Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas Review

The Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is a true gem in the Baja California Sur region of Mexico. Upon driving into the Costa Palmas development and driving up the driveway to the resort, we knew we were in for a luxurious and memorable stay.

The resort is located on the stunning East Cape of the Baja Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. The Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas’ location offers stunning views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. The resort's architecture is modern and sleek, with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic that blends perfectly with the natural beauty of the area.

The resort is about a 90 minute drive from the Los Cabos International Airport.

As soon as we pulled up to the pick-up and drop-off area, we were greeted by their friendly staff who offered us a refreshing welcome drink and a warm introduction. The check-in process was quick and efficient, and we were soon escorted to our suite.

Our Room

During our stay at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas we stayed in one of the Executive Ocean View Suites with Plunge Pools. The suite itself is simply stunning. The suite is an open layout with a combined bedroom and living room.

The spacious living area is elegantly furnished with comfortable seating and beautiful artwork. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offer incredible views of the ocean and flood the room with natural light. There's also a dining area with a small table which is perfect for enjoying meals in the privacy of your own suite which we did take advantage of this our first evening at the resort after a long travel day.

The bedroom is equally impressive, with a king-sized bed that's incredibly comfortable and that plush Four Seasons bedding we’ve come to love that feels like you're sleeping on a cloud. The room also has its own balcony, which is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the ocean or you can simply open the blinds and enjoy the sunrise from bed.

The bathroom is a work of art in itself, with marble floors and walls, a deep soaking tub, and a spacious shower. There are also double sinks and plenty of storage space for your toiletries.

And one of the standout features of the executive ocean view suite is the private infinity pool. The pool is situated on the balcony and is the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. The pool is heated, so even if the weather isn't quite warm enough, you can still take a dip.

Our Room

Four Seasons Resort Nevis got a facelift as all of the rooms and suites were recently renovated. The renovation began in 2018 and was completed in 2019.

During out recent trip, we stayed in an Indigo Suite in building 8. The Indigo Suites are the same as the Poinciana Suites. The only difference being the Indigo Suites are on the ground floor and the Poinciana Suites are on the upper floor.

The Indigo Suites are true one bedroom suites with a door that separates the bedroom from the living room. The living room featured a dining table for 4, a large sofa, mini-bar and TV.

The decor of the rooms features rattan and mahogany furnishings accented by a bright tropical theme in soft shades of beige, yellow and pink.

The bedroom featured a King size bed, large sofa, and TV. Both the bedroom and living room have access to and outdoor deck.

All accommodations at Four Seasons Resort Nevis have a hair dryer, down pillows, hypoallergenic pillows on request, luxurious bathrobes and slippers, choice of mattress-topper firmness (for rooms and suites only), baby and children's toiletries, cribs and/or rollaway bed(s) at no extra charge (subject to maximum occupancy).

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts are known for luxurious accommodations, top-notch service, excellent culinary experiences and plenty of amenities/activities and that is just what we received at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

Connected to the bedroom is a beautiful marble five-fixture bathroom with dual vanity, large soaking tub and walk in shower.

Four Seasons Resort Nevis features L ‘Occtaine toiletries which smell fantastic and feel great on the skin.

If you’re a couple looking to splurge we’d recommend staying in one of the Studios that has its own pool. And if you’re a family we’d recommend one of the villas with their own kitchen.

Amenities

Soca Pool

While beach vacations look different to everyone, the Four Seasons Resort Nevis is here to accommodate everyone.

The resort features 3 pools, an adults-only pool, Soca, an oceanfront pool, Calypso and the brand new signature main pool, Limin. All of the pools are fully staffed where you can order food and drinks right to your chair.

Calypso Pool

And if you’re looking to make a whole day of soaking up the sun, the resort has both pool and beach cabanas.

Limin Pool

And if you’re looking for something other than time at the pool, Four Seasons Resort Nevis offers plenty of activities. The resort has an 18-hole golf course, foot golf, tennis courts, gift shop & boutique, water-activities desk, fitness center, spa, and more.

While we didn’t have any spa treatments, we went to the spa to check it out and see what the facilities were like. The locker rooms and spa facilities are nice, but they do need a little updating. And according to management they had plans to update the spa as part of the recent enhancements to the resort, but that renovation been postponed due to COVID and supply chain issues.

If you’re looking to get a workout so you can enjoy a few guilt free cocktails by the pool, the fitness center has plenty of equipment. The fitness center featured treadmills, a stationary bike, ellipticals, spin bikes, a rower, free weights, and strength machines.

And if you prefer to workout outside, the resort has plenty of paths for a walk or jog and plenty of places for some morning yoga.

Dining

There are plenty of great local restaurants to explore in Nevis including Banana’s, Yatchman’s, Turtle Time, and Sunshines but there are also four great restaurants at the resort. Everyone told us we had to visit Sunshines for the Killer Bee cocktail, a secret rum punch. But take it from our experience if you have more than 2 or 3, you’re going to get stung!

EsQuilina is Four Seasons Resort Nevis’s main restaurant that is open for breakfast and dinner. This is where the Four Seasons Preferred Partner breakfast is served. EsQuilina serves mediterranean cuisine and is a dining concept that features seasonal favourites with daily surprise elements.

Breakfast is served via a la carte or breakfast buffet. The breakfast buffet features a hot food station with scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes and meats, an omelet station, a pancake, waffle and oatmeal station, a charcuterie station, a juice, fruit and yogurt station, and a bakery station with breads and pastries.

We opted to get the buffet for breakfast and it was excellent. Four Seasons does breakfast very well.

Since it’s nice to have a relaxing and calm morning we also chose to order in-room dining several mornings for breakfast. We placed our order via the Four Seasons app and in 30 minutes our breakfast had arrived. And if you’ve ever ordered room service before, it can sometimes be a disappointment.

Not only did our food arrive on-time, it was hot, the orders were correct, and nothing was left behind.

We also enjoyed in-room dining our first night at the resort since we arrived later in the day. If you want to have a treat yo self meal, order the chicken, steak or lobster mac & cheese.

Since occupancy was pretty low at the resort, they aren’t operating all four restaurants everyday. The restaurant hours for dinner especially vary by day. You can ask the front desk for hours of operation.

One of the other nights for dinner we ate at Mango (Caribbean Cuisine) for bbq night. Mango sits right next to the ocean and offers views of nearby St. Kitts.

Bbq night was a condensed menu that featured your choice of bbq ribs, bbq chicken, fried chicken, grilled lobster, grilled red snapper, or bbq catch of the day which are all served with coleslaw, rice and peas, and macaroni pie.

On The Dune is the newest restaurant at Four Seasons Resort Nevis and is an upscale beachside restaurant serving up Caribbean and American classics. We didn’t get to eat here due to limited hours but the menu looks excellent.

And the last food and beverage outlet we’re going to highlight is Crowned Monkey Rum Bar. Crowned Monkey Rum bar sits in the lobby right next to the entrance to EsQuilina. Boasting the finest rum and spirits from all around the world, grab a pre-dinner cocktail, late night happy hour or whatever your sophisticated self desires.

Service

Four Seasons is a leader in luxury hospitality and part of the reason for that is the level of service their properties around the world provide.

One of our favorite things about stay at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is their app. You can manage your stay, request housekeeping, order in-room dining, view restaurant menus, message the property and more right from the palm of your hand.

The staff at Four Seasons Resort Nevis made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Even the housekeeper stopped by each day to see if there was anything special we needed.

The entire staff was very attentive and truly made an effort to get to know us during our stay.

Overall Impression

The Four Seasons Resort Nevis is a must visit property. If you’re looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation, then this is the place to visit.

With sweeping views of the ocean, neighboring island of St. Kitts and the mountain on Nevis you will be in awe while at Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

This five-star luxury resort is the perfect destination for a family getaway, couples getaway, honeymoon, or a friends trip.

The entire experience from beginning to end was nothing short of perfect.
