"Perched above the Pacific in Tamarindo, this luxury beachfront resort features expansive multi‑bedroom villas like the Tamarindo Panoramic Five‑Bedroom Villa with infinity pool, extensive kids programming and family experiences such as scavenger hunts, quesadilla‑making classes, and communal breakfasts at Rancho Lola where guests can interact with farm animals and join tree‑planting activities, all within a secure nature‑reserve setting." - Kathryn Romeyn
"Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo’s stark and bold architecture, along with its low-density blueprint, sets it apart from the other resorts on this list." - Zachary Rabinor
"An oceanfront resort with a culinary commitment that includes a 34-acre organic farm and harvesting their own sea salt. Hyper-local housemade products such as bitters made with raicilla and foraged guamuchil fruit are used in their cocktails." - Nils Bernstein
"Located in Jalisco, Tamarindo offers seclusion with sweeping views of the Pacific and lush jungle. The resort includes a Discovery Center, infinity pools, and a farm supplying produce and tequila." - Michaela Trimble
"Set within a 3,000-acre protected nature reserve on Mexico’s Pacific coast, this secluded Four Seasons leaves 98 percent of the biodiverse jungle intact while offering guided hikes, biologist-led night safaris, and boat excursions along six miles of shoreline. The resort blends brutalist architecture using local marble and volcanic rock with traditional Mexican crafts in guest rooms (framed textiles, handwoven hammocks), and features suites with private infinity pools, tiered pools, a spa, a casual taquería, and a restaurant collaboration with chef Elena Reygadas." - Jennifer Flowers
