Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo stretches down a jungle-clad Costa Rica hillside past three pools, a spa, and an Arnold Palmer–designed golf course to end in two pristine beaches. The decor of its 153 rooms honors the beauty of jungle, ocean, beach, and sun with indigenous woods, stone finishes, and a full complement of Four Seasons amenities.
Groups conducting business in the Guanacaste Ballroom, or three smaller meeting rooms, often follow up on the terraces outside, on the beach, or on the driving range. Attendees enjoy a full range of resort activities including tennis, surfing, snorkeling, and fitness, salsa dancing, and Latin cuisine–making classes. Meeting planners may also arrange for river floats, unforgettable wildlife-watching tours, and shuttles to Playas del Coco for casual dining, shopping, and casinos.

We hosted an incentive here in June 2013 and it was rated by our guests as the "best surprise ever". After operating many programs in Hawaii the repeat winners were not initially enthusiastic about Costa Rica. Their minds were changed the minute they arrived at Four Seasons Peninsula Papagayo. The property is stunning, the rooms are gorgeous and the staff is the very best anywhere. You just cannot plan for the greatness that is experienced here, from the monkeys right outside your reg desk to the amazing GM who is present all day every day making sure his guests are happy. Everyone on staff is friendly and their commitment to perfection is unrivaled.
The only reason I wasn't able to rate it a 5 out of 5 is that if you have a very large group that requires the use of their residence product there could be some difficulty in setting expectations. The residences are extraordinary and beautiful, but one room of three will not be quite as spacious as the others or may have a lesser view. HOWEVER, every room is immaculate with a beautiful view, but some are just over the top and as a residence shares some common outdoor space. If you don't need the residences to fill your block it would be a non issue and if you have a group where you know the winners or teams who could "share" it would be an amazing upgrade.
I cannot say enough good things about this property and the program we hosted. Hands down the best ever and I would take another group back at any opportunity.

I have booked many meetings around the globe, but this resort by far exceeded each and every expectation of mine. The grounds are simply incredible. This resort has one of the top golf courses in the world and flora and fauna that will simply take your breath away. The associates at the resort were incredibly polite and went out of their way for our group. They simply did anything that was necessary to ensure that our incentive trip was successful. This Four Seasons Resort is one of the best in the entire chain! I would definately take another group here without any question!
