My wife and I honeymooned here (
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/4502096-post12.html ) when it was SPG Luxury Collection. Can't wait for it to reopen as a Four Seasons. They don't appear ready for bookings although hotel is slated to open late 2021. Anyone have any up to date opening information?
I do miss that, but I am excited about the Four Seasons taking ownership after many (~15) years of will they or won't they. A simple Google search for "Tamarindo Yellowstone Blixeth" will provide the update. Was effectively a time share for the ultra wealthy after the Luxury Collection affiliation that never really got off the ground due to the Great Recession and a divorce by the timeshare founders that exposed many misdealings. So compared to that, I'm glad it's finally opening back up.
I am bit baffled by this -- it would greatly surprise me if FS took any ownership in this project. The owner is apparently Paralelo 19 Desarrollos, a real estate conglomerate based in Mexico City and the resort is a complete new build and not a reflag. I have seen some pictures and while it may appear a little brutalist for my taste, I will be very curious about the finished result. Knowing Félix will be opening GM, I am very certain that service will be of the highest order, as he takes great pride in that.
Maybe you can shed some light on this, if the resort you are talking about it unrelated to FS Tamarindo or it is being built on the former site of this resort, but to my knowledge the site of FS is a natural reserve, undeveloped.
