In Andaz Peninsula Papagayo, families can spend the day exploring Papagayo Park, with a water park and splash pad, racquet courts, pump track, casual restaurant, art studio and the Espira wellness shala. For nearby adventure, the Outpost at Palmares Preserve offers diverse experiences suitable for different ages and abilities, while Casa de Playa beach club, provides a place to slow down or enjoy water activities.

Adults can escape to adult relaxation pool, while younger guests discover, play and create at CAMBI. Together, these experiences make it possible to share time, find your own rhythm and create meaningful moments across generations.

From August through November, Costa Rica transforms as the rains bring new life to the tropical forest and surrounding ocean waters. The forest becomes greener and more lush, while sunny mornings and breaks in the rain often leave plenty of time for the beach and outdoor adventures. And when the rain arrives, it becomes part of the experience: slow down with a treatment at ONDA Spa, join a wellness session, or step into the kitchen for a hands-on cooking experience, from ceviche and empanadas to barista classes. At Andaz, Green Season is an invitation to experience Costa Rica at its most vibrant—and at your own pace.
