Sales pressure is INTENSE at Westin Lagunamar

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 May 2024via mobile
Vacation Club fractional ownership pressure here is INTENSE.
Check-in as guest… they ask if you will do the sales presentation.
Ask for ANYTHNG from desk during your stay… they are trained to tell you that you should really see the presentation.

Say no firmly decisively but kindly… they mark your reservation and then move to “tell us why” at every encounter.

Try to book an excursion… they call your “personal concierge” (sales agent) who insists you should want do the presentation.
Try to ask for something for your room, basic service… they call your “personal concierge.”

Say you’re trying to have a nice family vacation with no pressure… the next desk agent asks if you will do the presentation and if not “why not?”

It never ends, until you exit the property. I’m not sure, maybe they will follow me home too.

It isn’t nice or fun or about service. I really tried but they made it unpleasant to need anything other than a self service vacation with no encounters with staff.

I’m Bonvoy Platinum almost ten years running… I have seen a lot. This place is super EXTRA on the sales pressure. Make your own call if it’s what you want.

Just don’t think you can make it stop or not happen, no matter how nice or clear you are. It is the situation here… I’m here right now. May 2024.

I absolutely loved the bed in this hotel! I felt as if I was sleeping on clouds! Many times when you visit abroad the beds are uncomfortable! Westin Lagunamar is right across from the La Isla mall. The grounds are well kept! I would like to give a special shoutout to my concierge- Matthew P. hailing from the UK! He was the best concierge that I can recall ever! Matthew was attentive and followed through! The hospitality was natural with him as he gave end to end service for all of my requests as well as great recommendations all with a jovial laugh and smile!
Things that were nice about my room was the view of the beach and the conveniences of home in the junior suite! I was able to bring leftovers to my room, refrigerate them like my guacamole and tacos and heat them up on a later day. I was also able to wash my clothes and dry them! The jetted tub in the bathroom was nice and I was able to soak one evening! Be careful though I thought I had the water at the right level just above the jets and when I jumped in I experienced a lil overflow of water. The offc. Workers were nice too! The food was delicious and the drinks. The Crimson tide was my favorite and the Carne asada tacos were scrumptious with the delicious guacamole. Just be prepared for the $$. It was convenient getting coffee at Starbucks on the premises and getting meals at the mall across the street. The ice cream 🍦 at the mall is so good! The Mexican food was also descent! I made great memories and Westin has been great to me over the years! When feeling satisfied the saying goes, “they owe me nothing!!”

The hotel is a timeshare venue and, as such, does not measure up to other experiences we have had with Marriott and with Pueblo Bonito. The room was very small (despite it being handicapped accessible—which was available when we arrived). The staff was friendly; however, some information we received was incomplete or incorrect. We left early in the day on several excursions but were not able to get room service for breakfast or even coffee. The restaurant by the pool was good. Wait staff was friendly. Spa is tomorrow but was not available until later in the day.

My family and I visited this resort resort for the second time this past April for my daughter senior spring break. My daughter brought along a friend this time. We had a one bedroom suite which worked perfectly for us. My husband and I slept in the bedroom and the girls slept on the pullout couch. I did ask them for a mattress topper the first day to make it softer and the girls said that was fine. We had a fabulous room on the eighth floor that overlooked the infinity pool in the ocean. We love this resort! It is absolutely beautiful. With its infinity pool and the beautiful beach and the amazing outdoor mall right across the street. We had a fully equipped kitchen so the first day we got groceries down the street att he Soriana. We are hoping they would deliver but apparently they don’t anymore. We caught a taxi back to the hotel as we had a lot of groceries and couldn’t walk. But it’s only about a 10 minute walk away. We would have breakfast in our room every morning and I would make sandwiches to bring down to the beach for lunch. Every night we ate at one of the fabulous restaurants across the street. One day we did a super fun catamaran ride to an island. It also includes snorkeling. Other than that we just enjoy the beautiful beaches and pools every day and had a fabulous weather. The 3 PM happy hour at the swim up bar in the pool is not to be missed! We will definitely be back!

We were here for 4 nights for a quick getaway and had a wonderful time- the property is stunningly beautiful, right on the Caribbean and has incredible pools and views. The beach is gorgeous. The staff made our visit the best! Our concierge, Omar, was very helpful, kind and had great suggestions. Selena at the Elite Concierge Desk helped us out in a pinch with a reservation! Felipe, Armando, Luis and Alejandro made us amazing drinks and remembered our room number and order! We did our owner update with Marco who understood our needs and gave us a great update experience without high pressure. We ended up taking advantage of another 4 night stay for next year at a fantastic price. We stayed in a studio this trip and it was really perfect for two. Our view was completely unobstructed of the Caribbean and we loved sitting on the balcony either sipping cocktails or eating meals or watching the fire show.

Room tip: Stop at Soriano’s for groceries. Book your snorkel or sunset cruise when you get here due to weather. No mosquitos in May!

As a large corporate owned resort, this property feels more like a luxury boutique brand. The grounds are immaculate, the pools are exceptional and cleaned using a salt system which is pure gold for a swimmer. Offering two pool options we tended toward the adult pool altho we noticed they don’t enforce this adult only policy. Wasn’t a big deal tho, most kids here are very well behaved.

We had to move 3 times, that was very frustrating but apparently the way the rooms were booked using points didn’t back up perfectly so we had to make 3 different reservations. The front desk and concierge could not help in any way. Total waste of time and housekeeping. Rooms are well equipped with kitchens and generally all the comforts of home with lovely supportive comfy beds, full baths with jacuzzi, balconies overlooking the ocean. Building 9 was the favorite. The drip coffee in the room is a no go. Go to the owners lounge or the market.

Can’t say enough good things about the staff; Jorge, Luis, Gabriel, William, the ladies in the Spa giving excellent massages and the ladies at the front desk. Congratulations to this resort for exceptional customer service!!

Sorry to say, the food options here are rough. It’s mainly burgers and pizzas and incredibly overpriced. While the hotel zone boasts numerous excellent restaurants, it’s nice to have one food option on sight. The only healthy meals I could find were ceviche at Viente (order b4 5 pm) and filet mignon on the kids menu at Duna. Ask for green vegetables and they can muster it up. Almost everyone we met had same complaint. We never dined at Oceana only because everyone said it was a total waste of money. Hoping it improves for future.

Happy hour is quite funny with the ringing of the bells at 3 pm. Like bees to honey, the swim up bar is quickly swarms with friendly happy people. While alcohol at 3 pm is quite early, you gotta give it a shot at least a few times.

We did enjoy the seafood party on the beach. Whoever catered that food, it was a step up for food on campus and healthy. The opening music however, before the fire show was a downright deafening mess. It made for very stressful dining. Not sure it was worth over $100 pp. Ryoshi across the street is a much better show, food and service for same price with the gorgeous sunset.

Thank you for such a great holiday! We will definitely be back.
