    I could never stay at a resort in Costa Rica. The country is way too beautiful to be stuck in one place, plus the luxury airbnbs there are far cheaper and more stunning. You can drive almost anywhere in CR safely, all while expierencing one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Can't wait to go back!

    My wife, son, and I stayed here just as they opened. We were one of two families there for the entire resort that week. We had to sign attestations stating they were actually unwrapping the pool furniture and using it there verses taking it home and avoiding taxation. It was an outstanding stay. We are due back in two weeks for the Canopy villa. It looks like it has grown so I hope it’s as peaceful as it was.

    We had a wonderful time staying here. We went on many excursions while there also. We Zip lined via Witches Rock, rented Sea Doos and at that time you could pay 25.00 to go up to the amazing golf course and ride carts after hours. It was one of the best things we did. The views were incredible and we saw unusual wild life as well. We purchased golf shirts in the shop too. The food was incredible. Our group had a great time under the great pavilion for a nice dinner and amazing entertainment one night as well. It feels secluded and relaxing. We enjoyed going out on a catamaran but just be aware of snakes and we were all stung by things we could not see. Some had a worse reaction than others. I would do it again but I would think twice before getting off the boat. I saw a poisonous snake swim right before my eyes. I was not the only one to see snakes in the ocean either... But that is part of being in nature I guess. This is where you want to go to be away from everything.

    Loved the resort, we stayed in 2015 for 4 nights after staying at Nayara Springs, another beautiful resort. Our suite had an infinity plunge pool, with incredible views. Lots of wildlife including visits from monkeys.You could hear them cooing at night. We rented jet skis, and took a ride on a yacht to cruise the coastline and do some snorkeling. Also did the after hours golf cart tour, which was fun, they do this at the Nevis property too.. The food was delicious. I highly recommend gorgeous Costa Rica. We always enjoy Four Seasons properties. Enjoy!

Not sure when you stayed/filmed this however, I really don't understand nor agree with the resort decision that staff should be masked, but guests not. It's over, and for the record, the mask mandates did not prevent any spread of the pandemic. Even the much-vaulted CMO of the US, Fauci, has now admitted this. I digress. Thank you for another outstanding presentation. Make them 2 hours in length and of course, RIP to the red suitcase.

Four Seasons is located on Papagayo Peninsula (North Pacific) where tropical dry forest is the most common, green trees are not really common there since the average of rain is more much lower than other areas like South Pacific and Volcanic Areas (Central areas of the country).... Caribbean areas are also much greener than North Pacific...

    Are you sure this is the best beach resort i mean i was expecting much nicer beaches than this especially at a Four Seasons Resort. I find the vegetation dry and brown ugly and the waters too be equally ugly. Where are the crystal clear waters, blue, green colors we expect to be seeing like in Bora Bora, Australia and other parts of the pacific? Ill pass on this excursion. Nothing else to do around here but swim in man made pools? Really? Whats the point of the beach if everyone hangs around pools? It must say something about the ugly beaches, nobody wants to use. And forget lush tropical forests, green vegetation and amazing views. Does not exist here!
