Four Seasons Puerto Rico Set to Debut! Here’s the Scoop

Brace yourselves for a lavish treat! Four Seasons is leaping into some serious expansion mode. Announced in late 2024, the magnificent Four Seasons Puerto Rico is getting its glow-up moment by taking the place of the St. Regis Bahia Beach. And guess what? It’s ready for bookings under its swanky new name. Here we go with the deets!

What’s Cooking at Four Seasons Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico?

Four Seasons has teamed up with Paulson Puerto Rico for this grand unveiling come November 2025. Essentially, it’s a stellar rebranding spree for the St. Regis Bahia Beach.

This gem sprawls across 483 lush acres at Bahia Beach, featuring 193 guest rooms and suites along with 85 private residences. Expect to indulge in two miles of pristine sandy beaches, scenic walking trails, a bevy of pools, top-tier tennis courts, a golf course straight outta paradise, a destination spa, and fitness goodies galore.

Transitioning from St. Regis to Four Seasons isn’t just a name change. The interiors are getting a facelift, ensuring jaw-dropping ocean views from the get-go. And yes, the pools are getting a revamp for that unobstructed ocean gaze, joined by swanky cabanas and a steam room with sauna bliss for good measure.

Dining Delights

• Paros Restaurant: Indulgent Greek & Mediterranean flavors.
• Seagrapes Restaurant: Poolside eats and sunshine treats.
• Beach Club Restaurant: Casually delicious vibes.
• El Cocoteros Grill: Golf bar & grill goodness.
• The Boathouse: Snack attacks all day.
• And there’s a lobby lounge, a sushi bar, and more.

Just a breezy 30-minute drive from San Juan’s International Airport (SJU), this tropical paradise is ideally accessible for a quick escape.

Joining Four Seasons’ lineup in the Caribbean, with stays belting out in Anguilla, the Bahamas, Nevis, and soon, Belize and the Dominican Republic. Guess the Caribbean just got a wee bit more glamorous!

Here’s My Take on the “New” Four Seasons Bahia Beach

Hey, it’s a mixed bag, folks.

True, luxury points hotel aficionados are bound to miss chasing those delightful bonuses – Four Seasons doesn’t dabble in points programs. With luxury stays costing well, a small fortune, that was a way to lighten the wallet’s burden using points.

But hey, a glam-up was in order. Four Seasons has a knack for amping up service quality and guest experience – they’re simply a cut above Marriott. Higher standards, anyone?

The buzz seems to suggest the owners were itching for a change, feeling a bit overshadowed by the Marriott exhaust (looking at you, Ritz-Carlton Reserve at Dorado Beach). Who can blame them for wanting a four-seasons’ fresh start?

Rates & Booking Clues at Four Seasons Puerto Rico

Does the charm come cheap? Not exactly. We’re talking major dollars, especially when demand for tropical sunshine skyrockets from chilly metros in the US.

Currently, rates hover around a steep $2,000 per night in high season, pre-tax. It’s hefty, but if ya snooze, you lose! Pro tip: keep eyes peeled for promo goodness on the hotel’s deals page. They usually stir up some appealing offers over time.

If booking, nab those sweet perks via a Four Seasons Preferred Partner-affiliated travel advisor. Think complimentary breakfasts, room credits, and upgrades (availability willing) – all that jazz, sans extra cost.

Unlike typical offers, Preferred Partner’s perks often play nice with Four Seasons’ best rates and promos. And wouldn’t you know it, Preferred Partner upgrades usually take precedence, beating out programs like Virtuoso or Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts.

Bottom Line

Get ready for a splashy welcome with Four Seasons Puerto Rico come November 2025. The property’s got a spruced-up look waiting in the wings, though losing out on a points haven stings a bit.
