The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Puerto Rico

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at Palm Court

Served daily from 7:00 to 11:00 am at Palm Court, the lobby lounge, and at Ocean Terrace by the pool once it opens in early November 2026. Without the benefit, the buffet costs about $52 an adult.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay for dining or the spa. It covers most of the Local Rum Old Fashioned experience, about $150 a person, or goes towards the Encanto Rum Massage or a day cabana at the pool.

03

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. The step that matters here is from a Garden-View Room towards a Deluxe Garden-View or Oceanfront Room, which sit closer to the beach and the main pool.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Check-in is at 3:00 pm, so an early room can turn a morning landing at SJU into a first afternoon at the beach.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We pass on children's ages for Kids For All Seasons, tee-time requests, transfer details and any celebration.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

The benefits apply on top of Stay Longer, with a free fourth night after three paid nights, and Advance Purchase, up to 25 percent off when booked 14 days ahead and paid in full, with no refunds.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Puerto Rico

Every guest room is between 62 and 70 sq m (674 and 748 sq ft) and opens to a furnished terrace or balcony, so view and position matter more than size.

The room to book

Oceanfront Room

69 sq m (741 sq ft), facing the Atlantic across the gardens, with a king or two queens. The version with a balcony sits on an upper floor; the standard one has a ground-level terrace.

Families on a budget

Deluxe Garden-View Room with Balcony

The largest guest room at 70 sq m (748 sq ft), and with two queens it sleeps four. The balcony has a daybed and a dining table looking over the gardens towards the sea.

Space for a family

Oceanfront One-Bedroom Suite

117 sq m (1,255 sq ft), with a living room, wet bar and a sofabed, plus a powder room with a shower, so a child can sleep in the living room without sharing the main bathroom.

A private hideaway

Governor Oceanfront Suite

233 sq m (2,510 sq ft) on the second floor, reached by a private lift, with a full-width terrace, a kitchen where a resort chef can cook, and its own beach cabana. It can be booked with a second bedroom.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Puerto Rico

01

Plan to swim in the pools

This is the open Atlantic, not a Caribbean lagoon. Red flags fly much of the time, especially in winter, so treat the beach as a place to walk and the pools as the place to swim.

02

Ask for a renovated building

The rooms are being redone building by building, and a few garden-view rooms still had older furniture in 2026. Later phases, into 2027, include an adults-only infinity pool and a spa renovation. We ask the resort to place you in a finished building.

03

Choose terrace or balcony

Room types ending in "with Balcony" are generally on upper floors with wider views. The others open at ground level onto the gardens, which suits toddlers and early swims. Tell us which you prefer.

04

Check which restaurants are open

The dining is being reworked. Perla and Ocean Terrace open in early November 2026, the Beach Club Restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the Sand Dollar beach grill opens only on weekend afternoons. Book Perla when you book the room.

05

Time the bioluminescent bay with the moon

Night kayak trips to Laguna Grande in Fajardo glow best on dark nights, so book within a few days of a new moon. El Yunque tours need booking 48 hours ahead, or a week in high season, and exclude children under 4.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Puerto Rico

Executive Chef Victor Rosado's kitchens use produce from the resort's own farm, and in-room dining runs around the clock.

Supper club

Perla

The new signature restaurant, opening in early November 2026 for dinner from 6:00 to 10:00 pm. Expect a caviar and martini cart, oysters and tomahawk steaks.

Mediterranean, all day

Ocean Terrace

The reimagined oceanfront restaurant beside the pool, also opening in early November 2026. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, with pizzas, house-made pasta and seafood.

Lobby lounge

Palm Court

The former El Bembé, with live music, Puerto Rican rums and ocean views. It serves food from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, with a sushi menu every evening except Wednesday.

Puerto Rican and American

Beach Club Restaurant

Lunch and dinner by the beach, Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 am, next to the Sugar Beach Pool, with Puerto Rican dishes and clubhouse classics.

On Property

Pools, golf and nature at Four Seasons Puerto Rico

More than 65 percent of the property is protected habitat, so much of the day here is spent outdoors on the water and the trails.

01

Two pools

The Seaside Pool has a gradual family entry, and the Sugar Beach Pool at the Beach Club has an adults-only upper level above a family pool. Day cabanas run about $450 to $550.

02

Bahía Beach Golf Club

An 18-hole, par-72 Robert Trent Jones Jr. course of 6,890 yards, with views of the rainforest from every hole. The driving range faces El Yunque and has a Trackman simulator.

03

Lakes, trails and the Boathouse

Kayaks, canoes and paddleboards on 28 hectares (70 acres) of lakes and canals, catch-and-release fishing and an inflatable water park. The Nature Centre lends bikes.

04

The Spa

Ten treatment rooms, four of them for couples, each facing the gardens, with steam rooms, saunas and hot and cold plunges. Treatments run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is warm all year, so the choice comes down to rates, rain and the state of the sea.

December to April
The dry, busy season and the highest rates, with holiday weeks filling first. The ocean is at its roughest, but this is the best time for the bioluminescent bay.
May to August
Hotter and more humid, with lower rates and often gentler surf. Leatherback turtles nest on the resort's beach from spring, and hatchlings emerge from June to August.
September to November
The height of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June to November, and the quietest months. Book refundable rates and check the forecast before travelling.
Travel

Getting to Four Seasons Puerto Rico

The resort sits on the northeast coast between Río Grande and Luquillo. As Puerto Rico is a US territory, no passport is needed for US citizens.

From San Juan airport (SJU)
Nonstop flights from across the US mainland. The resort's limousine transfer is not complimentary, at about $355 one way for two. Uber also operates in the area.
By rental car
A car makes day trips to El Yunque, Luquillo and Old San Juan, 43 km (27 miles) away, easier. The concierge can arrange a rental, from saloons to SUVs.
Good to Know

Four Seasons Puerto Rico FAQs

What is the best way to book Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico?

The best way to book Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.

What are the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Puerto Rico in 2026?

Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at Palm Court, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition. The benefits combine with the resort's own offers, such as Stay Longer.

Is Four Seasons Preferred Partner an official Four Seasons program?

Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the resort on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.

Travel advisor vs Amex FHR vs booking direct: which is best for Four Seasons Puerto Rico?

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Puerto Rico. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Virtuoso advisors can book Four Seasons Puerto Rico with the same core benefits, but Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own in-house program, and its bookings get higher priority for upgrades and recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme.

Is Four Seasons Puerto Rico the former St. Regis Bahia Beach?

Yes. The St. Regis Bahia Beach left Marriott and reopened as Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico in November 2025, after a renovation of about $40 million. Marriott Bonvoy points can no longer be earned or redeemed there, and Four Seasons has no points programme to replace them.

Can you swim in the sea at Four Seasons Puerto Rico?

Sometimes. The beach faces the open Atlantic, and the surf is often too rough, with red flags common in winter. On calmer summer days the waves suit older children, but toddlers are better off in the shallow entry of the Seaside Pool or the family level of the Sugar Beach Pool.

Is Four Seasons Puerto Rico good for children?

Yes. Kids For All Seasons is free for children aged 4 to 12 who are toilet trained. Families also use the petting zoo, the inflatable water park on the lake and the bikes, and children under 5 eat free in most restaurants.

How far is Four Seasons Puerto Rico from Old San Juan and El Yunque?

Old San Juan is 43 km (27 miles) to the west, a day trip by car or transfer. El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System, begins about 14 km (9 miles) away, so a morning hike fits easily before lunch.

Does it cost more to book Four Seasons Puerto Rico through Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

No. The Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate matches the rate the hotel publishes itself, and we charge no booking fees. The benefits are added at no extra cost.

Can Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits be added to a Four Seasons Puerto Rico booking I have already made?

Usually, yes, if you booked directly with the hotel. Send us your confirmation and the benefits can be added with the dates, rate, room type and cancellation policy unchanged. Bookings made through an online travel agency cannot be moved.
