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.
