Rich in national parks, the large but thinly populated Guanacaste province in northwest Costa Rica is known for its surfing and abundant wildlife, including more than 800 species of birds. Some 99 miles of beach line the country's Pacific shore. To the east stretches a mix of grassy savannahs, large cattle ranches, tropical dry forests, and a backdrop of volcanic mountain ranges. Within that sweep are cloud forests, active volcanoes, several national parks, wildlife refuges, coffee plantations, hot springs, and more.
This Four Seasons is strategically situated to explore the region, sprawling as it does across a narrow peninsula that juts into the Gulf of Papagayo. Handsomely constructed using lava, stone, and native woods, the resort is the centerpiece of a 2,300-acre master-planned community. Its 155 rooms and suites begin along the beach—one of two—and climb into the wooded hills. All afford ready access to a a broad selection of amenities—including three swimming pools, a spa and fitness center, watersports, an Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole golf course, five tennis courts (one of them grass), a children's program, a teen center, and a handful of restaurants and lounges.

In 2011, the resort focused attention on its tennis by adding a grass court to the four Har-Tru already in place. Peter Burwash International's 
David Hong currently oversees the operation. A USPTA-certified pro, Hong has logged more than 20 years on the teaching court and brings a diverse background to the task, having taught all over the world (he speaks English, German, Italian, Korean, and a bit of Spanish) and venues that range from summer junior camps to large private clubs and international hotels and resorts.
Tennis Programs. From Monday to Friday, the roster includes some sort of organized tennis clinic, with a different theme each day. There's also drop-in tennis event one day a week and a weekly Kids Carnival, the latter a module in the Kids for All Seasons program.
Courts & Fees. There are four Har-Tru (clay) courts and one natural grass court.
Golf Courses. Arnold Palmer designed the 18-hole Four Season Golf Club, a 6,800-yard, par 72 course laid out up and down the hills of the Papagayo Peninsula.
And ... Birdwatching, hiking, snorkeling, and sailing.
Kids for All Seasons offers complimentary supervised programs for kids age 4 to 12, while teens can look forward to their own teen center and concierge.
There are essentially three accommodation options: 600-square-foot hotel rooms with terraces in the four-story buildings behind the beach; canopy suites, ranging in size from one to three bedrooms and located in the wooded hills with views of the jungle canopy; and one-to-three-bedroom privately owned residential estates.
