The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort

This resort is fantastic. There are activities on the beach, chairs, umbrellas, etc. Great infinity pool w. giant jacuzzi overlooking beach. Views are spectacular. People are all friendly and efficient. Resort is very clean. The construction in phase 2 is totally separate - you don't even know its there (unless you are looking for it). Right across the street from major shopping/restaurants, aquarium.

We're here now in Jan 2009 and yes there is construction going on but it is mostly in the second phase and therefore we don't really hear a thing. Our unit looks directly out over the infinity pools straight out to the Caribbean sea and is absolutely wonderful!!

We stopped by the Westin Lagunamar at the end of November 2008 - we were staying at Royal Sands and we walked over. I would not stay here until it is finished - the construction was still going on and the beach was steep, narrow, with no chairs or any amenities whatsoever. Location is great across the street from La Isla Mall, the rooms will be nice - all with oceanviews - when they are ready - but I would hold off until the resort is completed, right now is almost looks depressing with the rocky steep wild beach and tons of unfinished construction, and few hotel guests.

They still have a few kinks to work out, but they are well on thier way at becoming a 5 star resort.

We visted this resort from October 10, 2008 through October 17, 2008. The resort is beautiful. Every room has a view of the ocean. It is located in the middle of the Hotel Zone. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance. This resort just opened in August and only four of the total of 16 buildings are completed and in use. The other buildings are in various stages of completion. I would highly receommend this resort.

IT'S BRAND NEW.....IT HAS TO START w/5 STARS and a Jackhammer warning.
