The room itself was the best part. Super comfy beds and really spacious. The bad - the shower door didn’t seal so the floor was constantly covered in soaking wet towels. As other reviewers have stated - there’s nothing special about the food. The breakfast buffet is worth adding for the extra $11. Def not worth $22 per person though. We ate at the buffet once for dinner and it was pretty awful. We ate at fuego and it was way over priced for the quality of food. Same goes for the starfish place. But one thing they all had in common was terrible service. Though, as we move around to different areas (we’re now in Casco Viejo) and the service here is pretty awful as well. I don’t think anyone here hustles for tips. It’s weird.
As for location - you aren’t going to do anything out at the Westin, so staying there kind of seems pointless. Where we are staying now is a cool area that you can walk around and there’s tons of shopping and food and stuff to do. And all the excursions we did while at playa Bonita, we could have just done from here.
Highly recommend the monkey and sloth tour. By far the best bag for your buck at $30/person for 5ish hours!
Ok back to hotel - as others have said, beach is terrible. Low tide seems to last forever and it goes out sooooo far. And you aren’t left with sand and tide pools, you’re left with mud and grossness. Do not stay here if you’re trying to have a beach experience.
Anyway, I would recommend staying elsewhere - casco viejo has been great!
