PUERTO RICO | Four Seasons has opened its long-awaited property in the heart of Puerto Rico, surrounded by a sprawling natural landscape.
Set within and surrounded by three nature reserves along two miles (3.2 kilometres) of pristine, palm tree-lined beach, the newly refurbished Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico is now open with an enhanced program of experiences that connect guests with the natural beauty and culture of the island.
"In Puerto Rico, we've truly found an exceptional setting, surrounded by vast natural beauty and conveniently located for travellers eager to explore the best of the island with Four Seasons," noted Rainer Stampfer, Four Seasons President, Global Operations, Hotels and Resorts.
"Together with our visionary owner-partners at Paulson Puerto Rico, we are proud to present the newest jewel in our collection of Four Seasons resorts across the Caribbean and where our signature service and unparalleled experiences will define every stay."
Already a favourite destination for sunseekers, the resort now showcases comprehensive enhancements and refurbishments, including a redesign of all guest rooms and suites, and refreshed interiors at Casa Grande, the inviting arrival space with an oceanfront terrace, and the Lobby Lounge by award-winning design firm Meyer Davis. A light, airy palette has been introduced, bringing new warmth and texture to every space, and connecting guests to the beauty and diversity of the landscapes surrounding each building. The resort also debuts new culinary concepts, an expanded racquet centre, and a host of new experiences focused on natural discovery and cultural exploration.
"Our goal is to create something that goes beyond a typical luxury resort to an experience that truly reflects the spirit of Puerto Rico: it's warmth, stories, flavours, history and culture," noted General Manager Pablo Molinari, who leads a team of more than 400 dedicated staff, including many who now look forward to reconnecting with guests in new ways as part of the Four Seasons team.
"Our hope is for guests to enjoy every moment on this beautiful island, and to leave with wonderful memories of its people and places."
The sprawling resort, located a half hour from the airport in San Juan, is set within its own 483 acre (195 hectare) private nature reserve and surrounded by two protected sanctuaries. Guests are invited to explore more than seven miles (11 kilometres) of hiking trails, bike paths and waterways, on their own or in the company of expert guides who will introduce the island's unique flora and fauna, including more than 50 species of birds, plus the leatherback sea turtles that nest here each spring and summer. The resort's commitment to conservation and sustainability includes community education initiatives, an on-site animal sanctuary, and a pet shelter, inviting guests of all ages to support local conservation efforts.
