Pacific Kalokairi Adults Only

This vacation was one of the best vacations i've ever had. Everything was great, but the real unexpected treat was the hotel had a michelin rated chef, Daniel, who prepared unbelievable meals every night. Virginia and her staff were excellent and attended to every need we had. Couldn't be better.

This property is absolutely wonderful! And the staff is even better! Highly recommend staying here!

Reading past reviews assured us we were in for a treat when booking Pacific Kalokairi but yet, the team was still able to surprise us by making this experience better than what we could possibly have imagined! After a long year all my husband and I were looking for was to return to Costa Rica to immerse ourselves in the culture, enjoy the good weather and put the world on pause for 10 days, this hotel and its team provided that and more. The location is perfect, just a few minutes from the beach and all the buzz of restaurants, bars and shops but yet, completely in the middle of the jungle with quiet views of the ocean only interrupted by the beautiful sounds of nature and its birds. We laid by the pool enjoying the perfect temperature weather, drinking delicious cocktails and reading books long awaiting our attention. The rooms are beautiful and spacious tree houses with balconies and comfortable comfy beds that call you in for afternoon naps. Maximum capacity is 16 (8 couples) so, most of the time you feel you have the entire resort just for you. The food is delicious, from the thoughtfully crafted breakfast that is included in the nightly rate to the lunches and dinners created by a chef that has all the experience and none of the attitude, the nicest chef you will ever meet! The rest of the team is equally warm, kind and ready to help with anything you might need. The bonus is Charlie, the in-house dog that will interact with you if you want and leave you alone if you don't, he even bid us farewell the early morning of our departure which we really appreciated. After traveling the world I am convinced I will never find a better luxury experience with such a home feeling, we cannot wait to be back! (as there are already so many photos available of the property, amenities and overall location, we will share the food, sunsets, Charlie and team)

Amazing retreat!

This hotel feels so luxe. The room set up is amazing- bed is comfy and the shower is awesome. We had an ocean view room and the balcony was our favorite part of the room. We would have our morning coffee there and a wine or tequila night cap out there at night. The people at this hotel is what makes this hotel so amazing. The folks here are so welcoming. Even before arriving, Virginia helped us out by booking our shuttle from the airport. Everyone at the hotel was amazingly helpful and charming. Charlie the dog greets you every day when you come down from your room. This type of personal attention is what makes this hotel shine. Every night when we left downtown Tamarindo, we felt like we were returning home when we returned to the hotel. It is true the hotel is on a dirt road that is pretty steep, but of course it's somewhat to be expected when you are in a secluded area on a hill. Transportation was easy peasy- Virginia gives rides into town at set times which is really thoughtful. But if you want to take an uber, it's a quick ride and only costs about 5 dollar US. Our only regret is not eating dinner at the restaurant. Tamarindo has some really outstanding restaurants and we enjoyed dinner at Dragonfly, Sofia, Pangas and Patagonia. The vibe at the hotel is one of relaxation. I highly recommend Pacific Kalokairi.

We just got back from a week here. From the moment you get there until the day you leave you know that you have experienced something special. Every morning you are greeted with a friendly Good Morning from Charlie. He makes you feel like you are the only ones there. The staff is very attentive and it starts with Virginia and and flows from the bartender (Carlos), waiter (Herman), and the remaining staff. Can't say enough about the staff. This place is a little gem! Thanks for a perfect vacation Jim/Christine

Location and amenities over priced

What a great time! Small lodge with individual expansive and modern villas overlooking the ocean. Virginia and staff treated us like family and took care of anything you needed. If you are looking for a quiet place to chill, this is it. Chef Dan was top notch, we had dinner and lunch here pretty much every day (and I'm a picky American eater). The ride to town is short so all options are available for alternative meals. Mom made us breakfast every day, Carlos is always ready to make a drink or "eliminate" a grasshopper, Herman is the cool Argentinian we got to chat with every day and don't forget to give Charley some watermelon at breakfast when you go. If you like being treated like family, awesome views, clean, modern rooms and a quiet place to relax, this is your place. We'll be back to see our friends again...Pura Vida!

Pacific kalokairi was everything we hoped it would be and more! The rooms (or bungalows) are so big and the views are breathtaking. Everything is so clean and well taken care of. The staff are absolutely amazing and friendly. We’ve only been here for 5 days and they feel like family. And Charley the lab!! He is the sweetest old man puppy. The food here is truly incredible. We did not have a bad meal, everything we ate was a 5 star dining experience. Additionally, if you’re a yogi like myself, there is a yoga studio within walking distance. Matea is so friendly and is really passionate about her practice.

Wow, where do I even start? Our time at Pacific Kalokairi was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we made our reservation, we felt like we were in great hands, and that’s all thanks to the incredible staff, especially Virginia. Seriously, she is like an angel! She answered all our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Breakfast is amazing! Fresh juice, fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, bacon, pastries... you can pick something different every day. And if you're lucky, Charly, his sweet dog, will join you for breakfast, he absolutely loves watermelon! The location of the hotel is just perfect. It’s close enough to the city center that you can easily pop in for some sightseeing, but far enough away that you can soak in the beautiful nature around you and enjoy some peace and quiet. We loved it! Now, let’s talk about the food. Oh my goodness, it was out of this world! During our 9 night stay, we ate and had dinner at the hotel practically every day. No joke, it’s the best place to eat around! Everything was always spotless, and every meal was a delight. The rooms are modern, luxurious, and super spacious! We were blown away by the stunning views of the sea and mountains. Waking up to that every day? Pure bliss! All in all, if you're looking for a place that feels like home with amazing staff and breathtaking views, Pacific Kalokairi is the way to go. We can’t wait to come back!
