Join us January 22-26, 2026 at the Westin all-inclusive beach resort in Costa Rica for our next international Getaway!

The Getaway begins with a cocktail reception Thursday after dinner where you will meet your hosts and have some time to mingle. Friday and Saturday programs include a morning and evening session with mass and adoration included. This leaves plenty of time for you and your spouse to relax and unwind all afternoon! Throughout the weekend there will be confession, spiritual direction, and mentoring available for those who would like it, as well as a chance to informally meet other great Catholic couples. The Getaway programming officially ends after Mass on Sunday morning, but your time extends till Monday in order to relax and be refreshed before returning home.

The Westin Reserva Conchal

AN ALL-INCLUSIVE GOLF AND SPA RESORT

The Westin Reserva Conchal an All Inclusive Golf Resort and Spa is an eco-friendly retreat set between the exotic forests and unspoiled beaches of Costa Rica's North Pacific Riviera. This is like no all-inclusive resort you have ever been to! The beach is white with shells, and lounge chairs with umbrellas are available to all. Right off the beach is a small reef with beautiful tropical fish you can easily see with the free snorkel gear. The staff is kind and attentive, and even the basic rooms feel like an upgraded suite. Each restaurant is top-notch and food and drinks can be requested from the poolside! Everywhere you look there are parakeets, herons, and even monkeys in the trees! (Don’t worry, they are pretty shy of getting close to people!) Your getaway package encompasses all meals and drinks, entertainment options, as well as government taxes and service charges. Come and leave your worries behind and relax with us, your spouse, and with other great Catholic couples!
