What a GORGEOUS and special place! We had the best time in this magical location! Biggest tip is to reserve through Kristen Nix Travel! Kristen went above and beyond - we got wonderful upgrades and will always use Kristen for future travel plans! At FS Costa Rica, we loved the 2 beaches and the close proximity of the beaches, pool, gym, and restaurants. We stayed in 2 Cielo Rooms and we liked how easily walkable the rooms were to all of the activities. It worked great for our family of 5 because sometimes we'd go in different directions and then it was easy to meet back up. One of the unexpected highlights was the amazing breakfast buffet! Top favorite activity was the private cooking class we did with Chef Victor Castro. My daughter and I said it was the most special, memorable part of our trip! The waitresses Carolina, Ana, and Daniela are wonderful. Vanessa at Alma gift shop was great. Hector practiced Spanish with my son. Most of our luggage was unfortunately not loaded on the plane out of the US which was a bummer, but the FS delivered it for us the next day when it arrived. In the meantime, they offered us toiletries and a discount at the gift shop which was so nice. There are lots of free events offered like a free coffee class we enjoyed. The watersports are complimentary too which is great. Housekeeping staff is amazing. The room was spotless. Even the beach bathroom at the end of the day was spotless - I was amazed. All around a fantastic trip! Highly recommend.…

Hotel's Favorite
“Tropical dry forest luxury” is a motif I didn’t know I wanted or needed until our visit to Four Seasons Costa Rica. And since we happened to be there in August, during their rainy season, the grounds were actually quite lush and verdant, with exotic (to those of us in the US) flowers growing everywhere. After a long day of traveling, being greeted with a coconut water/rum concoction made all trials and tribulations melt away. The perfect start to a wonderful vacation. Here are some things that made our week-long visit stellar: - The people: Supposedly, Costa Ricans are among the happiest folks on earth, and while that seems impossible to measure, the ones we encountered made me a believer. Wil, Raul, and Jaime at Añejo, Kenneth and Fabian at the pool, and Luz in the restaurant were just a few who always addressed us by name, with a friendliness and sense of hospitality that stands above even the impeccable Four Seasons standard. - Resort layout: If you opt for a standard room, as we did, it’s likely that it will be in one of 3 main buildings, situated very close to the pools, restaurants, fitness center, etc. I loved leaving our room 5 minutes before our reservation and arriving right on time. - Rooms: Though we were offered a (pricey) upgrade at check-in, we declined it and were glad we did. Our beautifully appointed room had plenty of space for the two of us, and we wanted for nothing. I especially loved the screened-in porch; we had a few rainy afternoons and it was an absolutely perfect place for a summer nap, accompanied by the sound of raindrops and ocean waves. - Restaurants: While the food is good at the other Four Seasons beach resorts we’ve visited, our experience is that it becomes one-note after a few days. Not here. Pesce was our absolute favorite, but the others were also excellent (including Nemare, the steakhouse a short drive away). We went to a couple of the other Peninsula Papagayo restaurants not connected to the Four Seasons, but they were nothing special and we wished we would have just stayed put. - Booking airport transportation through the resort: Our arrival was marred by stormy weather that resulted in our aircraft being diverted to the San José airport. For a time, we didn’t know if we would make it back to Liberia, though through a stroke of luck we did, albeit several hours late. The Four Seasons transportation staff was monitoring the situation, and as we later learned, they were prepared to fetch us from San José had we been stranded there. That’s next-level service that made the extra cost worth every penny. - Free laundry facilities: Most would say that there’s no way they’re doing laundry on vacation, let alone while at a resort with room rates well north of a grand per night. I get it. But I loved the fact that I could put in a couple of loads during our week-long stay… it meant lighter packing and not checking luggage. And a couple of “needs improvements” things: - The pools have seen better days. Don’t get me wrong; if your plans call for nothing but sunbathing – that’s all I did – you will be able to do that successfully, and happily, frozen cocktail in hand. They do the trick, but for Four Seasons, they're nothing special (and even a little beat-up in parts). No more than 3 feet deep anywhere, the adult pool's proximity to the trees along the beach means that after only a couple of hours, you’re pulling leaves and pods and drowned insects out of your path. I hear they’re doing an overhaul of this area… good move. - Wi-fi is spotty in sections. It needs a boost, especially in this day and age. All in all, though, we had such a wonderful, relaxing time. Gracias and mucho gusto.…

My husband and I have been to Costa Rica a few times before, but this was our son’s first trip. Andaz is very nice and service was outstanding! It was extraordinarily clean, the food was great across all restaurants (although we didn’t try Mangler) and the alcohol was top shelf. We knew we wanted to book an excursion and read the reviews about nomadtourscr (Independent tour coordinator). Do yourself a favor and find He is amazing and has extremely well organized tours. We chose buena vista del rincon adventure and la leona waterfall surpassed our expectations for sure! Even got to see snakes! Overall, an absolutely fantastic choice for family vacation and we will be back!

Our family recently had an absolutely unforgettable stay at the Four Seasons Resort in Costa Rica. This luxury property provided us an unparalleled experience, not just in terms of the magnificent location and amenities, but also because of the outstanding service offered by the hotel staff. While the overall service was impeccable, there were three exceptional individuals whose efforts stood out and amplified the joy and comfort of our vacation. Firstly, we'd like to extend our sincere appreciation to Javier. He was not just a driver, but a wonderful guide who took us around the sprawling resort in a golf cart, offering us a bespoke tour that felt incredibly personal and intimate. Our exploration of the property with him was nothing short of an adventure; he introduced us to the vibrant, local wildlife in its natural habitat. Thanks to Javier, we saw monkeys swinging in the trees, iguanas sunning themselves, majestic eagles soaring overhead, and a diverse range of other exotic birds, their beautiful plumage providing a splash of color against the lush green backdrop. His knowledge and enthusiasm made our tour a truly immersive and educational experience. Santos, our waiter during our stay, was another exceptional individual we had the pleasure of interacting with. His service was the epitome of luxury hospitality, surpassing all our experiences at other high-end hotels across the globe. Santos' attention to detail, professionalism, and his ability to anticipate and cater to our needs were exemplary. He not only ensured that every meal was a fantastic culinary journey, but his warm demeanor and friendly conversation enhanced our dining experience manifold. Lastly, we can't forget Alan, the charming shop manager. Alan's exemplary customer service truly highlighted the spirit of the Four Seasons. One instance that particularly stood out was when he noticed our son's disappointment over not finding a large lollipop in the shop, a favorite treat of his. Alan immediately took it upon himself to rectify the situation. He hurriedly left the store and returned a few minutes later, bearing a large, rainbow-colored lollipop which he had managed to procure from somewhere. That simple act saved the day and brought a huge smile to our son's face, transforming his mood entirely. What made it even more memorable was Alan's graciousness in not charging us for it, an act of kindness that we greatly appreciated. In summary, our stay at the Four Seasons in…

We are having a wonderful stay at four season hotel with our family. It’s a beautiful property set next to a gorgeous beach. Though the beach is public as all the beaches in Costa Rica, it’s clean, safe, friendly and not crowded. The pool is fantastic as it is so large, it never feels crowded. One of our favorite things about the resort is the animals on the property. Howler monkeys in the trees, iguanas and coatis roam the grounds which is so exciting for the kids to see. We have done a few fabulous excursions during our stay thanks to nomadtourscr arranged Arenal volcano, Atv for us which was wonderful and a visit to a waterfall and Buena vista adventure which was incredible. He is super friendly, The staff at the resort is very accommodating, We highly recommend this hotel!

We come here twice a year - on my wife's birthday and my birthday. Every time it is a great experience. We book a private suite up on the mountain and the suite is always very nice. Food is excellent. We fished on our trip as always and did great on both trips. Of all the tropical destinations we have tried this one is the best.

If you are looking for the most relaxing while at the same time energetic vacation ever, look no further than the Four Seasons at Peninsula Papagayo! We stayed with friends who own the private residence Pacifico 6131 which has been remodeled and is beautiful (and is available for rent!). The staff is the MOST accommodating ever and are always happy to serve. All the restaurants on the property are excellent. Our particular favorite is Pesce and the Pappardelle con Ragu di Manzo is the BEST! The breakfast at Bahia is a bargain and if you are really hungry they have a buffet. If you are adventurous the concierge can help you with reservations at the Explorers for various activities on land or at sea. This time we did the zip lines :) Don't miss the sunsets! Some of the most beautiful in the world. I must say I have never stayed at a resort with such truly happy people eagerly waiting to fulfill your every desire.…

The Four Seasons Papagayo is an amazing resort. We spent four nights in a canopy suite, and WOW, we were so happy! The bungalows are spacious and so elegantly furnished. We saw a family of monkeys outside of our tree! The beaches feature exceptional water and phenomenal snorkeling. A big bonus: the water is super warm! Warmer than Hawaii's waters, and we saw four reef sharks within the first few minutes of snorkeling. Definitely get the tacos at Bahia restaurant. We got them 3 days in a row...they're THAT good! Muchas gracias to everyone at the Four Seasons Papagayo. We will definitely be going back!
