Client comments and reviews

The Four Seasons was a really nice place to stay. The bungalow room was stunning, very large with great facilities and first class room service. Customer recognition was very noticeable. The facilities lacked for nothing with an excellent outdoor pool and a very good indoor pool/ spa and gym. The tennis courts and the equipment/balls provided were very good. Once again we didn?t get on the golf course because it was waterlogged!   I would suggest that you steer clients away from a River Plate view, it would not be value at all. We would recommend the resort very highly. We thought that it was good value. - DO (November 2009)

The Four Seasons hotel is the perfect place to start or finish a holiday to South America. - FW (February 2008)
