Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. opened its first all-inclusive resort — The Westin Resort & Spa, Playa Conchal in Costa Rica. The property, formerly known as the Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort, will begin renovation on its 406 suites and all public areas, which will be conducted in phases through December 2011.

Nestled in a lagoon-style pool, The Westin Resort & Spa, Playa Conchal is adjacent to the championship Robert Trent Jones II golf facility and is easily accessible from the international airport in Liberia, Guanacaste. Inspiring wellness with its signature Westin the Spa, the resort features gardens, suites, thatch-roofed bungalows, as well as breathtaking views. Guests will enjoy a variety of outdoor recreation and nightly entertainment and several restaurants serving both local and international cuisine.

Westin currently has six hotels in Mexico and one in Guatemala, and will be opening four more in Latin America during the next two years including The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center, Peru; The Westin Guadalajara, Mexico; and two in Panama: The Westin Panama and The Westin Playa Bonita.
