Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica

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

Nice but too expensive!

We took a mother/ daughter trip to Costa Rica while my daughter was on a gap year. We loved the facilities: our room was beautiful, the bar and restaurants had a great selection of food, cocktails and wines, the pools were relaxing, and the spa was wonderful! We would definitely go back! We found Gabriel who is super helpful in organizing planning your tours. Nomadtourscr He recommended us to do waterfall hike to La Leona Waterfall,Rain forest see sloth It was Nice experince the Driver and guides were super friendly We plan to return sometime later in the future.

This resort is perfect for families or couples looking for a quiet place to relax and reconnect! We travelled as a family of 4 . Our kids are 21 and 18. We had a canopy 2 bedroom villa. Totally worth it! Private plunge pool and the amazing view topped off the luxury accommodations! We felt like we were on our own private island. We ate at all the restaurants and they were all good. Highly recommend the half day boat excursión with nomadtourscr. We enjoyed that so much we asked him to book a private Leona Waterfall Tour, buena vista adventure, rain forest which was awesome as well. It was such a great family trip at a beautiful resort. I definitely would return to the four season for another family vacation!

We stayed at this Four Seasons in April of 2024 with my wife, nanny, and our youngest kiddo (2 yo). We are fans of the company; I insist staff read Isadore Sharp’s book on customer service when I hire them, and we have stayed at a dozen or so of their properties. We also have a family friend who worked in the head office, and she tells the story of how Sharp threatened to drop the staff health insurance provider if they didn’t cover her “experimental” treatment. I have deep affection for him and the brand; it’s my kind of place - usually. Despite this, I will not choose to go back to this particular Four Seasons (but note: my wife liked it and would like to go back, see below for personal preference details). First, the good: the staff are typically Four Seasons fabulous. They made our 2 year old feel like a celebrity, with team members I’m sure he hadn’t met calling him out by name. Our nanny reported that the children’s centre was great, and they went back repeatedly. The only exception are the folks who greet at the restaurants - I don’t know what it is about that job that invariably attracts (or converts to?) snooty people who are less about customer service and more about status. Here too, more than once we had to go looking for someone to seat us, and I had one unfortunate conversation with a young woman who was making it very clear I was not the right person to be at that venue (in fairness, I agreed with her - see below). The concierge was able to do some unusual planning for us, securing us a charter flight out of the jungle later in our trip to Costa Rica, and convincing the car rental company to collect the car at the air ***** if we left the keys in it - note that this is several days after our FS stay ended. They were often slow to respond to email, but otherwise awesome. About the hotel: the property is immaculate. We rented a “residence” for us and the nanny, and it was fairly well appointed, with B- furniture in terms of physical comfort. That’s about as good as it gets in my experience - in my entire life, at dozens of hotels, only the Four Seasons Silicon Valley has had comfortable chairs in the rooms. I’ve always assumed it’s like McDonald’s where they design it that way intentionally to get you out quickly (it’s probably more that they buy furniture which looks good in photos, but they don’t spend the extra for the actual designer brand that is both attractive AND comfortable). At least in our “residence” there wasn’t anywhere comfy to sit down for an extended period, but hey, get out to the beach, right? Despite this, the mattresses were fabulous (as always at FS), great night’s sleep. Could definitely have used some more lighting throughout, but that’s true at nearly all hotels, and I’d recommend adding some instructions (never did find the button to close the shades in the living room), and they messed up several items in our grocery order (residence includes a kitchen), but these are minor quibbles. I’d definitely go b

You cannot go wrong with a Four Seasons Hotel- the level of service is impeccable. You pay a premium for it and this hotel was absolutely no exception. Perhaps the friendliest staff we have ever encountered. (a special shout out to Cindy at the adults pool- what a lovely time we had with her!) I wanted to give this property 5 stars as it truly is a wonderful property, but for the price, I had to take off a star. We decided to stay in a plunge pool room which was lovely- but these rooms were far from the hub of the hotel, which meant we had to rely on golf carts all day. And while the response on the app was quite quick there was times it wasnt and it was a bit frustrating (between the heat and hills of the property, much of the day it was out of the question to walk back and forth to our room) The property is very isolated- which is lovely but you're really stuck there. And since it's not a all inclusive, you're pay $$$$ for food and amenities all day. One thing that we found to be frustrating was that there was no quick grab food location. They had one in the morning till 11am but there needed to be a place to grab some food that don't require you sitting at a restaurant, pool or ordering in room. Fresh food like a sandwich, salad, etc would have been so lovely to have the option of. I know a small complaint but we found ourselves waiting long times for food service throughout the day. The spa left a lot to be desired. I got to the spa with plenty of time before my appt to use facilities but it was tiny, and very lacking. (Though the post spa food spread was lovely!) My spa treatment was fantastic (the volcanic scrub and massage) so no complaints. As for the room- it was huge and overall a wonderful stay. The bathroom could use some updating. Especially the toilet room- after staying at the Lanai property, and having the most magical bathroom experience, this was quite a let down. Felt like a 90s bathroom. The housekeeping was impeccable and so thorough. Overall we had a great time- but it's $$$$ from the food, to reserving a chair at the adult pool is $75 (and $750 for a cabana which is bananas.) But if you're looking for a wonderful property to relax and be pampered, this is a great option!

We have stayed at For Seasons Athens,Istanbul,New York,Milan,Budapest,Lisbon ,Seychelles and Dubai Regrettably I feel we have been taken for a ride whilst we pay top $$$ other groups staying at the property were paying much much lower price They made this property like a resort hotel for conventions and for families with young kids like a notch below Disney Hotels However the good points are second to none Service Quality,Good food and very comfortable rooms But seriously this is not a Four Season we are used to and my recommendation to regular Four Seasons clients is to avoid this property

Nice property but definitely dated. Needs a remodel soon. We came during a shoulder season, service was quite slow. Food quality is good as is pricing of food and drink. But overall experience wasn’t anywhere near the per night price point we paid. We have stayed at much nicer Four Seasons resort properties at this premium price point. Good for a one time trip but wouldn’t come back.

This resort was heaven on earth. The beauty, the service , the food , the spa , the fitness center and the overall cleanliness was immaculate. The only downside is that it is very expensive$$$$ However that being said you get what you pay for. The staff is so friendly. They go out of their way to make sure your stay there is everything you want it to be. Thank you Four Seasons for a wonderful experience !
