Xandari Resort And Spa

Shout out to Bacci Balladares that always provided friendly and first class service.

Popped in for a night before a longer route. Beautiful grounds, deep massage, luxurious spa. Staff was more than accommodating to our needs and friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Our first night in Costa Rica got off to a fantastic start thanks to Xandari Resort & Spa! Even though our stay was brief, this resort made an excellent first impression with its beautiful setting, unique accommodations, delicious food, and outstanding service. We stayed in the two-room villa, located toward the end of the property near the chicken coop. Surprisingly, the chickens weren't nearly as noisy as we expected, so no early-morning rooster concert to ruin our stay! The villa was also conveniently located near the infinity pool, and the balcony offered an absolutely amazing view. It was a great place to relax and take in the surrounding scenery. One thing to note: I don't recall seeing air conditioning in the rooms (although I may have overlooked it). Fortunately, opening the windows and doors allowed a lovely cross-breeze to flow through the villa, which helped keep things comfortable. The property itself is HUGE and features a trail system that takes you past several small waterfalls. We initially assumed the trails would be paved, but that definitely wasn't the case! We ventured out after a brief rain shower, and parts of the trail were muddy and slippery. We managed in flip-flops and regular street shoes, but learn from our experience and bring sturdy sneakers or hiking boots if you plan to explore the trails. We also enjoyed the resort's restaurant, which has an intimate atmosphere and patio seating overlooking the valley. The food was good, and the portions were generous—come hungry! The highlight, though, was the staff and their exceptional hospitality. Since we had an early departure the following morning and wouldn't have time for a sit-down breakfast, the staff graciously arranged breakfast bags for us to take along. These included hard-boiled eggs, fresh pineapple and mango, banana bread, assorted pastries, and juice. What a thoughtful touch! It was exactly the kind of personal service that makes a hotel stay memorable. Five stars for Xandari Resort & Spa! Between the beautiful views, spacious villa, lush grounds, good food, and genuinely friendly staff, this was a wonderful introduction to Costa Rica. We only had one night here, but the team made sure we enjoyed every minute of it. I'd happily recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing stay surrounded by Costa Rica's natural beauty. Just remember to pack your hiking shoes!

We have had a issue with the shower but as compassion we did get a great upgrade

Bianca and Gloriana were skillful, graceful and caring with the massage. Perfect accommodations, service and view.
