PB hotel design editorial

Curved rooflines sheathed in layered timber battens sweep low over open-air colonnades at Peninsula Papagayo, a gesture that anchors the Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica firmly within the dry tropical forest rather than imposing upon it. The architecture, developed through a collaboration that engaged local vernacular sensibilities alongside international resort planning expertise, works in volcanic fieldstone, dark hardwoods, and woven reed ceilings — materials pulled directly from the Guanacaste landscape rather than imported for effect. Arrival pavilions extend along covered walkways with bamboo-mat canopies supported on exposed steel frames, the whole composition orienting itself toward Pacific water views that reveal themselves gradually as guests move through the property's terraced topography. Inside the 181 guestrooms and villas, dark-stained louvered shutters and deep-toned hardwood flooring establish a colonial tropical register, while rattan hanging chairs, woven textile headboards, and chevron-patterned media consoles bring the palette toward something more contemporary. The free-form pool, edged in green mosaic tile and framed by mature guanacaste trees and stacked stone retaining walls, sits close enough to the water that the boundary between resort and coastline softens convincingly. The rum bar — its counter base fashioned from bundled driftwood branches, aged barrels stacked above ribbed timber shelving — demonstrates how thoroughly the design team committed to celebrating regional material culture rather than defaulting to the generic luxury idiom that flattens so many comparable properties.

"Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo, our experience at this hotel was simply incredible. It truly felt like a first-class vacation. Everyone at the resort was kind, attentive, and always willing to help, making us feel welcome at all times. We stayed in a villa with a spectacular view, waking up to that scenery every morning was unforgettable. The room was spotless, very comfortable, and had all the details you would expect from a luxury resort. The food was also excellent, with a great variety and high quality. During our stay, we coordinated our airport transfers and tours with Gabriel from Nomadtourscr, and it was the best decision. Everything was perfectly organized, always on time, with friendly and professional service. The rainforest tour was an amazing experience full of nature, and the Volcano Hike was beautiful and totally worth it. We also enjoyed a boat tour around the peninsula with snorkeling, which was a lot of fun. Overall, everything was top-notch. We felt at home the entire time and truly appreciated the excellent service. Highly recommended! We would definitely come back."

"Four seasons always provides a consistent luxurious experience and this place does not disappoint. The beautiful location in the Papagayo peninsula and the access to two beaches truly makes this place unique. We loved being able to observe baby turtles and hermit crabs at night and then go out for jet ski and boat trips to see dolphins and rays. The pools are huge and very well laid out where it doesn't feel crowded. The staff is also attentive and the service is absolutely stellar. We really enjoyed the food from the the different restaurants including the Italian and Mediterranean menus along with an expansive breakfast menu. We also took part in their Easter celebrations and the kid center staff really did a great job keeping the kids engaged and excited. There were tons of fun activities and although we had only a few days stay, I can certainly see myself coming back and just taking more time to relax and enjoy."

"Our extended family spent 10 days in the Casa Ballena residence at Four Seasons Papagayo and it was the BEST tropical vacation we all have ever had anywhere in the world! The service was spectacular and so detailed. Everyone on staff truly extended the spirit of Pura Vida in every aspect of their work. Breakfast buffet was extraordinary with a mix of local dishes and every traditional item (even special requests!). Concierge recommended and arranged several fun excursions. Top fav was rappelling down into a valley of a private farm to swim in waterfalls and then enjoy a gourmet lunch made by the owner of the farm on the banks of the river. Also don’t miss a day on the catamaran touring beaches only accessible by boat. And seeing Palo Verde National Park. Lots of kid friendly activities on the resort, too! The view of sunrise and sunset from the pair of gorgeous private beaches is unrivaled. You’ll never forget this visit!"

"The resort is beautiful. Service outstanding! There are 2 smaller 4 flour hotel hotel towers and then on either side is a beach . Very good acccess . Two pools and then another pool overlooking ocean . Lots of options for food which was amazing at every restaurant! Again 5 stars all the way from service to taste ,presentation everything.. It was spring break and lots of family with kids , so if your looking for peace and quiet - this is not the time as the “kid” noise of them yelling -excitement , crying etc is from early morning to late night . However it’s over all fabulous.. And the beach is super close and water is wonderful."
