If you’ve been following along, you already know Costa Rica is that girl when it comes to destination wedding spots. In Part 1 and 2, we explored the timeless elegance of Four Seasons, the charm of JW Marriott, and the soul of Andaz Costa Rica.
But today? We’re talking about two resorts that couldn’t be more different and yet both completely wedding-worthy: the W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal and The Westin Reserva Conchal.
One is bold, vibrant, and full of personality. The other is relaxed, spacious, and beautifully balanced. And whichever one speaks to your soul I’ve got you covered.
The W Costa Rica – For the Stylish, Creative, and Just-a-Little-Extra Couple
If your Pinterest board has neon signs, non-traditional vows, and guests in stylish shades: The W Costa Rica is calling your name.
This resort is a total vibe. From the bottle-themed installations to the elevator mats that literally greet you based on the time of day, every inch of the property oozes personality. I loved how intentionally designed every space felt it’s playful, modern, and made for couples who don’t just want a wedding… they want a statement.
The ceremony site is tucked into lush greenery, giving off major tropical romance without feeling staged. Think bamboo stairs, artful accents, and a setup that’s intimate but photo-ready from every angle.
Oh and the adults-only playground? Genius. This spot is perfect for couples who want a stylish, kid-free celebration without compromising on fun. Add in a spa experience that includes open-air showers, water features, and a steam room you won’t want to leave, and you’ve got the makings of an unforgettable weekend.
If you want your wedding to reflect your personality, your edge, and your love of a little flair,this is it.
The Westin Reserva Conchal – For the Laid-Back Couple Who Still Wants Options
On the flip side, The Westin is like the chill cousin of the W, she’s calm, spacious, all-inclusive, and ready to serve options.
This is a fantastic choice for couples who want to host a multi-day wedding experience with ease and comfort baked in. The Westin Club’s private guest area was a favorite of mine, it offers that sense of exclusivity for you or your VIP guests without the full takeover price tag.
There’s also a private wine room that can be rented for intimate events, ideal for a welcome dinner, rehearsal, or that extra-special family moment. And the outdoor areas? Wide open and full of possibility. Whether you want a breezy beach ceremony, a garden welcome party, or a reception under the stars, The Westin gives you space to play with, without feeling overwhelming.
We didn’t get to dive as deep as we wanted (which just means… I’ll be back!), but I already see so much potential here for couples who love convenience, comfort, and customization.
So, W or Westin?
Whichever one speaks to your style, I’d love to help bring your wedding vision to life. Whether you want bold and vibrant or relaxed and refined, Costa Rica has the space.
