For many, it\u2019s a sense of ease, comfort and joy. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/residences\/private_residences\/costarica\/\">Four Seasons Private Residences Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo<\/a>, it\u2019s David Mendez\u2019s job to make sure every resident feels that from the moment they arrive. We asked Mendez to give us a glimpse into this unique homeownership experience from his insider\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As the Director of Residences, what is a typical day like for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about connection. My day starts by connecting with the team to talk about who is arriving that day, reviewing the itineraries of the residents who are already on property to see what they might need and, of course, making sure that every home is kept in tip-top shape. And then the most important part is connecting with our residents. Whether it&#8217;s arranging the room towels in a fun shape for families arriving with kids or preparing a cake, flowers and balloons for someone who is here celebrating a birthday, we want every single resident to feel love and recognition as soon as they arrive.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_2\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1558_COS_1460_970x540.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"Cos 1558 Cos 1460 970x540\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1558_COS_1460_970x540.jpg 970w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1558_COS_1460_970x540-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1558_COS_1460_970x540-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1558_COS_1460_970x540-360x201.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_3\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p><strong>Tell us about the relationship you and your team have with your residents.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most of our owners come to the property in vacation mode, so we really begin cultivating each relationship during the pre-arrival process, where we talk about everything about their upcoming stay and how we can make it special for them. We always remember any preference or detail they&#8217;ve shared during previous visits so we can make sure they feel at home. It&#8217;s truly a joy to have them back, and we want them to know and feel that.<\/p>\n<p>Our owners do like to be seen and recognized in public areas, so we never miss the chance to say hello. Some of our owners have been around long enough to see our team members grow within the organization and, in turn, some team members have watched our owners&#8217; children grow up, so there are often close, long-lasting relationships that are built over the years. There&#8217;s a strong sense of community here on Peninsula Papagayo that can be felt everywhere.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_4\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1268_970x540.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"Cos 1268 970x540\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1268_970x540.jpg 970w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1268_970x540-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1268_970x540-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1268_970x540-360x201.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_5\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p><strong>Four Seasons is known for its exceptional and intuitive service. What does that look and feel like for homeowners, and how does it differ from your typical luxury real estate experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Four Seasons, it feels like family. Like the comfort and trust of returning to a place that knows who you are, knows your family members and knows your preferences. It&#8217;s being greeted by a familiar face, with the feeling that you are living in a community that genuinely wants you to have a great time. We always aim to go above and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we had one owner who was very excited about his grandson\u2019s first visit. Before he arrived, we had a child\u2019s bathrobe embroidered with the baby\u2019s name on it. We also included a welcome amenity with a note saying \u2018Welcome to the world, and your new house.\u2019 Sometimes it&#8217;s more intimate gestures like this, but other times, we like to go big. My team is often seen driving down the street with colourful balloons flying from the golf cart to lead a special birthday parade.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_6\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1313\" height=\"1050\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1991_screen-hi-res.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"Cos 1991 Screen Hi Res\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1991_screen-hi-res.jpg 1313w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1991_screen-hi-res-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1991_screen-hi-res-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/COS_1991_screen-hi-res-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1313px) 100vw, 1313px\" \/>                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_7\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p><strong>What makes this Costa Rica property so unique?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For starters, our location in Prieta Bay on Peninsula Papagayo is simply mesmerizing, with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, magical sunsets and an unparalleled closeness to nature.
