Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica

Located at the Peninsula with stunning views. All the activities are fun and family-friendly. What a pleasant stay.

At the FS Papagayo there's a Forbes plaque celebrating that this resort has been voted 'one of the best in the world'. We all know that these awards can sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt. However, in this case it is entirely true. I've been lucky enough to travel extensively and stay in some exceptional resorts. This is one of the very best. This was our 3rd stay at the FS Papagayo. We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa - #4822. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Absolutely beautiful villa with amazing views. And as I said in my last review in July 2022, the services levels at this resort are superb. Special mention goes out to the team of drivers, headed by Karim, who ferry guests around in golf carts. Always friendly and efficient. In my last review I flagged one area where there was room for improvement at the resort - the gym. I was delighted to discover on this visit that the gym had been substantially upgraded. Lots of free weights. Indoor and outdoor squat racks. A smith machine. Good quality weights machines. A huge range of cardio equipment. And an excellent selection of free weights. Well done to the management of the resort! On the subject of improvements, all of the restaurants at the resort had improved since our last visit. And the beach club restaurant is an excellent addition. We missed the complimentary electric bikes. Apparently the system is being upgraded. Look forward to having them back in operation when we next visit. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much to all the management and staff for a wonderful experience!

Just wonderful! The joy of having TWO beaches to choose from was amazing! Took a drive to look at other beaches and found nothing to compare! Of course, the four seasons bed was its usual amazing self. This property is a little remote but they have great activities on site-a lot of them free. We loved snorkeling, nature walks, wine and rum tasting. Rented a golf cart and drove around the course even though we don’t golf. We went late in the day and the course was practically empty. The scenery was incredibly beautiful. Aside from the pasta at the Italian restaurant Pesce, which is elegant but very comfortable, we really liked watching the sunset at Anjou bar with Tapas. The bread at the beach club shouldn’t be missed! The staff, the staff, couldn’t be more wonderful. They taught us so much and provided lots of laughs while delivering their usual over the top service . We thought we might visit other properties on the peninsula but were so content we opted to stay on site most of the time.
