Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, Mexico

We had an incredible stay at the hotel - the people, the property, the experience were all world class - amazing attention to detail. Food at Sal was just fantastic! Thank you Francisco (Pacho) for being an outstanding host (cart, doctor for my wife etc.). Shower pressure was variable, but now I'm nitpicking! I would NOT recommend booking diving through the hotel, poor experience and way over-priced. Everything else was essentially perfect!

We stayed 8 nights in a Cliffside Suite. The room was gorgeous with amazing ocean views. The room was perfect for our family of 4 with 2 children. The kids slept on sofa bed which was very comfortable. The pool in the room was heated and we made good use of it. The property if very remote, once you are here, you are here for the duration of your stay. We stayed for 8 nights and that was too long for us. This is a place that you come to relax and unwind. Each day we did one of the activity on the schedule that lasted for 1 hr and the remainder of the day was left to sit by pool or beach. Pros: -beautiful brand new property -friendly staff -large rooms with amazing views -pool staff were great, attentive -great housekeeping Cons: -not enough food options (we eat mainly vegetarian so really struggled to eat here, food was very repetitive, we did not look forward to meals much at all)-the few vegetarian options were good but we felt like we were eating the same few dishes every night to 8 days straight -kids portions are tiny, needed to order 2 for each of our 8yr old children to be satisfied, the food on main menu was not very kids friendly -no store for amenities on site, we just assumed that we would be able to replenish our incidentals on property but that was not an option -unfortunately we do not speak Spanish, English was a challenge for some on staff which lead to some confusion at meals -for a longer 8 night stay we wished there was more to do since off property excursions were not an option This is a beautiful property and that needs some time to reach its full potential.

We went to the Four Seasons Tamarindo to celebrate both my birthday and our wedding anniversary. The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel special! Our cliffside room was spectacular, and the staff had decorated it with happy birthday balloons, plus a birthday sign, card and dessert. On our wedding anniversary, we were treated to a complimentary dessert and drinks. The cliffside room is absolutely phenomenal with a private heated lap pool, and both Valentino and Samantha from the front desk provided exceptional service. Sure, this property opened just a few years ago, so there are some kinks to be worked out (for example, some of the staff seemed uncertain or didn't quite understand, and the phone reception in the rooms isn't very good), but these are just minor complaints because the place is stunning and most of the staff is doing very well to meet guests' needs and requests. They have a large menu of complimentary activities, and we highly recommend the reserve tour. You'll get to see lots of gorgeous spots with photo opportunities, local flora + fauna, and the tour guide is great (I think his name is Uriel?). The food was great -- we highly recommend Nachos restaurant for tasty tacos, salsa, guacamole, horchata. And we did the a la carte breakfast at Coyul, and really enjoyed the chilaquiles, as well as the egg breakfast, which comes with delicious toast + jam/honey. We stayed for four nights, and we'd love to go back someday!

This is one of the most beautiful resorts i have ever stayed at. We stayed in their cliff side suite and it was incredible. The staff was amazing and extremely helpful and friendly. It is a new resort and they are still working out the kinks, but i think the staffs willingness to take care of you and make sure your happy makes up for any hiccups you might encounter as they are learning how to be a 5 star resort. The golf course is beautiful and challenging with some amazing views. We started calling the drink cart guy Mr Jeeves, because every time we would start talking about how we are getting thirsty, he would magically appear. Traveling to and from the resort is a journey, but well worth it when you get there.

The entire experience was top notch! All of the food was amazing, even the simplest food like the hamburger (it was one of the best I've had) The hotel rooms were spotless and incredible. Golf course was immaculate and stunning. The staff was so attentive, friendly and professional. I can't say enough about this resort. If you're wondering if it is worth the travel, let me assure you that YES IT IS! Don't hesitate to go here, you will NOT regret it!

Amazing location, nature, culture, architecture, attention to detail, golf course, spa, and most wonderful and helpful team. Congratulations to the management for the great leadership

Really great newer Four Seasons in a less developed area in Mexico. Similar to Four Seasons in Costa Rica, hillside beautiful resort, 2 beaches, several gorgeous pools, many rooms are up on the hillsides nice walk down easy to get golf carts to go up/down all the time. Plunge pool suites up the hill are fantastic great views (took a few requests to have them heat the pool warmer but was worth it). Food was superb everywhere, even taco bar is elevated and 'foodie,' amazing breakfast buffet so so good, one of the best of Four Seasons/5 star resorts buffets and we've been to many. Good idea to reserve for dinner as they can get slammed as everyone wants to sit down for sunset and can be a little slow service then but still lovely. Service and friendliness was superb, as you would expect from Four Seasons Room service could be slow, but not end of the world Chat concierge on phone/ipad very useful and responsive Spa is stunning, elegant, natural materials, serene, new and fresh, very high quality treatments. Beach with rooms on it is the not beach with lounge chairs/bar service (which is nice) beach sand a bit course - beaches themselves not quite as nice as beach at Costa Rica Four Seasons. Several pools beautiful pools family/adult. No problem getting chaise. Tamarindo is very remote, 50 min from Manzanillo airport. No towns to speak of to explore. Resort is hundreds of acres, many paths. Very dry in March, not lush. Excellent stay. Not too crowded even in Spring Break perhaps because not a lot of direct flights to Manzanillo and this resort hasn't been discovered as much yet. Tips included everywhere, don't have to add when sign etc.

Loved this resort! We spent a long day traveling from New York but it was worth it to be in such natural beauty. Design is impeccable down to every last detail. Views are breathtaking. Service is kind and attentive. Loved Nacho and Sol restaurants. If I could suggest anything I would add a hotel store to buy toiletries and more sunscreen. Otherwise, fabulous!
