We bought this package for our anniversary, and it was perfect!  We had been working very hard with a moving project and were looking forward to arriving in Costa Rica and beginning with 3 days of total relaxation.  Xandari was the perfect place.  The spa was fabulous, and we used it everyday.  The staff was superior in every way, extremely  helpful and pleasant--very welcoming.  June was a good month as there were few people and we never once had to share the swimming pool or jacuzzi. . .it was like we had rented the entire property, almost!  We appreciated the solitude.  And we also appreciated the option of a delicious breakfast included in the price.  The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced--an excellent value for quality meals.  We will stay here again, probably with another Luxury Link package!

Pros: Amazing service! Beautiful location! Food at restaurant was pretty good (Only 1-2 items on menu that was costa rican food. when I go to another country I always try to eat local food, not food and flavors I can get at home.) Price of restaurant decent ($$-$$$, depends what you get). Continental breakfast included every morning (fruit plate, bagels, cheese, breads, jams, hard boiled eggs, yogurts, slices of meat). It was much more pleasant and delicious than it sounds in my list! Other breakfast foods (things that needed to be cooked, like omelettes, were additional cost). The restaurant waiters wait on you for breakfast too! New water bottles, juice, and cookies in room every day! Welcome basket of fruit. Pool area and Jacuzzi was beautiful! Private trails through their rain forest on property to see waterfalls. They give you a walkie talkie when you're on the trail in case something happens. Cons: Needs better wifi. Bugs in room (which I guess is unavoidable in the rain forest). Needs better shower pressure. No AC in room, only a fan and ability to open windows (bugs get in even with the window screens). I thought temperature was mostly tolerable because costa Rica cools off at night. But my husband's body temp is very sensitive so he said it was uncomfortable at nights. Restaurant needs more selection of costa rican food. No tv in room either. Overall we had a wonderful experience! Not sure if we would go back only because there's not much to do in Alajuela. Everything was really far away. Most of the days were spent driving to our daily activities. if you're looking for a quiet nature retreat, this place is perfect for you. But we like to travel and visit other areas in the country to sight see.

My husband and I chose Xandari for a weekend getaway because it was not very far from the airport. We certainly enjoyed our 3 night stay! The resort was beautiful, service was AMAZING, food was great, and the spa was relaxing as well. We couldn't have hoped for a better weekend!
