Conchal Beach Tours

The resort is small and located close to Tamarindo. The buffet and snacks were about as expected for an all inclusive with fountain pop and water coolers in central locations. I would not call this a 5 star if you are comparing to Mexico. Its likely a 4 at best. The restaurants on site were ok..better food in town. There seems to be alot of locals who show up for the weekend so the pool and beach becomes very busy however during the week the place was dead. The drink selection is ok with plenty of off brand liquor and some decent premium liquor included but items like spiced rum was considered for vip and the cost of that extra is not worth it. AC works great in the rooms as does the mini fridge. The same tired live band plays twice a day and seems to only have one set. The entertainment is very plain and basic but the people are very friendly and were easy to deal with. We enjoyed the stay but spent more time in town enjoying what Tamarindo had to offer for food and drinks. The beach area and estuary were the best part of this resort. Lots of sand and the water rushing in and out of the estuary made it fun to hang around in to beat the heat.

We stayed in the Ron Ron suite. Wonderful views. Great food and service at the restaurant. Hotel was difficult to find since it was the evening. The viewing platform had great views but lots of bugs and ants up there.

The only problem we had was with the food. It was horrible. The Papagayo spot was the best and only place that had descent food.
