Mohari Hospitality’s sole ownership of Peninsula Papagayo builds on a decade of progress and opens the way for continued investment in the destination, its people, and its extraordinary natural setting.
With support from Mohari Hospitality, Creciendo Juntos is launching the Active Communities initiative. The program will strengthen 14 sports groups and 10 cultural groups in the communities around Peninsula Papagayo, introduce a rotating physical education instructor, and aim to reach more than 1,500 children, youth, and families in its first year.
Peninsula Papagayo just released its 2025 Impact Report, marking the fourth year of reporting according to GRI standards and a continued commitment to transparency, accountability, and long-term impact.
What began in 2018 as a Creciendo Juntos and Mohari Hospitality pilot bringing ABCMouse® to 15 local schools has grown into a national education initiative with the Ministry of Public Education and Age of Learning. Today, the alliance will support more than 60,000 students across Costa Rica with free access to digital platforms that strengthen English, reading and math skills.
At Papagayo Park’s Art Studio, Mariana Jiménez Zúñiga helps residents and guests connect with Costa Rica’s artistic heritage through hands-on, place-inspired workshops shaped by the landscapes, traditions, and creative spirit of Guanacaste.
Espira at Papagayo Park marks the culmination of a journey that began with small community yoga classes on the beach and grew into a dedicated space for wellness, movement and connection. With a diverse program led by Kevin Arias, Monica Diaz and other instructors, the new shala invites members to step away from daily routines, reconnect with themselves and build a stronger wellness community.
A longtime houseman who once felt blocked, has transformed his career through company-provided English classes. The classes helped him build the confidence and communication skills needed to step into a guest-facing role. Today he welcomes guests as a spa locker attendant, guiding them with ease and assurance he once thought impossible. His journey reflects the growing impact of Peninsula Papagayo’s English program, which continues to open doors for colleagues across the destination and help them imagine and pursue new professional possibilities.
The Art Studio at Papagayo Park is an intimate studio to slow down, focus, and explore hands-on creativity through clay, painting, printmaking, and mixed media. With small-group classes, guest artist master sessions, and Open Studio hours, it connects the community to Costa Rica’s wider creative culture in a dynamic setting.
