Papagayo Peninsula Papagayo Cr Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Compare & Share Hotels
Spilling down a coastal hillside to an isthmus of golden sand, Four Seasons creates an ambience of simple luxury in this pristine natural setting. With two unspoiled beaches, an indigenous spa, championship golf and the magic of the tropical dry forest.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says..."Take Four Seasons pampering (chilled lemon-scented towels delivered to your chaise at the pool), cross it with the charm of location (just north of the Nicoya Peninsula, the hotel is set on the coastal hills above the placid Gulf of Papagayo), and you'll have an idea of how this property distinguishes itself among the other luxury resorts in the region. Options abound: follow a naturalist guide on a bird-watching hike in one of the nearby national parks, sign up for an oxygenating sun repair facial at the lavish spa, spend the day at either of two resort beaches or three pools, or challenge yourself at the Arnold Palmer designed golf course. And at the end of the day, fall back into your spacious room or suite (there are 145), with its private veranda and deep marble soaking tub." -From Travel + Leisure
Conde Nast Traveler says..."The forest resort's exteriors emulate regional animals: Roofs are constructed from flat clay tiles to represent turtle shells, lizard skins, and fish scales. Suites resembling tree houses have contemporary furniture, local art, and handwoven rugs. Papagayo serves Continental cuisine, and its open-air seating overlooks the pool. Activities include zip-lining, volcano hiking, and horseback riding -"there's too much to do!" " -From Conde Nast Traveler

On this mystical island with its necklace of white-fringed coral islets, Four Seasons elevates the excitement to redefine South Seas escape. Exotic over-water suites, and beachfront villas with pools, immerse you in ultramodern comforts and the spirit of French Polynesia. Culinary art embraces operatic sunsets over the islands primeval peaks. Introduce your family to sea turtles. Kite-surf across the impossibly blue lagoon. Spirit yourselves away in a spa by the rolling Pacific surf. Surrender to the liberating service of a luxury resort unmatched on Bora Bora.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says... "Although overwater bungalows are the most luxurious lodgings at the Four Seasons, the hotel has 121 different rooms scattered along the beachside and lagoon of its motu (small private islet). Walls throughout are made of volcanic stone, roofs are palm-thatched, and interiors are decorated with teak and merbau-timber furnishings. All have extraordinary views over the turquoise-blue, coral-filled South Pacific, as well as the majestic black-rock peaks of Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia." -From www.travelandleisure.com
Conde Nast Traveler says... " When we stayed last October, the new Four Seasons was not yet sitting as comfortably in its surroundings as the Hotel Bora Bora (closed for renovations), or the neighbouring St Regis Resort, where Nicole Kidman had her honeymoon, but time should lend a few lines of character. Certainly, those who prefer to see the world though Four Seasons goggles will love it. French designer Pierre-Jean Picard has given the resort the feel of a golf-course, with golf-carts transporting guests to the 100 bungalows, all of which are exceptionally comfortable, with large beds, L'Occitane soaps, framed Tahitian artefacts and sliding wooden doors opening onto a horizon of palm trees. The two restaurants are good (it's hard to botch a tuna caught 50 metres away); the barman was nine years at the Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris; and the place is perfect for honeymooners (50 per cent of guests), anyone celebrating a wedding anniversary (20 per cent), or mid-30s professionals with children. But the pièce de résistance is the spa. When Rupert Brooke got sunburned on Tahiti he had to make do with a massage of coconut oil and vinegar. Here, Jennifer will give you a two-hour 'therapy treatment', involving a cactus brush, apricot kernels, peelings of black pearl, hot volcanic stones and frankincense and myrrh oils."

On the exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast of the big Island of Hawaii this magical,tropical oasis captures the essence of Hawaii golden age. It offers seclusion without isolation, complemented by an award winning sport club and spa and a private Jack Nicklaus signature golf course.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says..."“Perfect,a “heaven,a and “the best vacation of my lifea are just a few ways guests describe this understatedly gorgeous, isolated resort where all 228 rooms, in low-rise bungalows, have ocean views. It's popular with Hollywood celebrities for good reason: the five-star service is impeccable; the grounds border the dramatic volcanic rock coast with seawater and freshwater swimming pools; an open-air spa teems with tropical vegetation; and yoga, personal training, and a full menu of fitness classes are offered daily. The private 7,100-square-foot oceanfront Jack Nicklaus signature golf course is carved right into the underlying black lava, which serves as occasional bunkers." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."This resort of bungalow-style buildings has natural elements including outdoor showers made of lava rock, 800 coconut palms, and white-flowering plants. "Stylish rooms have a local flavor thanks to the use of bamboo, thatch, and slate, and all face the ocean. Restaurants include Pahu i'a (which means aquarium), serving contemporary Pacific cuisine. "Food was great but overpricedaalmost $30 for a club sandwich." Plant your toes in the sand and sip a cocktail at Beach Tree Bar. " -From Conde Nast Traveler
