Xandari Resort & Spa

Stayed here for a couple of nights during our trip to Costa Rica. This is a lovely hotel with fabulous views of the city of San Jose. It has extensive grounds to explore with several waterfalls though there are a lot of steps to negotiate together to some of them. The room was very comfortable with a good balcony. It also has an excellent spa with massage treatments. All the staff were extremely helpful and both breakfast and dinner excellent. Definitely recommend is staying near San Jose.

I had a wonderful time at the beautiful resort exploring the waterfalls, and experiencing all of the natural wildlife. I ended with a wonderful massage and facial with Lisbeth. She did a fantastic job and I highly recommend her services :)

This was an absolutely beautiful day. The views were amazing, the service from Irene fantastic. Irene definitely knows technique and her hands are like butter. Everyone should go. I did the 4 hour package included with lunch which was chef's kiss.

We enjoyed are stay at the resort. The setting was beautiful and the staff was fantastic. We also enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the restaurant which had great views. But the highlight was the massages we got at the spa by Gloriana and Elizabeth. They were great and we left very relaxed. Highly recommend this resort which is a hidden gem and Gloriana and Elizabeth if you want a massage!!

Stunning setting. Views are just amazing from restaurant. Staff very helpful. Food pretty good. Huge rooms. Lovely high ceilings. Outside shower. Golf buggy system to get around. Healthy vibe. Grows lots of stuff in-house; eggs, vegetables etc. Great retreat. Enormous grounds with beautiful layout, waterfalls, nature trails, farms etc

Lack of charging points. No TV in room. Wi-fi only adequate. Lots of ' stuff ' usually included were 'extra'. Isolated, but some like it. Dont make the most of advertising the facilities. Lots of hilly walks and steep incline's. But can call for a buggy rescue. Could do with a technological upgrade at least. Come for TWO days at least. Four idealy

The spa is in the grounds of the fabulous Xandari Resort and Spa in Costa Rica. I had a deep tissue massage with Deymi - and it really was deep. She worked particularly deep on my shoulders and back of my legs, which really needed it. I would definitely recommend Deymi and this spa.

A really gorgeous hotel and spa. Just had a massage with Irene, the strongest masseuse! It was a short stay of 2 nights and we really would have liked longer. Food, rooms, views gardens and trails were all excellent. An original and beautiful hotel.

Fabulous couples massage by Amy and Irene with the birds and monkeys serenading in the background!

Xandari resort and spa is located in the hills above San Jose. It has spacious grounds containing waterfalls and a farm producing a lot of the produce used at the restaurant. The rooms are quirky and well equipped. We spent the morning at the spa. We had a private jacuzzi with amazing views. This was followed by a deep tissue and reflexology treatment with Elizabeth. She was extremely competent and left me feeling completely relaxed 😎 but spaced out. Overall highly recommend the hotel for its excellent staff, food and proximity to the airport whilst avoiding the San Jose traffic jams.

Fantastic hotel in great location overlooking San Jose set in its own jungle
