Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica today kicked off a year of celebration in honour of the Resort’s first 10 years ofpura vida in the paradise that is northwest Costa Rica and the exclusive Peninsula Papagayo. The Resort was designed by renowned Central American architect Ronald Zurcher more than a decade ago on an untouched area of the Peninsula Papagayo and has been maintained in a way that has helped preserve and nurture local flora and fauna.
