Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, Mexico

This was a fantastic travel experience from start to finish. The resort is pristine, the flora and fauna are breathtaking and the staff are exceptional. A special mention to America, Ana, Jennifer, Melissa & Chef Aaron (Sal restaurant) Raul, Daniela & David (Coyul restaurant) Olga (poolside service) You all exceeded expectations and provided warm, genuine service. Bravo!! Josh, Miguel, Juan and Robert provided great tours of the reserve/property too. We loved the place and wouldn't hesitate to return. Muchas-Gracias!!

By far the best vacation that we've ever had! We loved every moment of our two-week stay in the cliffside suite with the infinity pool. The rooms are spacious, modern, and equipped with world-class amenities. If you love a remote, secluded place with pristine nature, quiet coastline, night sky filled with stars then you won't be disappointed by any means with the Tamarindo Four Seasons. The views from the pool to the cliffs and ocean are breathtaking! A truly unique location! The food is superb, be it a breakfast buffet, one of two restaurants or a taco bistro. All products are grown locally on site or brought from nearby farms! A special thank you to chef Mario Castro, whose talent cannot be ignored. One evening we asked for Surf and Turf, which was not on the menu, and we got the best Surf and Turf ever! In the evenings, two restaurants are at your disposal with their daily specials. Again, everything, including desserts, was impeccable. It makes it difficult to highlight some individual dishes. There are many activities offered daily, many of which are complimentary. Without much enthusiasm, we decided to try a few and were pleasantly surprised! It was fun and educational. Birdwatching with Oveth was so cool that we actually did it twice. A biologist, he is very knowledgeable about birds and other species in the reserve territory. It was great seeing rare endemic birds in their natural habitat. A special thank you to Jerry for the Guac workshop and Mezcal testing class! Thank you to Armando for the coffee workshop and making the best coffee! Thank you to Leo for the wine testing class! Thank you to Alex, Erik, and Carla from Sal restaurant. Thank you to Brandon from the pool/ Majahua! Thank you to Raoul, the manager of the Coyul restaurant! Thank you to Osvaldo, a Coyul bartender, whose cocktails we highly rated. Of course, as usual, there is always room for improvement and I would like to note a few things. Although this did not mar the overall impression, when we asked for room service the cocktails were inconsistent and differed greatly in taste. There was also some miscommunication about the timing for room cleaning I am sure these minor things will improve over time, It's an easy fix. Thanks to the entire Tamarindo Team. You are the ones who create the atmosphere and make the place special. Every one of you was polite and friendly. We felt welcomed. We truly appreciate your hard work and can't wait to return.

I don’t write too many reviews, but we just spent a week at Four Seasons Tamarindo and it warranted a write up as we hadn’t heard much about this new property and it is now one of our favorites! It is best for a warm, relaxing, luxury beach vacation – for couples or family. We love Mexico overall and now prefer the west coast without all of the unsightly seaweed issues between Cancun and Tulum on the east side. Tamarindo is an almost brand-new gorgeous property with stunning new rooms/views and great amenities. The plunge pools at the cliff rooms are spectacular. However, the biggest thing that made the week so special was the exceptional service. For a property that has only been open for about a year and a half, they have it dialed in nicely to the FS standard. If you like the One & Only Mandarina north of Punta Mita (another favorite), you will love this resort. Like Mandarina, the property is huge – the lone resort on a 3,000 acre reserve. Thus, the beaches are super private, and you feel a ‘world away from it all.’ And, like O&O, if you opt for the cliff rooms, you will often call for golf carts to take you around as the uphill walk can be more than you want after a day of relaxing by the pool. We found them to be even more responsive here, generally arriving in a few minutes after you call. The rooms are modern, sleek, and comfortable – most with plunge pools and some with outdoor showers. All of the architecture and design is beautiful and everything is new and clean. We opted for a cliffside villa – preferring a dramatic view and huge plunge pool – but people with whom we spoke raved about the rooms on the beach as well and the ability to walk right out to the ocean. You almost feel like you are in a movie when brushing your teeth and seeing the dramatic beach reflection in the mirror (with the rock formations coming out of the water)! The food across the three restaurants is quite good. We enjoyed the view at Sal (by the ocean), but preferred the menu and overall experience at Coyul (the only non-Mexico city outpost of Michelin Star Chef Elena Reygadas). The Coyul breakfast buffet is over-the-top – don’t miss the rosemary pastries… We did the Taco Tasting at the casual lunch place, Nacho, and Leo made the whole thing really fun. And, while we don’t usually order room service, the Tamarindo room service menu is extensive and dining on the patio for one dinner and one breakfast was special. Note: prices here were at least 35% to 40% less for drinks and dining than other luxury Mexico resorts, which was a pleasant surprise (and prices are still listed in pesos – not US $$s – unlike so many menus in Cabo and elsewhere). This resort offers more of a chill, relaxing vacation, but there was plenty to do: • Spa is new and nice – like most FS, not cheap but very professional and pampering. Great spaces to relax before and after treatments and you can use the spa even if not doing treatments, which I appreciate. They have a nice sauna,

Had a wonderful experience at the relatively new Four Seasons Tamarindo in southern Jalisco near Colima on the Costalegre. One of the most beautiful settings - hotel and region. Highly recommend a getaway here!

We stayed at the FS Tamarindo from 8/10 - 8/15. It was incredible! Service was amazing, food was very good, and the physical resort was flawless. Very beautiful and private. We were there during the hottest and wettest time of year and it was still perfect. I recommend spending the extra money for an ocean view as view is stunning and you see the sunset every night. Golf course is awesome too. Do yourself a favor and visit this resort.

The Four Seasons Tamarindo is an architectural marvel in a 3000 acre nature reserve. We traveled during off season, when it was hot and humid, and loved it. The hotel was not full. Restaurants were superb and varied. Three main pools allowed 20 somethings privacy, while 7 twelve and unders cavorted in the giant kids' pool. The beach was hit by a summer squall and swim shoes helped us get into the really warm water, but it was good to mix up beach and pool. Boariing, golf, and next year, tennis, Padel, and Pickle ball are all available. The pilates, workout rooms are beautifuilly outfitted and the spa has all you could ask of any first class resort.
