Gulf of Papagayo
Four Seasons Resort and North Guanacaste beaches

The Gulf of Papagayo is becoming one of Costa Rica’s primary beach and golf destinations. Your Costa Rica golf vacation will allow you to feel at home in the ultra-luxurious Four Season Resort or in one of the many all-inclusive four and five-star resorts including the Occidental Grand, the Allegro Papagayo and the Hilton. Papagayo is popular among beach and sun seekers.

Guests looking to play golf in Costa Rica will find that the hotels in Papagayo tend to be on the large side, isolated and ranging from the popular all-inclusive Allegro Papagayo to the luxury at the Four Seasons. Papagayo Bay offers calm water conditions as well as open ocean beaches with large waves, and the beaches have dark and white sand. The region is covered with dry tropical forest and mangrove vegetation, typical of Pacific Coast beaches.

There is virtually no town life near this region, and guests looking for dining options are required to stay in the resort or venture for a long drive out. Nevertheless, all the resorts feature a variety of restaurants and cuisine to keep all guests satisfied. The all inclusive resorts - Hilton and Occidental Grand - all feature excellent cuisine. The three restaurants at the Four Seasons rank among the best in Costa Rica.

Average stays in this region range from five to seven nights. The best Costa Rica golf course in Papagayo is the Arnold Palmer Signature course in Eco-desarrollo Papagayo, home to the Four Seasons Resort. This course is private and can only be enjoyed by resort guests. Golfers staying in other hotels in the region will have to travel to play at the different courses along the Guanacaste shores.

As a popular beach destination, many visitors opt to make this region their home base for visiting the country, arriving and departing from Liberia International Airport, located less than 30 minutes away.
