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.
In early 2025, Creciendo Juntos, Peninsula Papagayo’s long-standing community initiative, delivered critical flood relief, distributed textbooks to nearly 1,500 students, and expanded access to technology and cultural programs. Thanks to generous Member support, the program continues to uplift families, nurture local talent, and safeguard Guanacaste’s rich heritage.
Heavy rains displaced hundreds, disrupted travel, and tested resilience in Guanacaste.
In collaboration with Creciendo Juntos and Mohari Hospitality, Andaz has expanded upon Peninsula Papagayo’s involvement in INA’s dual-education program. This program aims to bridge the gap between education and hospitality industry needs, offering students the chance to transform their education into rewarding careers.
The Hub, unveiled by Creciendo Juntos on August 11th, aims to combat the digital divide that has left many needing proper access to technology and online resources. With 40 computers, high-speed internet, and workshops, the Hub opens new doors for children, youth, and adults seeking to enhance their digital literacy and skills.
Named one of the top agricultural projects in the country, the multi-award-winning Home Gardens initiative supported by Peninsula Papagayo and Creciendo Juntos in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture welcomes 50 new families from another eight communities to its groundbreaking seven-month agricultural training program, while recent graduates from the local community of El Triunfo have banded together to become Peninsula Papagayo’s first local produce supplier.
The third annual Peninsula Papagayo Invitational will take place on January 13th & 14th, 2022, with proceeds earmarked for a new technology hub to benefit local families in the surrounding communities.
What does local outreach look like at Peninsula Papagayo? Here are two recent examples: Four Seasons guests in town to support youth literacy through book donations to local schools; and a long-time resident member with a history of giving back — dedicated to putting healthy food on the table while creating a brighter future for local families.
