About the location:
An oceanfront resort on Mexico's pacific, set within a private reserve. Escape to a secluded nature reserve in Mexico's Tamarindo, the pristine coastline where verdant jungle meets the Pacific Ocean. With our unique location on a private peninsula, Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México, invites you to leave the world behind and explore this undiscovered region of Mexico - far from everything, yet remotely close. This particular topography, and the wildlife that calls it home, make the area a treasure to be protected. We provide a natural refuge for those who seek an authentic connection to Mexico, its biodiversity and culture. The best of Mexico has yet to be discovered.

Restaurant Chef - Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo

At Four Seasons we consider life and work to be richer when we truly connect with the people and the environment around us.

Our family members are masters at their crafts - a gardener can become an artist, a manager a conductor, a chef an inventor. We look for employees who share the Golden Rule: people who, by nature, believe in treating others as we would have them treat us. We look for our people to characterize a shared passion for excellence and to infuse that enthusiasm into everything they do.

The upcoming Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo in Jalisco, Mexico rests on 3,000 acres of a protected natural reserve on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Most of its 155 rooms will boast exceptional panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, enveloped by the surrounding jungle and lush golf course.

Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo is heartily committed to showcasing the very best of Mexican Art, Culture, and Nature. The local community and their warmth are a key component of our guest experience and our Restaurant Chef will imbue a passion for this destination and the Culture.
