Xandari Resort & Spa

We enjoyed our stay at Xandari Resort. It's a gated resort about 20 minutes from the airport. The design is very unique and the grounds are beautiful. The view from the restaurant is beautiful, if not cloudy. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a comfortable bed and pillows. There was also a sitting area with a beautiful view. The sink area had plenty of space for toiletries. The only minor issue in the room were the trashcans (in the bathroom and bedroom) as they did not open when the pedal was pressed. The counter top and backsplash are mosaic tile and in some areas it needed to be cleaned better. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the on-site restaurant. The lunch was disappointing, instead of the Caribbean sauce we were used to at other restaurants, this was a thickened glaze instead. The dinner was much better. My husband had the fajitas and I had a beef tenderloin. The breakfast was very good. The staff both at the reception and the restaurant were friendly and welcoming. Would I stay here again? Though we enjoyed our stay, it was pricey. So, if i find a good deal, i would stay here again.

La vue magnifique , le décor de la chambre , la propreté , la possibilité de se promener dans la propriété pendant plusieurs km .Le petit déjeuner est très bon et complet . Belles piscines et jacuzzi .

Laisser une pièce à disposition pour mettre les bagages après le check out et pouvoir prendre une dernière douche avant le départ .

We visited the hotel on a day pass rate, which included access to all facilities and pools and a three course lunch, along with a one hour massage each. The hotel itself is beautiful- so many lovely trails to walk, we walked to the waterfall and it was so nice. We spent most of the day at the main pool, which was very peaceful with the most incredible view. The staff provide you with a WhatsApp number so you can order drinks to the pool and they will bring them to you. The food was incredible- good size portions and cooked incredibly well, the chocolate cake is a must have! The view from the restaurant is also lovely. The massages were two of the best we have had- great pressure levels and very attentive masseuse who made sure to tackle our problem areas. It took us just 40 minutes to reach here from San Jose, however due to the traffic (there was a concert on in the capital) it took us 2 hours to get back, so just make sure you bare that in mind. It was well worth the trip however, a great way to start our holiday.

Really chilled, nice facilities

Xandari is definitely heaven among the clouds. The beautiful grounds, wonderful meals and fantastic staff have made our final days in Costa Rica very memorable. Special thanks to Oscar who made our time here feel so special as he took extra care to make sure we felt cared for with personal attention. Thanks to all who made our stay the best form of Pura Vida we could hope for!

A super place away from the city bustle. We stayed at Xandari when we arrived on our Costa Rica trip over 2 weeks ago. Too tired and lack of time didn't allow us to take in the full Xandari experience. Fortunately we stayed the night before we flew so this too could take all that was on offer. 1st the staff is tremendous. A special shout to Karla who was so warm and helpful. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant . The views from our spacious and comfortable rooms were fantastic. The sunset was so perfect. It's a great place to both start and end your journey through Costa Rica. Highly recommend it.

Great massage at the very lovely spa from Lisbeth, following a jacuzzi experience looking out over the amazing forests and huge panorama. This was a fantastic peaceful way to spend a day following long haul flights. The wonderful caring staff, delicious food, terrific rooms, beautifully kept grounds & swimming pools plus waterfalls & hikes within the grounds make Xandari unbeatable. Highly recommended.

A lovely modern hotel overlooking the central valley. Comfortable large suite, stunning views. Well organised guided tours. Lovely restaurant and food. Staff very helpful. They lay on buggies to take you to and from your room. Highly recommend this hotel to start your Costa Rica adventure.

I just received a deep tissue massage, facial, as well as reflexology from Irene! Let me tell you, phenomenal! I highly recommend Irene at the Ayura wellness spa at Xandari

Stunning location with views over the San Jose valley and mountains. The staff were fantastic so enthusiastic and welcoming

Pool towels not available by the pool as reception was too far away
