Xandari Resort & Spa

Really enjoyed our stay . Beautiful, quirky, interesting architecturally and great artwork. Jocelyn and Elizabeth were both great at the Spa, the treatment rooms were lovely , amazing views. The chef is really good the food beat our expectations by far. The receptionist was friendly and efficient and the use of WhatsApp to book the spa and restaurant was handy. The grounds are beautifully kept a credit to the team.

Overview: Beautiful property and gardens, luxury resort with great facilities. Service: Excellent from every member of staff. Helpful and friendly with a special thank you to Karla for her extra special care, friendly manner and help. I always admire how some people can interact with people they've never met before, probably won't meet again and still provide service and information with a freshness that makes one feel one is the most important person ever! Accommodation: We had a Prima Plus Villa. It was very large, had its own little garden and a lovely balcony with great views and every amenity one could wish for including a huge bathroom and loads of storage. The slight downside was that it is amongst a small group of villas down hill from the main building (restaurant, reception) but reception send a golf buggy down to collect people if one doesn't want to walk up the hill. Location: Perhaps Xandari's Achilles heal. It is quite a way from both the airport and San Jose and the significant traffic means journeys to/from the hotel took us quite a long time. For that reason, we only ate in the hotel. Additionally, there is some irregular noise from planes and this can occur in the early hours. It's a shame but we didn't find it so intrusive as to disrupt our stay. Food: Although Xandari is in large grounds, it is a relatively small hotel in terms of accommodations. As might expect that plays into a somewhat limited breakfast buffet but hot dishes to order were available. We ate dinner twice and on both occasions the food was excellent. We stayed 3 nights. On our 2 full days we had 'half day' tours . That did not give us enough time to explore all the hotel grounds so we didn't get time to visit the waterfalls or use the spa, which looked amazing.

Die Prima Villa mit Bergblick war sehr geräumig. Das Abendessen im Restaurant war hervorragend, die Aussicht auf die Stadt schön und das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir mussten früh morgens zum Flughafen und erhielten eine Frühstücks-Box mit auf den Weg.

Die Villa ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Lisbeth was an awesome massage therapist! I feel so relaxed after a terrific vacation in a beautiful country!

The spa was excellent, we had the jacuzzi and massage experience. What a great view from the tub, overlooking the valley, galls of wine in hand. We had the most amazing massages from Gloriana and Deymi. We left so relaxed. Thankyou ladies! Highly recommend

On our annual trip to Costa Rica we always spend a few nights at Xandari. Located conveniently 20-30 minutes outside San Jose and on a hillside overlooking the city and valley this is the perfect place to start (or end) your CR visit. The grounds and rooms are artistically majestic. There are paths to see waterfalls, several pools, and views everywhere. There is a wonderful restaurant. And a great spa with Manager Lucy, and therapists Lisbeth and Gloriana who provided exceptional service. You can't go wrong with a stay here.

Surrounded by nature but convenient for the airport. The service left nothing to be desired. Friendly, competent and professional staff - from the dining area, cleaning staff, front desk and spa. The food was freshly prepared and the complimentary breakfast generous and varied I would/will return on my next trip.

I had the most delicious lymphatic drainage massage with Irene. I absolutely recommend

We stayed for just one night after landing late at the nearby international airport. This was part of our itinerary and was meant as a rest before moving on to other, more well known areas of Costa Rica. We really wish we had stayed for at least two nights. The hotel is lovely, food very good and the rooms comfortable. More importantly the staff were very helpful when the car hire company dropped off our rental car and we needed assistance with the formalities. The pools and grounds were lovely, we would have liked more time to explore all the hotel has to offer.

We had the best massages with Gloriana and Yoselin! We highly recommend booking a couples massage with the hot tub around sunset. It was beautiful and very relaxing.
