Tucked away on a secluded stretch of Mexico’s Pacific coast, the Four Seasons Tamarindo isn’t just another luxury resort; it’s a hidden oasis where unspoiled landscapes, spectacular dining, and unique experiences converge to create a one-of-a-kind escape. This isn’t a resort that everyone’s talking about yet, but after experiencing it firsthand, it’s hard to imagine that it will remain a secret for long.
A Haven of Privacy with Breathtaking Views
From the moment we entered our room, the views were jaw-dropping. Set within a vast private nature reserve, the property offers ocean, jungle, and cliffside panoramas in almost every direction. Every day, we felt like we had our own personal retreat, with plenty of space to unwind in complete seclusion. Whether lounging on the terrace or watching the sun dip below the horizon from our private plunge pool, the sense of privacy was unmatched.
Flavors of Tamarindo: Nacho Taqueria & Beyond
While Four Seasons Tamarindo boasts several dining options, Nacho Taqueria was our favorite. We ate there daily, each time trying something new from their imaginative yet authentic menu. The tacos de langosta (lobster) and molleja (sweetbreads) were unforgettable, balancing traditional flavors with a creative flair. With such popularity, Nacho Taqueria is expanding its seating and hours, a testament to the quality of both the food and the relaxed atmosphere.
The best part? The meals were remarkably affordable—especially for a Four Seasons property. It’s a refreshing discovery in luxury travel: a dining experience that’s as accessible as it is extraordinary.
A World of Activities: Explore, Discover, and Connect
Four Seasons Tamarindo isn’t just a place to unwind; it’s a destination designed for discovery. We took a deep dive into regional culture with a workshop on fermented drinks—a fantastic way to connect with local traditions—and also tried out birdwatching, spotting several rare species in the lush environment. Other guests raved about the stargazing sessions and the property’s eco-tours through their sprawling nature reserve, adding a deeper connection to the surroundings.
Wellness and Adventure Options for Every Pace
Fitness enthusiasts will find everything they need here. The fitness center is spacious and well-equipped with Pilates apparatus, weights, and Peloton bikes. For those who prefer the outdoors, the resort’s activities range from stand-up paddleboarding to kayaking along the beautiful coastline. Golfers are in for a treat as well—the course here is nothing short of stunning, cutting through the natural terrain of the property’s private reserve and offering awe-inspiring views along the way.
Easily Accessible Yet Wonderfully Remote
One of the best parts? Getting there is easier than expected for such an exclusive location. With direct flights from LAX to Manzanillo (just 2.5 hours), followed by a short 45-minute transfer to the resort, it’s an escape that feels worlds away but is comfortably close. More direct flights from hubs like Atlanta will soon make it even more accessible.
Service That Sets a New Standard
Every aspect of our stay was elevated by the impeccable service. The Four Seasons Tamarindo team goes above and beyond to ensure that every detail is perfect, from personalized greetings to attentive, friendly staff at each activity and dining spot. You’ll leave with not only memories of this incredible place but also an appreciation for the thoughtful, genuine hospitality that makes every stay special.
Four Seasons Tamarindo is Mexico’s hidden paradise, a unique experience for those looking to explore beyond the well-known luxury destinations. For those in search of privacy, luxury, and adventure, this is a must-visit destination. It is a resort I will return to again and again, and that is saying something!
