Costa Rica’s natural beauty, dedication to sustainability, and rich biodiversity have made it a top destination for travelers worldwide. Known for its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and diverse ecosystems, the country attracts nature enthusiasts and adventure-seekers alike.

Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica announces the appointment of Mark Ley as Director of Marketing. In his role, Mark will lead the sales and marketing division as the property undergoes lifestyle renovations and repositioning as the most elite coastal destination in Latin America.
Since the nature-inspired resort opened in 2014, guests have flocked to El Mangroove to explore the unparalleled natural beauty of the Gulf of Papagayo. That's if they could book a spot at the all-suite property. Now, after a thoughtful, six-month renovation, the retreat is even more welcoming. Thirty-six new suites have been added to the property, which rests on 17 acres of beachfront forest, surrounded by mangroves. While they increase the capacity of El Mangroove by a third, the new suites blend seamlessly into the environment, as the entire resort was designed around the existing Guanacaste and Guacimo trees.
Autograph Collection Hotels, Marriott International's growing collection of strikingly independent hotels, is celebrating further expansion across the Caribbean and Latin America, and the brand's second hotel in Costa Rica, with the addition of El Mangroove.
