This home is part of Las Terrazas, a condominium complex within the Peninsula Papagayo community. Newly renovated with modern ammenities, it was clean and comfortable, and stocked with basic essentials. The host was easy to communicate with and immediately put us in touch with Hazel, our concierge. She was helpful in coordinating dinner reservations, airport transfers, COVID testing, the daily cleaning service and ideas for excursions.
The small condominium pool featured in the photos was accessible at all hours but most guests will likely prefer the Prieta Beach Club, managed by the Four Seasons. For an additional fee ($50/person/day), the beach club provided the resort experience that we expected.
Hazel was also able to secure day passes at the Four Seasons Resort itself ($50/person/day), a fun alternative to the Prieta Beach Club. As Four Seasons loyalists, the beach club was our preferred experience.
There are many restaurants within Peninsula Papagayo, all within a short drive, and each uniquely wonderful. Our favorites were at the Four Seasons Resort and the Prieta Beach Club. Grocery purchases for the week can be coordinated prior to arrival, however we stopped to shop on our way to the condo.
A few things worth knowing prior to arrival: Peninsula Papagayo is vast and use of a golf cart or rental car is essential. The condo is not a Four Seasons Residence, rather a home within the community of Peninsula Papagayo. There aren't any nearby stores or restaurants that offer "to-go"' options which is why the grocery service or offsite grocery shopping is helpful.
Costa Rica is a beautiful country and we had a great trip. This property provided a relaxing retreat after exploring the greater Guanacaste area or spending the day relaxing by the pool. I would recommend this property to friends and family looking for an alternative to a traditional hotel in this area.
