"This is our 'White Lotus' moment," I whispered to my travel partner as the gates to the Four Seasons Tamarindo opened.For the next two nights, we searched for our version of Victoria Ratliff and Rick Hatchett as we explored the enormous property on Mexico's Pacific Coast.By the end of the trip, we feared we were becoming characters ourselves as daily fresh-pressed juices became the expectation, and golf cart rides to our suite were the norm.I guess that's what happens when you spend too long at a luxury resort, and the Four Seasons Tamarindo in Mexico made it easy to slip into that role.I've been lucky enough to stay at boutique luxury properties around the world, but I'd yet to cross a Four Seasons off my list.That changed on a recent trip to Costalegre, Mexico, where I experienced the brand firsthand in a cliffside one-bedroom suite with an infinity pool. The resort's entry-level room starts at about $1,000 a night, and a cliffside suite typically ranges between $1,500 and $3,800, depending on the view and time of year. Business Insider received a media rate for the stay.During my two-night stay, I gained a better understanding of how Four Seasons earned its reputation for luxury.
