Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo

It's a shameful project full of bullies that excludes and abuses natural resources and the local community damaging a forest that's not even theirs

Fantastic Family Resort!! This property greatly exceeded our expectations when it came to how they treated us & our two young babies. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a tropical vacation that has fun adventures for adults & plenty to do for little ones. + The rooms are up to four seasons standard -- wonderful shower, beds are like clouds, plenty of space, and great views. + Each restaraunt is unique with awesome service and delicious choices. Loved the sushi/asian option the most. + Kids club and babysitting services was phenomenal. Never seen a resort make child care so easy. The stitters where highly professional and the kids club had its own pool + tons of play areas for the children. This gave us several hours per day to enjoy solo and the kids were still taken great care of and having a blast. + Kids under 5 eat free at restaurants…amazing +Boat excursions, beach massages, great pool service +Alan on the beach is super cool guy and set us up with fun events. We went during rainy season and somehow did not get any rain. Amazing experience and would recommend to other families in an instant.

We were looking for a restful vacation after a stressful year. We had a WONDERFUL time! The hotel was great, and the location on the peninsula was cool: one side was ocean (our normal preferred location), but the other side was the bay where all the watersports facilities were. The banquet manager saw us looking up at my favorite tequilas, and offered us some at 11 a.m.!!! (we took a small taste.) We would definitely go back!

The overall experience was pristine. The hotel’s location is the best of all the hotels on the peninsula, at the end, where the peninsula is narrower and as a result there are two gorgeous beaches, one on the ocean side and one on the bay side. The golf course is very well maintained and has gorgeous views. The food at all the restaurants is really good. We went fishing one day, caught a tuna, and the chefs of 2 restaurants really did an amazing job preparing the tuna three ways (sushi/sashimi, rolls and tacos). And of course the service generally is just impeccable. Everyone is so nice and attentive and professional. Of course, this comes with a hefty price tag but it’s the Four Seasons plus Costa Rica is no longer an affordable destination in part due to import taxes. But well worth it in my view.

This was our second stay at the Four Seasons Costa Rica, and somehow, it was even more magical than the first. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed — like we were returning home. The staff went above and beyond in every way, and we were thrilled to be upgraded to a beautiful plunge pool suite that made our stay unforgettable. What makes this place truly exceptional is the people. Camilo greeted us with a smile every day and helped us settle in like family. At Bahia, we were spoiled by Leidy, Chicky, Sharon, Ignacio, and Alyssa — the food and hospitality were amazing, and Ignacio remembered my request for tortillas each morning. Transportation was seamless thanks to Louis and Markel, and Marvin and Nacho were incredibly attentive around the pool and beach. Davis and Adriana made sure we were completely relaxed, while Silvia on chat was always quick to help with any request. Dining at Pesce was a treat thanks to Armando, Will, and Demetri, who went out of their way to make us feel special. Charlie’s rum class was a highlight — he even gave our two-year-old chocolates to keep her entertained! Sonia, the Assistant Director of Food & Beverage, always greeted us warmly and checked in often — even on our last day. I also want to thank the amazing security team, who helped me retrieve a drawer full of clothes I’d forgotten — I had an email with a photo by morning and my items were already en route via DHL! Daniel from housekeeping left such a thoughtful impression with the way he arranged bath mats around the plunge pool. The Kids Club team, especially Kendy, were so loving and attentive with our children — we’re incredibly grateful. Special thanks to Mikaela at the front desk for checking in with us often, and to Mr. Pierre, the Resort Manager, who took the time to personally welcome our family. It’s that kind of genuine connection that keeps us coming back. Thank you all for such a beautiful experience. We’re already counting the days until our next visit. Pura Vida, Saira
