DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT
Even while on vacation, it can be hard

rely upon. But Four Seasons Resort
Costa Rica offers a digital detox program –
Disconnect to Reconnect – that gives you
the incentive to really unplug. With this
complimentary program, you can turn
in your mobile phone to be kept in a safe
deposit box, then returned to you after
24 hours or more. You will be offered a list
of 24 technology-free activities, including
a morning kayak adventure, tennis on our
real grass court, bird watching and more.
You’ll receive brand-new custom iPhone
cover as a reward!

SPECIAL INITIATIVESVOLUNTEER DURING YOUR VISITSince 2001, Peninsula Papagayo –
the ownership group of Four Seasons
Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo –
has managed an award-winning social
responsibility outreach program called
Creciendo Juntos (Growing Together).
The program gives Four Seasons guests
rewarding volunteer opportunities
within the local community, creating
a more meaningful travel experience.
Whether you’re coming to Four Seasons
for a family trip or a corporate team-
building effort, we can custom-design a
volunteer experience based on your goals,
donation budget and amount of time
available. You have the opportunity to
get involved in supporting local schools,
conserving the environment, or adopting
a family or a child during your stay.
Volunteer experiences can include reading
to local school children, painting a school,
or even bringing a backpack from home filled
with school supplies. If you or your family
chooses to adopt a family, we hope the bond
will carry on long after you leave the Resort.
Please ask our concierge team for more
information about volunteering opportunities.

HABITAT PRESERVATION INITIATIVEHelp us preserve the flora and fauna
of Peninsula Papagayo by not feeding
the local wildlife. These are generally
shy animals who feed on the fruit trees
surrounding our property. When fed by
humans, it alters their natural feeding
behaviour. They become dependent
on people, and can become bold and
aggressive. Please help us keep them
shy and wild!
