stayed at Paradisus a few years ago and loved it. I am just wondering if the Westin is just as good as Paradisus.....or possibly better? Can you tell me anything about any other all inclusive in Costa Rica? We like the beach, GOOD FOOD and relaxing.
Also, wondering about Punta Cana as an alternative...but not sure of the quality of the food and wonder if they speak English.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The Westin Playa Conchal is in very good shape. I think it's been improved since it was a Paradisus.
The best big resorts in Costa Rica are The Four Seasons and JW Marriott. But neither is all-inclusive in the sense of endless buffets and open-bars.
The Westin is the best of that bunch. Followed by the Hilton Papagayo.
Far below them, I find the Barcelo and Occidental properties.
The new RIU Palace is supposed to be good, but I don't like their beach, and the company is accused of causing major environmental damage during construction (same for Barcelo)
Thanks for the info.
Not sure if I want to go back to Costa Rica.
Punta Cana is less expensive but not sure if it will be as good....resort luxury and good food?
