The W Hotel · Costa Rica

The W Costa Rica Experience

W Costa Rica is the cool older cousin of family-friendly beach resorts. It is playful and design-forward in a way that feels fun rather than fussy. Think bright colors, bold spaces, and just enough edge to keep things interesting. Set right on Playa Conchal, one of Guanacaste’s most beautiful beaches, the resort blends tropical ease with a bit of attitude.

The rooms are spacious and easy to settle into. You can expect two queen beds, real seating areas, and balconies overlooking the treetops and ocean. The bathrooms feature great water pressure. The kids club handles the cookie decorating. And the pool has enough loungers that you will never spend your morning circling for a spot.

This is the resort you book when you want something that works for everyone, looks good doing it, and refuses to overcomplicate a beach day.

The Highlight Reel

  • The Beach: Playa Conchal is soft, swimmable, and walkable from your room. You will spot everything from paddleboards to pelicans. You might even see a few horses passing by.

  • The Pool: The family pool sits just above the beach and sparkles all day. It is lively, never chaotic, and exactly where your kids will make a new best friend.

  • The Wildlife: Howler monkeys swing by most afternoons. Birds are everywhere. It is just wild enough to feel magical but not overwhelming.

  • The Location: Located about 90 minutes from Liberia and close to Tamarindo, the resort offers easy access to surf breaks and boat tours. It provides just enough adventure to make you feel like you earned your beach nap.

Why We Love It

  • Location: Situated on Playa Conchal, one of the best beaches in Guanacaste.

  • Style: Bold, modern, and tropical without feeling over-designed.

  • Mood: Bright, playful, and relaxed.
