Reviews for Xandari Resort And Spa
Book it and GO!
I booked this gem after we extended our trip. This place is a wonderland. My honey was beaming from the lobby to our room, to dinner to our nature hike. The property is vast and offers an amazing trail that exceeded our expectations. We hired a guide for bird watching, which was well worth the time and money. A must do. I don't want to giveaway the surprises on the trail, but, WOW! The food!!!!!!! The chef is ***** (five stars). The dinner was the best we had in our two week stay in Costa Rica. Amazing food, views and staff. Treat yourself and make a reservation. The accommodations are lovely. I wasn't sure what to expect, but we love the property. Our room was massive with our own private balcony. JUST, WOW!!!

Awesome couple massage therapy
Awesome massage therapy for couples, with herbal jacuzzi, great facilities and awesome view to the mountains and valley. The therapists Libia and Yoselyn did a wonderful job, and both my wife and I were extremely satisfied. The snacks with local tropical fruit and wine was outstanding . Thanks so much.

Wonderful retreat
This is a lovely resort, full of hard-working people with gracious attitudes. Irene and the Spa gave me the best deep tissue massage accompanied by a coconut body scrub that I have ever had. She has a healing touch, to be sure. Dillon, who assisted me at check-in, as well as with other aspects of my stay, really cares about the resort and pays close attention to details. I will be returning!

A nearby paradise
We spent two nights at this beautiful resorts and were treated wonderfully. Our massages and facials by Deymi and Lisbeth were so relaxing and soothing. Oscar and Mario in the restaurant kept us well fed and entertained. We thoroughly enjoyed the adventurous 5K hike down to the waterfalls, and greatly appreciated the bamboo walking sticks provided by the front desk, as the path was moderately steep and challenging. Our villa was spacious and clean, and the beds were soft and comfy. Even though it was rainy/cloudy in the afternoon, the grounds and property were stunning. A quick 30 minute Uber ride from Alajuela, or 45-60 from San José. Highly recommend staying here.

Incredible couples massage from Deymi and Irene. Best massage I’ve ever had and the ambiance in the couples room was amazing. All the staff are so kind and welcoming. Beautiful resort with very nice rooms. Would recommend this place to anybody looking for a getaway in the area.

We love Xandari. You have the perfect combination of elegance and comfort, without the pretension and over solicitousness of other comparable hotels.

You have created wonder and magic, and have topped it off with a friendly and gracious staff.

We have never been to a place where the imprint of human creativity is so well balanced with the beauty of nature.

My experience at Xandari has been more than value...it's about personal warmth and touch. Gentility is a rare treasure in the service industry. Costa Rica offers this on many levels and Xandari exceeds it.

“Travel Dates: March 24-28, 2013 Room: Villa 3 We are from the States. We chose Xandari based upon ratings from the trip advisor website, its proximity to the San Jose airport and its centrally located position (w/r/t to the country as a whole). We chose to rent a vehicle (easy to drive in Costa Rica as long as u have a 4x4 vehicle and a GPS)- would recommend limited night time driving. Xandari was an oasis set on the hillside with beautiful views of San Jose. The first night we arrived, we were greeted by the bellman and hotel desk staff. We were quickly whisked away to our room. We had an Ultra villa, which was more than enough room for me and my wife. The room had a small collection of ants near the screen door (my wife is terrified of bugs so this was more of an issue for her). The staff was extremely apologetic and quickly made arrangements to transfer us to another room. They did so within 15 minutes and we failed to have another complaint. Service at the restaurant was great, especially given the laissez-faire attitudes of most Costa-Ricans. The grounds were well maintained. The staff was extremely attentive and responsive to any request. The rooms were cleaned well by the maids. The bed, at least in my unit, was comfortable. Things to note: No air-condition, but they do have fans upon request (it gets quite cool at night, so this wasn't a significant issue for us). No TVs in the room, but they do have one in the main house (more of an issue if u like to keep up on your sports,etc while on vacation). Mild-moderate amount of insects outside of your rooms, but keep in mind the resort is set in a hill side jungle, replete with water falls, etc so this should be expected”
